1971 Ford Ranchero GT 351C 4bbl. C6 trans and 9" rear. All new interior components and all the trim are under a dealer installed toneau (SP?) cover. Also has all the original wheels, beauty rings and hub caps. Edelbrock intake with holley 4 barrel installed and unused. Original carb and factory intake under toneau cover. Original paint, yucky color. Price: free, but had to make a 1640 mile rounder to San Jose CA to get it.

Fantastic! I love those things. Would love to have one raised a bit on a Baja style suspension.
The price was right. What's the plan? Full restore, hot rod ?
Score !
Had a 70 Torino GT about 25 years ago. Those are very cool looking hotrods.
Great find HPD!
Great find and congrats
Got to love the old cars with unique style and personality unline the toady
Nice old truck! At my age I like nice new trucks.
A 4V Cleveland? Yeah, she'll chooch.
Cowboy Cadillac.

You were in San Jose? You should've reached out and I would've met up with yous.
See if you can get the plate "huevos" maybe you'll have to get creative like "huev00".
Sorry Yosh, I didn't realize you were that close. My friend and his wife were with me too, and it was a cannonball run anyway. 1640 miles in four days.
The plan is to get it running, then address a couple small but developing rust issues. Next install the new interior and all the trim. Put the original wheels back on keeping is as much a "survivor" as possible, and then sell it. Both my friend and I think the color is horrible, and neither one of us are Ranchero guys anyway. Now if that was a '67 Fairlane or a '68-'69-'70 Mustang fastback……Oh boy……
very cool!
Nice score
austin20 - Love to get me a Holden or what was sold here in US as a Chevy "SS" a four door sedan (we never got the El Co looking ones). A 2014 - 2017 would be the ones to get in Lime Green or Orange.
Brings back memories
