Ford Ranchero 1969
General description :
302 V8, SOUNDS AWESOME, 3SPD TRANS, GR8 COLOR COMBO, CLEAN IN/OUT, RUNS GREAT!
A little bit of fun, a little bit of history, and plenty of V8 attitude... that's what you get in this 1969 Ford F-100 Ranger.
Trucks from this era are always a great part of nostalgia because they remind us of a hard day's work. So when you combine it with the blacked-out treatment, this Ford looks like it apprenticed with the grim reaper. There's a more modern respray on this one, but really it doesn't detract from the rugged attitude it puts forward. You still get the extra trim that comes on the upper-level Ranger models, and we love that's complete right down to the hood ornament. But the black chrome wheel really give this one a meaner attitude. And that's reinforced by the red streak across the grille and those side pipes peeking out from in front of the rear wheels. And while you might like this one on its attitude alone, it's still a workman pickup at its heart. That's why the bed is painted matte black and you have a trailer hitch – so this vintage truck is still up to any task you can throw at it.
Just like a muscle car, we love the how the red interior looks against the dark exterior – and best of all this presentation is factory-correct! The seats are a durable red vinyl with comfortable cloth inserts. This coordinates nicely with the newer door panels and carpeting to create a very fresh and uniform interior. The dash is black and coordinates nicely with the other deep dark elements of the interior. You slip behind the original-style red steering wheel and look out over Ford's original stylized gauge cluster. You're going to spot some nice upgrades like the auxiliary gauges and AM/FM/CD stereo, but don't think for a minute this pickup is out to coddle you. One twist of the key, and you can instantly hear a rumble that's perfect for this sinter-looking machine.
Under the hood is a 302 cubic-inch V8 that's nicely presented with bright valve covers and air topper. And we love how the bold blue block radiates from within the dark engine bay. A nice Holley performance four-barrel carburetor is there to help the V8 inhale deeply, and it exhales with authority out of a new 2.5-inch dual exhaust system with Thrush glasspack mufflers. And you get to enjoy the extra thunder this exhaust brings thanks to the control of the three-speed manual transmission. Add in the twin I-beam front suspension and modern grip of Kendra radials, and this is a mean-looking classic with some comfortable moves.
This truck came from Ford's #22 ordering district, which was Charlotte. And we always love selling a pickup out of its hoe district, even if it's nearly half a century later. So this is an interesting looking pickup with plenty of growl and a story to tell. And when a package is that distinct, and also affordable, you know it's going to be a hot commodity. Call now!

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.
