| DESCRIPTION |
| Wow this 1972 Ford Ranchero is a lot of V8-powred coolness for not a lot of cash. Recently refinished in its original color combination, it's a numbers-matching truck/car loaded with options and did I mention what a great price it carries? Wow! The body and paint were restored about two years ago, and it shows quite well. The factory correct code 5A Light Pewter Metallic fits beautifully on this car. Not over-done, it has a great shine that you'll be proud to wax on Saturday afternoons, but not so perfect you'll be afraid to still use it as intended. Clearly never a working machine, it shows no signs of rust or damage that would suggest abuse, and even the bed is commendably tidy and clean. The Ranchero got a facelift in 1972, which included a new grille and headlights and body panels that closely mirrored its brother, the Torino. Yellow side stripes and a dramatic hood treatment that surrounds the hood scoop add to its sporty demeanor, perfectly capturing the playfulness of the early '70s. The black vinyl roof is an unusual option that's in great shape, and all the glass remains clear. This one really is as nice as it looks. The interior will tell you more about this car than just about anything else because it's almost entirely original. Yes, that factory-issued bench seat hasn't been abused by a guy wearing a tool belt, the carpets are clean enough to have never seen a set of dirty boots, and the door panels show little more than a depression where the driver's elbow must have been resting. The sporty leather-wrapped wheel looks great in the all-black driver's compartment, and five round dials promise a high-performance experience behind the wheel. This particular car is loaded with A/C, power steering, power brakes, and a factory AM/FM radio that still sounds pretty good. There's also some modest storage behind the seats, which is especially important when your trunk is open to the elements. A 351 Cleveland V8 lives under the hood, and yes, it's the car's original powerplant. At this price, you wouldn't expect it to be so neatly detailed, but there's fresh Ford Blue paint on the block, a correct air cleaner with a 351 decal, and absolutely no signs of neglect or abuse in its history. With a recent tune-up, it starts quickly and idles smoothly with a great V8 burble from the twin Flowmasters underneath. It's backed by a C6 3-speed automatic transmission that was built to work for a living and the 9-inch out back has 3.25 gears that are great for both scooting around town and cruising on the highway. The chassis and floors are quite clean, albeit original, and there's just nothing like a highly original car out on the road. There's a new gas tank out back, which also includes a fresh sending unit. Handsome cast aluminum wheels show no curb rash or damage, and have been fitted inside 225/75/15 BFGoodrich radials. An exceedingly nice car, it's only a matter of time before these become prized collectables, so get a good one today while they're still giving them away. Call now! This vehicle is located in our Atlanta showroom. For more information, please call (678) 279-1609 or toll free (877) 367-1835. | |
