Ford Ranchero 289 V8 1967

General description : RARE 500XL RANCHERO, 289 V8, AUTO, AC, PS, PB, FACT. COLORS, BEAUTIFUL IN & OUT!

Can't decide between a muscle car, premium classic, and a cool vintage truck? No problem. You can have it all in this 1967 Ford Ranchero 500XL. With the unique exterior, premium interior, and a 289 V8 under the hood, it's an attractive total package.
We bet it's been a while since you've seen a Ranchero based on fifth-generation Fairlane, right? That's because these are rare. In fact, there were less than 1,900 examples produced of this range-topping 500XL in 1967. So how many of those do you think survived half a century looking this good? The panels look fantastic, the trim is complete, and the bumpers are wide and mirror-like, so you can really see the intricate detail that when into creating this unique car/pickup. The factory-correct Springtime Yellow is understated in many situations, but thanks to a respray it really pops in the sunlight. Plus, this has all the best '60s Ford features, like the stacked headlights, 289 callouts on the fenders, and the stylish 14-inch GT-style Deluxe wheel covers.
The Ranchero in premium 500 XL trim really showcases its upscale mission inside with handsome stitching on the bucket seats, a center console, and lots of chrome on the instrument panel. So this feels more like a luxury classic than a pickup truck. The dash has even been freshly painted to keep this premium attitude. But beyond just looking great, there is a feeling of originality. You see in large horizontal speedometer that's bright and clear. You feel it when gripping the artful factory steering wheel. The level of care in this one goes right into the details like the factory clock and AM radio – both of which are still working perfectly today. You even have factory air conditioning that has been converted to R134a.
Under the hood is Ford's 289 cubic-inch V8. It's the same unit that was available in the Mustang, so when matched with a four-barrel carburetor, this has plenty of power to keep the dual exhaust making the proper throaty sounds. On the more practical side, the optional three-speed automatic transmission is flexible enough that you can take this car everywhere from around town, to long trips down the highway. This same easy cruising attitude goes for the power steering and power brakes.
Rare and interesting with a striking number of surviving components – this Ranchero going to be the star in someone's garage. So don't miss this deal, call today!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
