Details

California car from new. Phenomenal restoration of a correct car. Original 292 V8 car with automatic transmission. Upgraded Ford 302 V8 engine with dress up kit. Factory power steering and factory power brakes with fronts upgraded to disc brakes. Factory options include AM radio, heater as well as power steering and brakes. All options work correctly. The restoration was done to show standards. The body was stripped to metal and all bodywork was professionally done starting with a rust free car. The bed floor looks like new with new stainless hardware. The whole body was primed and blocked three times before using PPG urethane paint. The car was painted complete inside and out, color sanded and polished. Every piece of chrome trim and stainless were also restored and polished to show standards. The bumpers, bumper guards and grill were all re-chromed. The Ranchero hood has been louvered and antenna is frenched in on the fender giving the car a sleeker yet very original and correct look. The Ranchero has new mirrors, door handles, emblems and tail light lenses. All new interior with correct rare bull emblems on door panels. New kick panels and carpet, arm rests and rock scuff plates. It has all new tinted glass including windshield. All new rubber moldings around windows. The doors were taken apart and latches and regulators lubed and repaired. There have been hundreds of hours spent on restoration over a three year period.
