1965 Ford Ranchero – Senior-Owned, Fresh Build, Loaded with Quality Upgrades

 

 

This beautifully restored 1965 Ford Ranchero is a standout example of a classic car-truck hybrid done right. Finished in a vibrant Turquoise that absolutely pops in the sun, this Ranchero has been senior-owned for over 3 years and meticulously maintained throughout that time. The vehicle has been garage-kept and all major mechanical work has been performed under current ownership by respected Northern California professionals.

 

Under the hood is a freshly built 302 V8 completed by Rick Harper Automotive in Smith River, CA, offering reliable power with the right mix of performance and daily drivability. The engine is paired with a rebuilt C4 “Greendot” transmission by Roger’s Transmission in Eureka, CA, ensuring smooth and solid shifts every time. Out back, the rear end is tight and clean with a 2.73 gear ratio—great for cruising.

 

Steering and control have also been upgraded for modern comfort, featuring a new Borgeson steering box and pump, along with a tilt steering column. Ignition has been modernized with a Pertronix system, making starts effortless and reliable.

 

The list of thoughtful upgrades continues:

 

  • Classic Auto Air A/C system – cold and clean
  • Edelbrock 650 CFM carburetor and aluminum intake
  • Dakota Digital Gauges – functional and sleek
  • Wilwood front disc brakes for confident stopping power
  • Rear drums remain for a clean, factory-correct rear look

 

 

This Ranchero retains its vintage charm while integrating the right upgrades for a more refined, reliable, and comfortable ride. Whether you’re looking for a show-worthy weekend cruiser, a classic to take on trips, or a cool piece of Ford history, this Ranchero checks all the boxes.
