1969 ford ranchero GT
Ok i want to see what kind of feedback this generates.
The car has a 351c with a 4 speed auto tranny.
has a/c but i doubt it works. Has power steering that works.
A bit of history.
My father did a full ground up restoration on this thing back in the late
80's. I have included a few pics of it when he got it.
in '94 he sold it and hadn't seen it after that for the next decade. I ended up running across it back in '05 sitting behind someones home. Asking the current owner if he was interested in selling it, he was.
I bought it back and gave it to my father for x-mas. After recieving it he found another car he wanted a little more and gave me this back.
The past decade has not been too kind to it. It will need a full rebuild again as the body is going. The truck still runs strong.
I do also have 4 new monroe struts for it and the rear end was rebuilt by the guy i bought it from. also have a new air filter and new valve covers.
I hardly ever drive it as there are some things wrong with it.
The tires are the exact same ones my father put on it back in the 80's so the tread is seperating. No leaks from the tires.
(vvvThis issue is now fixed as of 4/13vvvv)
Another issue is there is a short or loose wire somewhere from the alt. to the battery as the battery never charges. The truck runs completely off the battery. The alt is brand new. There are so few wires this should not be hard to track down. I just have too many other cars to worry about this one right now.
I have put mabye 400 miles on it in the last 3 years.
I'm asking $4000 obo
this is how she sits now
