We never see a Ranchero that nice here in this rust belt, this one doesn`t seem to have alot rust from these photos. Plus it`s shiny so I`d certainly be interested in a closer look if it was closer by.

 

70-71 would be my dream one
72-76

 

1957 is a good year

 

'57's are nice, but I'm partial to the '59's.

 

My dad had a '72 Ranchero GT with the 351 4V Cleveland; metallic medium green with a yellow stripe on the side and flat black accents on the hood.

I drove it some (teenage hooligan style) when I was in high school in the early '90's.

After he passed away it traded hands a few times, and is now owned by my sister and her husband, in a state of partial restoration/partial *******ization after a stint in the hands of my misanthropic uncle.

I've got a ton of fond memories of that 'car' going back to my earliest memories at 3 or 4 years old, so for me, a '72 is the only year that matters.

 

i like the 70 best. now i have a 71.

 

My favorite has to be the 77-79's but I am a tad partial to them, but after seeing the one in hotrod mag that they did the trip with I am falling in love with the 68 model real quick.

 

My favorite would be '73. My first car ever was a '74 but the '73 is the same style but before they dialed back the HP for emmisions. I like the falcon rancheros too but I'm a big guy and I need big vehicles.

 

Favorite is tough. All the years have their fine points. I would have to say 1972. Let's say GT with a Q-code, 4-speed and Ram Air. Dark blue with the silver laser stripe and black interior. Maybe I am getting a little too specific? Of course I am partial! I also really like the 1971's.

 

71 Definately 71
