Ford Ranchero 390 CID V8 1970
General description :
Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to offer a beautiful 1970 Ford Torino Ranchero 500. They're only original once; this particular 1970 Ranchero is a great example of a low mileage, unrestored vehicle which has been lovingly cared for since new. This Ranchero wears most of its factory yellow paint. Perhaps the most amazing portion is the bed which hardly has a scratch or dent! The car belonged to a farmer whom only used it as his "going to town" vehicle. Stored indoors, it has remained rust free and incredibly clean. The interior hardly shows any wear with saddle colored upholstery across a comfortable bench seat. The dash and carpet even look like new. Pop the hood and you'll find the original 302 CID V8 well optioned with power steering and power brakes. Behind the 302 is the original automatic transmission which shifts beautifully. With only 30,006 original miles on the odometer, this baby is just getting broken in. That's right, that's less than 700 miles per year since new. The car has recently received some maintenance items to be sure it is 100% road ready including new tires, shocks, new carburetor, fuel pump, water pump, and hoses. The bumpers have been rechromed as well to match the nice paint. There are not many survivors from 1970 left, so this one is a special car to say the least. You can see this beautiful 1970 Ford Ranchero 500 in greater detail in our St. Louis showroom or at http://www.GatewayClassicCars.com.

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
