Advice on restored 79 Ranchero GT
I am normally in the diesel section but have started looking for a restored classic I can drive without breaking out the 1 ton truck. I have found a 79 ranchero completey restored w/ rebuilt drive train, repainted outside and engine compartment, ungercarriage etc. The only thing missing is the silver trim on the wheel rims which are all currently black. It also comes with a spare parts car.
I have not been dealing with the ranchero much and am going to be looking at it again in the next 48 hours or so. I was hoping to get some advice on what I might be looking for. He is asking $7500.00 but is willing to negotiate the price. Based on the condition and inclusion of the parts car what he is asking seems reasonable. But once again I would like the opinions of members in this forum.
Thanks in advance

The price you got sounds pretty darn good (and negotiable too ). I paid 3K in 1998 as a no rust, low mileage, 1 owner, etc., etc. As previously suggested >>>>CHECK THE ENGINE<<<< and check for signs of accident related damage (frame ) and EASY ON THE BONDO. The rest is fixable if needed. That's my $0.02 worth.
