About the 1966–1971 Ford Ranchero
from the generation archive
The 1966–1971 Fairlane/Torino Ranchero captures that sweet spot where Ford merged muscle-era styling with genuine utility — and the builds here prove owners aren't just parking them. From weathered beds showing decades of honest use and rear windows with original markings to chrome-loaded engine bays with custom hoses and classic examples turning heads at outdoor shows, these pages document the Ranchero life as it's actually lived.
The story
I bought this Ranchero out of a salvage yard in Las Vegas in 1986. The motor had the heads removed and placed in the back. The body is in decent shape. I have not touched it much since then, it's been on the back burner. Now it has been placed on the front burner. I have been working on a ground up restoration for the last few months. My goal is to complete it by Christmas 2009. I have sand blasted the underside and painted it with two coats of POR-15 and two coats of chassis black paint. I have replaced almost every part of both the front and rear suspension, including brakes and steering parts. I have painted the engine bay and replaced all the wiring. I'm looking at installing the engine and tranny soon. More to come. — jimmy_jet
