Build story
I acquired the Ranchero this past August, the video was taken immediately after taking delivery. The car currently has a 302 of unknown origin mated to a 3 speed automatic (presumably a C4, but have not verified) along with the factory 9" rear end with a 3.25 peg leg diff. The car spent most of its life in Oregon and Tennessee, before I found it for sale in Michigan. I am currently in the process of a mechanical restoration of the wear and tear components, the body/paint will not be touched. Once the car is roadworthy once again, I plan on driving the living daylights out of it. I feel extremely fortunate and grateful to have had the opportunity to revive this car and get it back on the road where it belongs.
