hey guys i was working today ,and had a visit from a Astralian customer . i showed him my 76 ranchero 500 that i am rebuilding and he was very interested. i asked him about astralian versions and he commented that Ford still makes a ranchero version under the ford falcon name. and that they are extremly popular in australia. he said "every guy wants one of these, we call them utility vehicles." so hey since ford seems to try everything oversea's before here . maybe just maybe we will see one here someday. just a little tid bit i thought you might find interesting.
