Yea but the elite Marti report one of one Easily adds 25K to the price it makes it a ono of one Of the 858 460/C6 Ranchero GTs 6 of the light blue ones had blue bench seats and only one had power widows
This car does come with a delux Marti report showing that it is a one of one built car. This is the only Ranchero of this year with these options in the world. There are literally no other cars exactly like it!
yea but its the only light blue one with a blue split bench seat and power windows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that got to be worth $25K
That'd be worth something, if it were a Camaro, Mustang, Corvette, Challenger, Charger, even a Torino, but almost worthless for Ranchero's, Pinto's, Mavericks, et al.
Fantasy world. I would bet big money that if you ordered two identicaly equipped Fords of any body style, you could take them apart and find quite a few differences. It could boil down to simply different fasteners or irregularitys in bolt hole positions or different suppliers of various parts. Would such differences not make each vehicle a "One Of One" ? That term has ZERO meaning if you apply AACA judging rules.
Nice but not 35K nice. 10K nice "maybe" I Love my 74 ranchero but I know what it's worth and that car could still use some serous detailing (interior and engine bay) to even consider asking anywhere near that price.
Nick, hopefully you see this for what it is... no one is trying to demean or denigrate you or the vehicle. In fact, it's beautiful. But $35k for a 74 is just over the moon, out the door, not even if I won the lottery kind of stuff.
How much extra is an ELITE Marti report? I might get a couple if it will boost prices like that..Shoot, I am going to buy all of the Marti reports and put 'em in the bank..

Yeah, no, not a $25K car. First, to get good money, spend some damned money to at least clean/detail it. Second, spend some money for replacement items worn out by use and time...like a repro floormat set. Then, spend some money to arrest some of the rust (such as the rivulet of it down the left wheel well in the bed--apparently the hard cover didn't do its job well), then maybe, on the very outside...you've approached $10K. But definitely not 25K.
