A 1966 Ford Ranchero is a rare find, and finding one in this condition is even rarer. The Ranchero was restyled for 1966 and would be the last year the Ranchero would have Falcon style front sheet metal. In 1967 Ford styled the cars to look more like a Fairlane, making the 1966 model unique and sought-after by collectors today. This sharp-looking Ranchero in finished handsomely in Wheatland Yellow with white hood stripes that showcase a custom installed non-functional hood scoop. Additionally, this classic has been enhanced with upgraded tri-bar headlights, dark tinted glass and a quality Craftec hatch-style tonneau cover with no snaps that lifts up to reveal a beautiful custom-made oakwood bed floor cover that looks amazing. A set of polished American Racing wheels with tires staggered 225/40ZR18 front and 285/30ZR20 rear give this classic Ford a great looking stance.

Under the hood is a healthy 302 cubic inch engine mated to a C4 automatic transmission that sends power back to a 9-inch Ford rear end with traction bars.
