This Old Ad: The 1972 Ford Ranchero 500 | Ford Trucks

Thanks for clicking!

 

Nice old ad! Happens that I just acquired this:




It's a '72, pretty decent shape, the owner was moving clear across the country, so gave it up for a song: three-thousand bucks! Has a 351-C 2-V engine, but I'm disappointed to say C-4 instead of C-6 transmission. The wheels are off a Lincoln. It stood over a month on my drive, awaiting some kind of action, not a single drop of oil leaked anywhere. Owner claimed the eng. had been rebuilt. Has factory A/C, BUT, the condenser coil, all connecting hoses and tubing, and compressor, are missing! Go figure.

My question is: How can one go about replacing the condenser? Hoses and comp. are fairly easy, I think.

Thanks for lookin'! impish

Edit: Couple more pics!

 

Wow! That's a fantastic find. I'll try and write it up later if that's okay with you and hopefully we'll get some answers to your questions too!

best,

Everything's OK with me! Thank you for the words of confidence! Not a particularly common writer here, but I do have lots which I can contribute.

(Trying to add a pic of the engine which will be going into the Ranchero, but my photo host is being uncooperative; will try later). impish

Edit: Now, it's later.....



It's my last one! Bought (6) from Ford Motorsport in 1996, they were excess production for '95 Mustangs, Ford sold them off at $2195 each. Look at how complete they were, brand new from the factory, even came with flywheel and clutch attached, plus bell housing!

The translation of the punchline in the Brazilian F-100 Ad would be more accurately translated as: PENSE FORTE PENSE FORD = THINK TOUGH, THINK FORD.

P.S.: I also think the article link is messed up, I think you need to fix that and have those post moved to the proper thread.

 

I appreciate your input and feedback.

Best,

Ed
