1979 Ford Ranchero User Reviews

Gramps Ride! —

Ranchero 500 - This was my grandfathers car from new, I'm the 2nd owner. Car is all original accept for a few minor changes, ie; wheels, tires, shocks and exhaust. Mileage is only 61K. Spent most of it's life sitting in gramps garage, I've had it the last 3 years and managed to put less than 1000 miles on it. When I got this car it was so original it still had the original tires on it, hence the up-grade. Had never even had a tune-up. I've since re-built the carb, complete tune-up, all the brakes, all new shocks with air in the rear to give it a cooler stance, oh and of course magna-flo dual exhaust. It sounds really good, not a huge power house but gets down the road repectably. Rides really nice, kinda like ridin on a cloud. Gets a lot of looks and thumbs up every time I have it out! I believe this is a 79 1/2 model with the all leather red interior, seats, dash and door panels, built 4/79. Car is in really great shape, not show quality, dings etc. never wrecked, but still pretty good for 30 years. Gas mileage, well you know,the price you pay for cool! Really fun with alot of sentimental value, Thanks gramps!!!

One Of The Rarest Cars I've Seen. — Good Muscle car. Fast. Needs body and engine work. Interior work as well. Not getting rid of it. Rare muscle classic.
