Description

This vehicle is a 1970 Ford Ranchero GT, ith a factory 429 ci big block motor, acked by a C6 automatic transmission. It comes with a Marti report confirming that the vehicle came with a factory installed big block motor. The interior has been restored in the past with the installation of an aftermarket white interior, hat presents well. The seat belts are missing from the car. The Vin # is 0R48N14920x, ndicating that the vehicle left the factory as a 1970 Ranchero GT with a 429 ci/360 hp motor.
The exterior has been finished in a medium blue, ith new GT side stripes, nd the hood with it's massive scoop, inished in flat black. It has factory 14" wheels with chrome trim rings and center caps. Tires were new several years ago, o miles on them, owever, urrent condition is unknown.
When I bought the car around 2010, drove it home and discovered it was by far the fastest car I had ever driven. It would burn rubber for as long as you wanted (quite impressive). I took it to my local vintage ford mechanic, nd asked him to tune it up, hange the oil, heck the dealer installed under dash a/c unit and charge it if needed. The boss told a new employee perform the work on the car, nd left work for the day. The new employee removed the under dash a/c unit altogether and chucked in the trashcan! He then commenced doing tire burnouts in front of the shop, ntil the engine had spun one or more of the cam bearings from oil starvation.When the car was picked up you could hear the top end bearings, nd the engine had lost a good deal of power.It was clear that a rebuild was required before driving the car further. The engine was not started again after limping the car home from the shop. The car has been parked inside and outside for the past five years. The vehicle has a small amount of rust just behind the gutters that surround the door glass. The bed appears to be rust-free.
