The story
I just picked up this 1978 Ranchero 500 from long time Family friends that have owned it since new and used it for a parts runner for the family auto repair/smog testing business. Overall it is in good shape. It will just need some minor rust repair and a repaint as it has been sitting in the ocean air for a while. Plans are for rolling on a Rust-Oleum Gloss Sunburst Yellow and Gloss Black on the lower panels. — Trikar
