This 1967 model spent its first life in the dry climate of Arizona before being brought to Texas as a rust free body that the current owner spent 8 years making into his dream machine.
His goal was a usable and reliable Pro-Street that could be taken on long trips. Health has cut that dream a bit short but the owner did take it on the Long Haul Hot Rod Power Tour.
The car was completed in 2017 the same year of the tour. Various professional shops were utilized to complete the build on this rust free body that had no previous accident damage. It is painted PPG code 16429 Rich Blue Metallic that really pops in the sun. The professionally applied paint has no hint of orange peel.
The bright work throughout has been reconditioned or replaced to retain the original design elements, note the original side moulding and Ranchero emblems including the Longhorn on the tailgate.
The bed holds a fitted and usable tonneau cover.
American Racing wheels (17"-front, 18"-rear) carry Michelin 245/45ZR tires at 80% tread.
The fresh 5.0L HO crate motor (approx 2400 miles) starts and runs strong. A FiTech fuel injection system sits on an Edelbrock Performer intake, along with shorty headers and great sounding yet quiet dual exhaust. The original shock towers have been replaced with a smooth inner fender well that leaves a clean and roomy engine compartment.
A 5 speed Ford T-5 manual transmission with a hydraulic clutch shifts like butter.
A well balanced power brake system with disc up front and drum rear does the stopping.
A GM late model Power Rack & Pinion puts the precision feeling into the steering.
The ride is improved with front double a-arms and coilovers from Rod & Custom front suspension.
The interior is re-upholstered in 100% leather and has no blemishes. The split bench seat carries retractable seat belts. The custom console provides cup holders and storage space. The dash is detailed in Black and topped with a fresh dash pad. The original gauges are in place and additional gauges exist on the custom pod under the dash along with a column mounted tach.
The Classic Auto Air blows through the hard to find factory AC vents.
An AM/FM and bluetooth now resides behind the factory looking AM radio.
