When this 1957 Ford Ranchero first rolled off the assembly line to herald the arrival of a truly revolutionary vehicle pairing the utility of a pickup truck with the easy drivability of a passenger car, no one could have imagined that it would emerge nearly 70 years later looking this good. Dressed in a very effective pairing of white and gray, this is a classic that demands attention. The tasteful paint job is in fine shape and is complemented by a collection of chrome that's in uniformly clean condition. This vintage Ford's aggressive stance strikes a nice balance, resulting in it being low enough to confirm that some aftermarket workmanship was involved, but without going so overboard as to leave it unable to contend with everyday driving conditions.
The matching interior makes for an inspiring driving environment, featuring clean painted surfaces paired with vinyl upholstery showing only the slightest of wear. The broad bench seat is especially comfortable and offers an added console offering a pair of cupholders and some welcome interior storage space. You'll find a collection of Dakota Digital gauges in the instrument cluster to help you monitor driving functions, and the aftermarket under dash air conditioning unit is running in top form to keep you and your passengers comfortable, year-round. There's also a retro look AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary port now on board in the dash, and while it's currently disconnected, it's otherwise ready for duty.
Beneath the hood, a 5.0-liter high-output V8 engine stands ready to provide plenty of reliable power. Fed by electronic fuel injection, it pairs with a 4-speed automatic transmission that's operating in good form, sending a deep but subtle note out of the pair of Glasspack-style mufflers in back. Electric power steering has been added to the mix to make this classic truck easy to handle, while power brakes that position discs up front give it the stopping ability to deal with modern driving conditions. An upgraded aluminum radiator now sits up front to help keep operating temperatures under control.
