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.
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.
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.

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.

The station wagon obsession has a really peculiar fan base that we truly enjoy. It makes sense—you can fit your family and dog inside and still have the same level of performance as a regular car. People who are fascinated by station wagons even convert popular vehicles into them. The Ford Country Squire is not a conversion, but a factory model that saw eight generations from 1950 through the 1991 model years. We bring you an example from the fifth generation of this classic that users like to describe as an absolute unit. This 1962 Ford Country Squire is a reliable oldie, which has tastefully been left with its original patina charm, it also carries new and upgraded components.
The second-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C2) is where the legendary Corvette inherited its sharp lines and looks that are still used to this day. This new design over the first-generation Corvette did not only present itself with a spectacular view but also newfound handling prowess. The new lighter body meant this convertible found more acceleration than its predecessor, even though the power remained the same and the new suspension significantly improved handling. All the 1963 cars came out with 372 ci engines, making 250 horsepower as standard, with optional variants like this particular restored model we have for you today, which can produce a whopping 340 horsepower. All this excitement for the second-generation Corvette resulted in an increase of 50% in units built compared to the then-record-setting 1962 version. This made the C2 an automotive icon of the past and present. We’re told that this 1963 convertible American beauty, for sale in Rosamond, California, has only done less than 1000 miles on the odometer after restoration. The current owner also reports that the numbers are matching for the motor and transmission, however documentation cannot be provided.
The Chevrolet Impala has played the role of the Bowtie’s flagship full-size car for years. Produced over ten generations, the Impala was first introduced in 1957. Named after the eponymous African antelope, the first generation was strictly a two-door affair. Buyers could choose a coupe or convertible. If you’d like to own a classic Impala but with a bit more pep up and go, this 1958 Chevrolet Impala is a worthy contender. The car comes with an upgraded engine, but remains otherwise stock as far as possible. That makes it a lovely classic car to own and drive, but something to surprise other classics with when the mood strikes.
Chevy’s El Camino is iconically known for its coupe utility body style. Basically, the coupe utility combines the ride comfort and handling of a car’s monocoque construction with the versatility of a pickup truck. Adapted from a Chevy two-door station wagon, the El Camino appeared in 1959, to compete with Ford’s Ranchero. Five generations of El Camino were made until 1987 when the nameplate was quietly retired. If you’ve always been intrigued by this pastiche of coupe and pickup truck, consider picking up this 1980 Chevrolet El Camino as your next classic. This 53,500-mile example comes to you with all maintenance reportedly up to date, so it’s basically a buy-and-drive classic.
