1961 Ford Falcon Ranchero Rat Rod - This thing breaks necks and
gets thumbs up wherever it goes. This is a ground-up build to make
the most outrageous and unique rat rod you'll ever come across.
Taken down to a shell and what was left of the frame, a mid-1980's
460 7.5L V8 was crammed under the hood. Linked to that is a
matching C6 transmission and 10.25" Sterling rear end with limited
slip 410 gears that support duallies. Wherever possible, all parts
used were Blue Oval - 100% Ford. Seats are from a mid-1980's
Mustang, hood and rear fenders are from a mid-1940's truck, rear
tailgate is from a 1959 Ranch Wagon, rear seat is from a 2004
