Cars from the late 70s, in particular, saw major downsizing due to the shift in customer taste and the oil crisis, but a few dinosaurs chugged along regardless of the change. The Ford LTD II was one of those vehicles, and in retrospect, the LTD is one of Ford's largest vehicles ever made. The car we have today was based on the Ford LTD II and is a true automotive legend; present today is a 1979 Ford Ranchero GT with a reported 106,774 miles on the clock.
Exterior and Interior
The seventh generation of the Ford Ranchero was the last hurrah to an automotive legend. To commemorate the occasion, the last generation was to be based on the mighty Ford LTD II. This 1979 Ford Ranchero GT sports a funky orange exterior with a custom "GT" livery. The exterior is in great shape, with the current owner reporting that the bed liner has been sprayed. The car doesn't follow the typical custom route and features factory styling, and to pay ode to that, this uber cool Ranchero GT sits on a set of factory Ford hubcaps which are reportedly wrapped with fresh tires. Whether you choose to cruise on by or haul stuff around, the cream/tan interior on this 1979 Ford Ranchero GT ensures a smooth ride feel and comfort only found in cars from the 70s. This car has seen some miles and doesn't pretend to fit in. While it might not be factory fresh, the interior present in this car is complete and sports a level of patina that makes you appreciate its journey. Features like the factory steering wheel and the Ranchero GT insignia present on the dashboard showcases originality, and the reported functioning air conditioning just makes life behind the wheel all that better.
Engine
With great size comes greater power and ensuring this 1979 Ford Ranchero GT powers along without a hiccup is a 351ci (5.8L) V8 powertrain. The 351 is one of three motors offered with Ranchero and if you ever feel like you need more power, you are greeted by an aftermarket community geared to make your Ranchero go faster. The V8 motor sees an aftermarket exhaust to breathe more freely and power is sent to the car's rear wheels through an automatic transmission.
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 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.
The Ford F-150 is already one of America’s most recognizable pickups, but this 2022 Ford F-150 Shelby takes the familiar platform in a much more serious direction. Showing 45,615 miles, this truck combines a well-equipped Lariat-based F-150 with an extensive Shelby American performance package. Its centerpiece is a supercharged 5.0L V8 tuned to produce 775 horsepower, backed by a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. Shelby also transformed the chassis and appearance with a BDS suspension lift, Fox shocks, 22-inch Shelby wheels, bodywork, graphics, and a long list of Shelby-specific details. The limited-edition numbered plate identifies this example as #22ST0086.
Few vintage 4x4s have the enthusiast following of the first-generation Ford Bronco, and this 1971 Ford Bronco Restomod takes that classic formula in a decidedly performance-oriented direction. Showing approximately 2,242 miles, this build combines a 302ci Ford Racing crate V8 with a Holley 570 CFM Street Avenger 4-barrel carburetor, a 3-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel drive. Finished in Wimbledon White and Guardsman Blue with dual Blue stripes, it also features James Duff suspension, Dana 44 and Ford 9-inch axle hardware, Warn locking hubs, roadster-style doors, a family-style roll cage, and a long list of custom audio and trim upgrades. The result is a Bronco that retains its unmistakable early off-road character while incorporating the mechanical and aesthetic touches enthusiasts look for in a thoughtfully executed restomod.
The 2017 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake is what happens when one of America’s most familiar full-size pickups is handed over to Shelby and turned into something far more outrageous. Showing approximately 43,139 miles, this Oxford White SuperCrew pairs the comfort and practicality of a heavily optioned Lariat with a Shelby-engineered 750 HP supercharged 5.0L V8, making it a truck that can haul, cruise, and deliver genuine muscle-car levels of attitude. The transformation goes well beyond the engine, with 22-inch Shelby Retro chrome wheels, a lowered Shelby suspension, functional ram-air hood, full-body rally stripes, unique Shelby bodywork, and a tuned Borla exhaust all contributing to its unmistakable presence. Inside, Shelby registry details are joined by desirable factory equipment such as Equipment Group 502A, the Technology Package, adaptive cruise control, and a twin-panel moonroof. It is the kind of truck that combines everyday usability with the theater and exclusivity enthusiasts expect from the Shelby name.
