*1970 Ford Ranchero GT* * Extremely Rare 1 of 66 Ranchero GT With 429ci V8 and 4-Speed Manual * Beautiful Condition With Extensive Documentation * Seattle Area Car From NewAlthough Chevrolets El Camino may be the more famous of the car-truck hybrids produced by an American manufacturer Ford began production of their Ranchero a whole two years before Chevy unveiled their car. Debuting in 1957 the first Ranchero was based on the Ford full size sedan chassis of the period and was essentially a Courier Sedan Delivery wagon with the roof removed and a truck bed in its place. The Ranchero became an instant success- with more utility than a sedan and a higher payload than the contemporary light duty F-Series pickup the Ranchero was the originator of the luxury pickup. Over the Rancheros 22 year run the car went through seven revisions and sold over 508 000 units in that time.This 1970 Ranchero GT is a truly unique example of the fifth generation body style. As style moved along the Ranchero became more muscular and to compete with the El Camino they began to offer more high performance engines options. The 429ci V8 found in this example was the top of the line and a major upgrade at the time over the standard engine options. When this engine was backed by a 4-Speed manual it was even more uncommon- this example is one of just 66 Ranchero GTs with these options built in 1970. An original Seattle car and sold new at Fugate Ford in Enumclaw WA this Ranchero has been lovingly cared for since new and has been owned by the seller for 35 years. Painted a beautiful shade of Candy Apple Red with Laser Stripes and GT badging the exterior features the unique hideaway headlamps that were a key design element of the fifth generation of Ranchero. The red paint was contrasted by a set of 14 Magnum wheels and a GT hood with a fresh air scoop to add to the already muscular design.Representing a beautiful high quality driver this Ranchero has been tastefully upgraded over the years for driveability and an increase in performance. After its purchase in 1987 the current owner undertook a minor overhaul of the car by having the engine rebuilt and the interior reupholstered both in 1989. Since then the car has been treated to some tasteful performance upgrades such as an Edelbrock Performer Intake Edelbrock 4 Barrel Carburetor Mallory Ignition system and jet coated Hooker Headers. The cooling system was also upgraded with an aluminum water pump and electric fans for maximum reliability on hot days. In 2009 the seller had the posi-traction rear end rebuilt and has gone to great lengths to make sure the car is always in optimal mechanical condition and ready to use. Featuring documents such as original owners manuals service records original sales literature and a Marti Report this 1970 Ranchero GT is a perfect example of a rare muscle car in fantastic driver condition.*Aftermarket Upgrades* * Edelbrock Performer Intake * Edelbrock 4 Barrel Carburetor * Mallory Ignition * Aluminum Water Pump * Electric Fans * Jet Coated Hooker Headers * Full Stainless Steel Exhaust * Serpentine Belt Retrofit * Chrome Valve Covers*Additional Information* * Original Owners Manual * Shop Manuals * Service Records * Original Sales Literature * Marti Report*Standard Features* * 302ci V8 Engine * Manual Gearbox * Dual Master Cylinder Brake System * Independent Front Suspension With Coil Springs * Solid Rear Axle * Leaf Springs * Interior Heater * Vinyl Interior * Front Bench Seat * Flow Through Ventilation * Quad Headlights * 12v Outlet * 14 Steel WheelsFor more information on this 1972 Ford Ranchero GT or our 100+ Luxury Sports and Special Interest cars always in stock contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales consultants or always feel free to drop by our 40 000+ sq ft of Indoor Showrooms in Bellevue WA - Home of an Exciting Inventory of Luxury Exotic High Performance and Collectible Automobiles.
