Ford Ranchero GT 351 Cleveland V8 1972

Allmän beskrivning : Description
Wearing a super sharp paint scheme and propelled by an eager, potent engine, this 1972 Ford Ranchero GT represents Ford's half-car/half-truck as it hit its 15th anniversary. Combining ease of entry and exit with the ability to haul burdens as needed, the Ranchero was actually the first of its revolutionary kind to be introduced to the car buying public, and this specimen is looking sharp both inside and out and is in thoroughly road ready condition.
You see far fewer of these Rancheros than you do of its rival and while it occupies the same niche, it's got a singular appearance - broad and rugged, with a substantial wheelbase. Its relatively compact cabin is bracketed by both a sizable front end and bed area, equipping the model to easily handle a substantial engine and carry an appreciable load when pressed into service. The bright red paint this '72 wears is ornamented with sweeping stripes down the lengths of the sides and is definitely an effective pairing - a thorough wet sanding and buffing session will elevate it even further. Below that paint is a solid, rust free body that shows precise alignment, with even gaps between panels, and doors and hood that open and close easily. This Ford carries minimal badging to really let the paint take center stage, but what is on board is in great shape, as are the bumpers at both ends. New seals surround the doors and windows to keep the elements out.
Inside, you'll find a fresh-looking interior sporting its original black hue. Having been recently reupholstered, the vinyl bench seat shows virtually no wear and looms over an expanse of fresh black carpet that, along with the dash pad up front, was also added not long ago. Just beyond the factory-issue steering wheel is a full assortment of stock gauges that are still easily readable and, with the center section normally reserved for the stereo now wearing a matching black panel, the dash area has a striking, minimalistic appearance, though a sound system of your choosing could be easily installed. The aftermarket climate control system is functioning perfectly and will have no trouble warming and cooling the cabin as needed - its controls are seamlessly hidden below the dash to maintain an uncluttered look. The expansive bed area in back is covered in glossy red paint to match the exterior and the surrounding trim has been painted in silver to add a touch of customized distinction.
In addition to its timeless appeal, this Q code Ranchero runs and drives nicely. It's powered by a 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8, a thoroughly respected vintage engine, that sits in a well-maintained bay, wearing proper blue paint on its block, air cleaner and valve covers and surrounded by a collection of fresh hoses. The motor pairs with a 3-speed automatic transmission that shifts with slip free precision to make for a very solid drivetrain - you'll have no qualms hitting the road just as frequently as you wish. The power steering system now features a new pump and makes navigation easy, while power brakes that position discs up front offer low effort, fade resistant stops and, with coil springs in back, the ride is surprisingly smooth and quiet. A set of 14" Magnum wheels with spinner centers that are wrapped with Grand Am Radial GT tires cap off this classic's convincingly authentic appearance.
You don't see many of its kind on the road these days anymore and the sharp curb appeal and strong running condition of this 1972 Ford Ranchero GT really makes it a standout. Call today!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.
