A practical classic is almost alien-like - it's two words that rarely go together. Turn back the clock a few decades to a time when creativity trumped commercial connectivity, and what you got was exactly that, a miracle: a way for the words "practical" and "class" to share the same floor space. Present today is an example of practical classic car ownership, taking shape with this 1979 Ford Ranchero. With just a reported 34,500 miles on its clock, this all American muscle is a true survivor from its time and makes for the perfect foundation to kickstart a complete factory resto or even be kept as is and treasure its originality and patina.
The Ranchero brought the best of both worlds: the aggressiveness of muscle cars of the time, combined with the practicality of a small truck. This 1979 Ford Ranchero sports a burgundy exterior and truly dwells in its 70s-esque personality. A walk around this behemoth of a machine reveals GT stickering finished in silver, running across the car, with all its chrome shining out, and a truck bed ready to haul stuff around. For wheels, the American Racing styled wheels add a touch of sportiness and give just the right stance this classic American needs. The 70s burgundy theme continues to the interior of this 1979 Ford Ranchero as well. Step in and you are treated to a clean exterior that blends in wood trim and originality to perfection. You even get a period-correct Motorola sound player in place for added original appeal.
Whether it's a sunset cruise, a trip to your local Cars and Coffee, or hauling stuff around in style, the 302 V8 under the hood of this 1979 Ford Ranchero ensures you're taken care of with its classic V8 rumble and reliability. A closer look at the engine bay provides more proof of this machine's journey - it doesn't pretend to be a museum showpiece, but it's functional and delivers smiles per gallon. In terms of power delivery, this classic American channels all its performance to its rear wheels through an automatic transmission.

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. These vehicles were a fusion of muscle car spirit and practical utility, catering to a wide array of customer preferences. Over the years, the concept evolved into iconic models like the Ford Ranchero, which gained immense popularity. 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.
First generation Ford Mustangs are some of the most popular first-time classic cars around. Think we’re mistaken? Well, based on the amount of them that we’ve shifted, we beg to differ. With well over 2.5 million first-gen ‘Stangs created, there’s definitely no shortage of them around. You’ve got six or eight-cylinder power, three alluring body styles to pick from, and manual or automatic transmissions. So, choosing a first-generation Mustang is really down to your specific tastes and desires. Today’s example is a 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible from Portland, Oregon. It’s got a 302ci V8 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, and also rocks an aftermarket radio. So do let us know if you’d like to own this sub-36,000 mile pony.
The Ford Model A of 1927 to 1931 was the follow-up to Ford’s famous Model T, that had revolutionized mobility across the world, as well as laid the foundations for many of the automotive industry’s assembly line and mass standardization practices. Many of those advances are still in use today. So, the Model A had a pretty lofty reputation to continue, and it admirably did so. Despite just five model years, over 4.8 million were made, across various body styles. The Model A also came with the standard pedal arrangement for manual transmission-equipped vehicles that we know today, unlike the Model T’s unconventional control layout. Today’s 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Hot Rod is quite different from a regular Model T, though. Well, for starters it only has two pedals because this machine packs a 3-speed automatic gearbox. That’s not all, there’s a 350ci V8 under the hood, a custom paint job, and under 15,000 miles on the clock since this machine got an extensive do-over. If you’d like to acquire this funky hot rod, it’s currently sitting in Yorba Linda, California.
Ford’s Focus isn’t that popular in America. It’s more of a European hero in the compact car class, where roads are smaller, town centers are tighter and compact cars rule the roost. Here, the Focus would be considered almost too small for our larger-than-life tastes. But hang on, what about the hot variant of the Focus? Specifically, the RS? Now we’re talking, because this is a spicy turbocharged hot hatch with all-wheel drive and 350 horses to be delivered. In fact, the engine of the third generation Focus RS, which is where this 2016 Ford Focus RS for sale hails from, is directly derived from the EcoBoost unit in the sixth-generation Mustang! So if you’re interested, this 86,000-mile car is up for sale in Riverside, California. It’s a four-door, too, so family practicality is another of its strong selling points, in case you need to convince your significant other as to why this car should be in your garage or driveway.
