You can guess what Ford’s Ranchero is meant to do, based on its name. The original description of Ford vehicles in this segment and body style, called the Coupe Utility, was to carry a load of pigs to market during the week, and the family to church on the weekend. The Coupe Utility is also what’s known as a ‘ute’ in Australia. What’s the difference between a Coupe Utility and a pickup truck? Well, with the Coupe Utility, the cabin and open rear bed are smoothly integrated, until the separate construction of a pickup truck. Coupe Utilities are typically adapted from a model’s Station Wagon, or Estate variant, as is the case of the Ford Ranchero, when it debuted in 1957 and was based on the 1957 Ford family of models. This 1971 Ford Ranchero is from the fifth generation, and bears just 76,000 miles since new.
An eye catching Grabber Yellow paintwork, punctuated by a yellow-to-red gradient strip running along either side, and five-spoke black and chrome alloy wheels wearing Cooper Cobra tires are what define this 1971 Ford Ranchero. It’s a sure-fire head turner. The chromework is retained and looks in pristine order judging by the photos. The black hood with broad air intake adds some contrast, as do the double headlamps. Badging also tells us that this is a GT spec variant. Inside, you’ll find a very Seventies interior with brown dash, and two brown leather seats. All original fitments appear to be in place, including the climate control panel, and push-button radio with what appears to be an 8-track player further down. You’ll also find well-trimmed door cards, metal kickplates with Ford logos, and a neat automatic gearshift with lighted indicators for gear selected. The steering wheel is another curio, with a two-spoked, slightly boomerang shaped rim connecting the thin-rimmed wheel to the column. Looking further, we can also see lap belts for the seats.
The fifth generation Ranchero offered four engine choices in its two years of production, and this 1971 Ford Ranchero is reported to pack a 351ci Cleveland V8. This is the H-code, 2V carburetor version, which is lower performance, but designed for better reliability. You’re looking at around 250hp of power, and 355lb-ft of torque when it was new. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a Ford C6 three-speed automatic transmission, a sturdy and long-lasting unit.
The Ford Ranchero is a curio that resulted when Ford decided to marry a coupe with a pickup truck. Debuting in 1957, the Ranchero wanted to give car buyers a pickup truck experience without compromising on comforts and amenities. Hence, the Ranchero was well-received and produced until 1979 across seven generations. This particular 1972 Ford Torino Ranchero GT is reportedly one of just two from over 500,000 that comes optioned with the Ranchero GT Pack, 351 V8, C-6 autobox, air conditioning, black vinyl roof, blue vinyl seats, and more. Snap it up before it goes, as you won't easily find sixth-generation Rancheros with under 35,000 miles for sale.
Let's take a nostalgic journey back to the 1950s when the concept of the coupe utility first saw the light of day.

What was once a pragmatic mode of transportation transformed into sporty variants, capable of thundering down the drag strip. Today, we present a striking 1972 Ford Ranchero, a true American classic, meticulously customized with over $40,000 worth of receipts, showcasing the remarkable evolution of this beloved classic.

The fifth generation Ford Mustang marked a major leap over the fourth generation. Debuting for the 2005 model year, it came with new retro-modern styling that really harked back to the very first generation of Ford’s popular pony car. Under the skin, the Mustang received fresh engineering, including a new platform which really elevated its driving experience as a result. Today, the earliest examples of the fifth generation will have turned, or be turning twenty years old, and soon, they’ll be classics. That’s why you shouldn’t miss your chance to get your hands on one, and we’ve got a nice 16,300-mile 2005 Ford Mustang GT Premium Convertible from Naples, Florida for your consideration. With a few tasty bits and a nice surprise under the hood, this is a car that you’ll really cherish owning and driving.
Arguably the most popular pickup truck in the United States, the Ford F-Series is spearheaded by the F-150 half-ton variant. You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t heard of the F-150, even in passing. Of course, there are some aftermarket tuners who get their hands on Ford’s signature hit, and make it even more tasty. Case In Point: this thirteenth-generation 2017 Ford F-150 XLT Supercrew Roush from Johnson City, Tennessee. Roush is an aftermarket tuning outfit that’s well-known for their madcap Mustangs, but they also extend their attention and skills to other Ford products too, like the F-150. This particular truck has covered 128,512 miles so far, showcasing that even though it’s highly tuned, it can still be used as a daily commuter with ease.
When you see the iconic Shelby branding and cobra motif on a Mustang, you know that the outfit formed by the legendary Carroll Shelby has been working their magic. For decades, Shelby Mustangs have ruled the tracks and drag strips, showing what a Mustang can be turned into when given suitable performance modifications. Shelby works with Ford and hence you can consider these to be factory-endorsed machines. In fact, the fifth generation, from which this 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible hails, was sold by Ford. This car has got only 9,000 miles on it, making it a superb buy for a Mustang aficionado. It’s also a fantastic future investment and a definitive classic in years to come.
