THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new ownerat NO RESERVEis this cool classic 1971 Ford Ranchero
The working five digit odometer shows just over 41,700 miles which is said to be 141,700 but I cannot 100% verify the actual mileage. This 47 year-old vintage Ford sports a great running 302 cubic inch [4.6 liter] V8 engine mated to the factory 3 speed automatic transmission with stopping power by front disc and rear drum brakes. It has chrome moon cap wheels with good rubber and had a host of recent repairs which include thermostat housing and hoses, tie rod ends, idler arms, strut rod bushings, sway bar bushings, turn signal switch, carpet, plug wires, rebuilt carb and a few other miscellaneous things. It is being sold with clean and clear California title and current registration and two sets of keys.
Offered here on ebay at NO RESERVE,this is a fabulous find...for about the price of the sales tax alone on a new F150!
THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this 1971 Ranchero is in fair condition with a light misting of white primer and brushed on satin black hood. There are a few rough areas of bondo ready for final sanding, pitting on the front bumper and chrome wheels and many other imperfections. It is ready for a completion by someone more skilled than me.
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this Ford is also in fair, somewhat tattered condition overall. The carpets are new, the odometer, lights, blinkers and interior light works. Weak points include uncushioned seats, dash cracks under the cover, headliner corner sagging a bit, door panels and arm rests rough, gauges foggy and radio and hvac inop.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic Ranchero starts right up with great running engine and nice V8 rumble, smooth shifting transmission, excellent solid braking and surprisingly tight responsive steering with good straight tracking. It is a cool drive! See videoo here: https://youtu.be/U2y2YYYmuhU
