Ford Ranchero 292 CID V8 1959
General description :
Now up for sale in our Houston showroom is this 1959 Ford Ranchero. It is thought by many that the Chevy El Camino was the original car/truck hybrid vehicle but it was actually, the Ranchero. Seen here in a sleek and beautiful two-tone paint scheme. The body is straight & true. The exterior trim, bumpers, & emblems are all in great shape. They just don’t make cars with this level of character anymore. Powering this sweet truck down the road is what is to be believe its original 292 CiD V8 that is paired to a 3-speed (3 on the tree) manual transmission. Both the engine & trans are healthy and run smoothly during driving operation. Looking towards the interior the two-tone color scheme follows with the long bench seat that is in very good condition, as well as the painted dash, door panels, & headliner. The original dash components are restored to a nice finish. When you need to pile the tubes in the back to go down the to the river you can rest assured that the bed in this baby won’t let you down. All sides of the bed are in excellent condition. The car sits on its original Ford steel wheels that are wrapped in tires with plenty of tread on them. Overall the car is a nice rust-free cruiser that has class & character. The engine bay & trunk are clean as well just ready to be shown at your next local car meet. These do not come around often and you don’t want to miss your chance at owning a piece of history. Features on this car include, seatbelts & coolness. Give us a call to talk more about it!

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.
