Dipped in a coat of Cordovan Metallic, this 1979 Ford Ranchero GT marries the rugged functionality of a pickup with the sleek lines of a classic Ford. The body's sheen reflects an adventurous spirit, enhanced by gold stripes that add a layer of sophistication. These stripes catch the light, drawing eyes along its contours. The bed, in great shape, hints at practicality without compromising style. Riding on 15" wheels in 225/60R15 BF Goodrich tires, this Ranchero commands a bold and inviting presence on the road.
Inside, a maroon bench seat crafted from cloth offers a welcoming embrace, setting the tone for an interior with function with comfort. The maroon expanse is a canvas of well-preserved history, with original door panels, headliner, and a dash that has overseen countless journeys. An AM/FM cassette player provides the soundtrack to your travels, while air conditioning ensures comfort no matter the weather outside. Power steering whispers of effortless navigation, promising a ride as smooth as the tunes from the stereo.
Up front, the 351 Windsor V8 engine, adorned with an Edelbrock intake and carburetor, sits ready to spring into action. It's a mostly stock affair, with the occasional modern touch like a Napa replacement voltage regulator ensuring reliability. This powerplant is paired with a drivetrain that remains true to its roots, reflecting its stewardship by the same family since the 80s. The suspension duties are adeptly handled by coil springs with shocks up front and trailing arms with coil springs and shocks at the rear, ensuring a ride that's as comfortable as it is commanding. Braking is no afterthought, with power disc brakes at the front, ready to bring this enduring beast to a halt at a moment's notice.
