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.
Exterior and Interior
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.

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.
