This was a recent barn find estate sale from my friend's father's collection. A very rare 1967 Ford Ranchero/Fairlane 500. a very strong and impressive HP 390 engine out of a 1968 Mercury Cyclone (FE block). The top loader 4sp makes this car even more enjoyable to drive, but the 9 inch posi rear puts the icing on the cake when you punch it because this car has balls! (unknown ratio, most likely mid 3's) Was told by previous owner car was restored in the mid 90's and has been sitting since the late 90's. Spend several months going through the car after its long nap, a recent tune up was performed, some new gaskets installed, Edlebrock carb was replaced, as well as fuel pump, fuel tank & sending unit. Exhaust is still like new with a crossover pipe and is not loud, tires are like new as well. Paint is shiny and appears to be a single stage urethane with some minor chips and scratches. (still shows well). Interior is in excellent shape with only one minor tear in driver side seat (easy repair). The mileage showing is 67,541 but obviously the engine was replaced so I'm not sure of true mileage on engine, but it's very tight still and does not smoke. Milelage may go up since the car is still being driven occasionally on nice days. From what I am told it wasn't driven much after the restoration and from what I found did confirm that. The inside of the bed is excellent, with no rust holes. The body is very solid as well. You're not going to get into a "turn key", "restored", big block, 4 Speed car cheaper than this! This car is very fun to drive, and very fast! I would love to keep it, but I unfortunately have no place to store it with two other current restorations occupying my garage. Though it is not perfect, it certainly would make a excellent driver or even a great car for weekend shows. Clear title (in my name) in hand. Car will be advertised in other venues as well.

Hello folks, apparently I forgot to mention in my ad if you have a feedback score of less than 5, I would request that you contact me prior to bidding. It is very expensive to list here and only fair to the other potential buyers and myself that you do so. Thank you for understanding. Best of luck to everyone and God bless.
