diff'rent strokes
Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks!! Back in 79 I was working at the local Ford dealer in B'ham, Al cleaning cars for a summer job before I headed out to college.. I had my eye on a silver/blue Ranchero and drooled over it every day for 3 months...not even knowing they would stop makin' them!! Course had to settle for my '76 Nova with the in-line 6 and AM radio for the next few years working through College and all, but never forgot the silver/blue Ranchero... Well after 25 years I just bought me 79 silver/blue Ranchero Brougham just last night...It's shipping out of Seattle to B'ham in a few days and I feel like my kids do at Xmas morning jumpin' to get their hands on that box under the tree... I'm fixin' to get some pics posted if I can figure out how..
It ain't no 71 or even a 59, but maaan it feels GOOOOD!!!

Sweet ride. The 70,71 and 72 years are my favorite. I'm looking for one of these three years in a Torino. You know the story... owned a sweet 72 Torino sport 351 auto factory hood scoop magnum 500 window sticker etc. Sold it to work on a 4x4 project.
I kick myself daily.
Good luck with yours.

My favorite years for the Ranchero would be the 68-71. I think the 68-69 interiors were the best with the 4 pod gauges. And I just love the front ends of the 70-71. Plus, those 4 years had the hottest engines available.
By the way, I own a 1970 Ranchero GT, 351 C 4v, FMX automatic, A/C, PDB, P/S, have the owners manual, original temp. owners card + build sheet.
