This 4th generation Ranchero takes its handsome good looks from Ford’s Torino GT and is
more than just a pretty face. Under the hood beats a 428 Cobra-Jet for some tire shredding
fun and Big Block Flowmaster thunder. Its sporty intermediate size, high performance
engine and upgraded suspension makes it ideal muscle. Call Jordan (612) 290-9299 with
any questions you may have. See the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaYmed70wEU
INTRO/HISTORY:
Ford produced the Ranchero from 1957-1979 and lit the fire at Chevrolet to create the El
Camino in 1959. Over the years the various style changes made it a compact, intermediate
and a full size. In 1968 it was derived from the Fairlane/ Torino and was trim and muscular.
Originally a 390 car this beautiful GT example now has a 428 Cobra Jet V8 hooked up to a
Streetfighter C6 automatic transmission. It comes with a clean and clear title

OVERVIEW:
It’s fun to have something unique at the show and you don’t see many of these Rancheros
especially in this kind of condition and Big Block powered. This was one of the best years
for styling with that lovely Torino front end. Lean and muscular it is a showstopper from
every angle and is in a terrific color combo very emblematic of the day. Blue Oval fans will
crowd around this Ranchero GT and you will enjoy cruising with that Big Block Rumble.
