New Members ( Introduce Yourself)

Yes I will. I am working on a '64 Thunderbolt replica for a friend, but I am afraid it won't be ready in time, so I will probably be bringing my '66. I am judging the '72-'76 class.

I believe I met you at the Cinncinnati FCA show. I know Marc Gelfand and Anthony Lucarz.

 

just picked up this 67

Welcome, and stay safe over there so you can get yourself back to your family and your Ranchero.

 

HI ! my name is Ron, I live in Virginia Beach. I have a 79 Ranchero, 351m, i have only had it a little over a year, i bought it in California and drove it here. The body seems to be in good shape, a few minor dings here and there. The car seems complete with the exception of the right front blinker. I am currently trying to re-build the car. But i am on a very limited budget. I am going to remove the a/c and cc, as well as the smog stuff. This is the first time i have torn into a car this far. only time will tell the outcome! I look forward to being able to use some of the tech posts that are on this site. and i am sure i will have many questions. so.. in advance, thank you!

 

Welcome aboard...

A bunch of nice folks here, I am sure your questions will get responses, even the crazy ones have merit. Welcome...

 

Hey Ron. Welcome to the board neighbor,, Where are you at in VB? ,, I'm over in Timberlake off S Independence.

 

Even YOUR crazy ones, I'm sure you meant.
Welcome.

 

I am out at Pine Meadows, near Dam Neck

 

Cool. Maybe I'll run into you some time..Right now I am in the process of rebuilding my motor after breaking a stock rod at 6K that destroyed a lot of hardware when it wentl

 

1975 Ranchero 500 from Krautland

copy and paste from Ford Ranchero Club because there i was able to post first...

but this has to be right here:

hi

not the first oldie, but the first ranchero for us.
he came to germany at the end of 2008 from california and stayed until now only two streets away from us which we dont know. but now he is ours.

at this time he gets a mild resto to prepare it for the german technical supervision association to bring him legal on the streets. not a simple task. germany...

351cui with a FMX behind it. silver/blue (original white/blue. paintjob in 2006 in calif.)

i hope i can answer some technical questions (i think so) but i hope also i can get some answers for the questions of mine.

and sorry for my english. i'm working on it...to get it better.

Welcome Moster, you will enjoy this site.

 

Hello! I have a "new" 1969 ranchero GT

Hi all! My name is Tony and I recently aquired a 1969 Ranchero GT. I was checking out Craigslist back in February and saw an ad for a 1969 Ranchero GT. I worked out the payment with the guy and when I got it shipped, the shipper called and tried to buy it off me. No rust through (california car) and mostly original. It has the original 390 GT with C6 trans. Original factory Candy Apple Red paint with white stripes and dark red interior. It had been sitting for awhile. I am working on it now and have it running and the brakes done. It has power drum brakes...I was told this was a dealer option. Unfortunately, someone turned in the original black plates. Thank God that we can now do YOM plates to 1972 for commercial and I happen to have an old set laying around. I have a question though about production numbers for 1969. Most people say the are around 1,6XX ranchero GTs made and 727 bucket seat rachero GTs. Are the 727 bucket cars in addition to the 16xx bench seat cars, or are they part of it? If they are separate, than the total 1969 Ranchero GT production is actually around 2500 units.

 

Thanks Dan

I will have to post some to an online photo archive and get them up. I look forward to seeing alot of great rancheros and meeting good people here!

 

Hey all! I am new to the site and Rancheros in general. I just picked up a 1973 Ranchero 500 with a 351C and C6 auto for $1200. It runs great, but it needs a little bit of body work and the interior is trashed. I have new carpet already, I plan on making the headliner from scratch. I have already put in a plasti-kote bedliner and new light bulbs all the way around the exterior. The paint and body work will be coming later this summer.
