This 1965 Falcon Ranchero Is Ready to Go with No Reserve

Charming

It's pretty obvious that this '65 Falcon Ranchero isn't factory-fresh, but it certainly isn't in poor condition. Its signs of aging tell the story of its 55-year life and, for some, that just adds to its charm. If it's taken your fancy then you'll be happy to know it's up for auction and there's no reserve.

Drivetrain

Under the hood sits a 289 ci V8 engine, the largest engine option available for any second-generation Ranchero. This unit produces 271 horsepower and 312 lb.-ft of classic torque. All of this power runs through an automatic transmission which is operated by a sweet Hurst shifter.

Interior

The vehicle's Red and White paint job is echoed by the color scheme of its bucket seats and console. The eagle-eyed among you will also have already noticed the trick column-mounted tachometer.

Wheels

This truck rides on shiny chrome wheels that are wrapped by classic whitewall tires. The rims are immaculate and are possibly in better condition than the majority of the vehicle.
