WHEELBASE 116”- To the best of my knowledge vehicle was originally from Innisfail Alberta, later to Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. Now in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Lots done to this Ranchero in the last 2 years bumper to bumper. Frame was excellent and had previously been undercoated. Box floor was overall very good. There is a 1/8” deep indentation in left fender just above and in front of the real wheel. Otherwise, body is pretty straight. Roof has a few dimples. Drip rails are excellent. Overall chrome is quite good. Interior well done. New headliner and new rubber door seals. Rear bumper has a slight bit of peeling (hardly noticeable). Runs & drives nicely (likely better than new). A few on the market but not many with all these upgrades. It's solid and dependable. STRENGTHS: • FRAME IS VERY GOOD- NOT COMMON FOR THIS ERA • BODY, ROCKER PANELS, FENDERS OVERALL VERY GOOD- NOT COMMON FOR THIS ERA • BOX IS OVERALL VERY GOOD • INTERIOR COMPLETELY PROFESSIONALLY REDONE • DRIVETRAIN IS SOLID • POWER STEERING AND POWER FRONT DISC BRAKES MAKE IT A PLEASURE TO DRIVE. • WORKING CLOCK. RADIO NEEDS REPAIR BUT LIKELY NOTHING SERIOUS.
WEAKNESSES: • PAINT IS OLDER, SOME CRACKS. EXCELLENT DRIVER QUALITY. • STARTER MISSES ONCE IN A WHILE. • WINDSHIELD HAS CRACK ON SIDE WRAP AROUND (does not affect vision and passed inspection) (I have a line on a new one). • FLOOR HAS BEEN PATCHED ON BOTH SIDES, BUT WAS WELL DONE AND IS SOLID. OTHER: • 19.7 MPG ON 1,000 MILE TEST RUN. USED JUST OVER ½ LITRE OF OIL. MAINTAINED 50 PSI OIL PRESSURE AND 175 DEGREES. • SPARE TIRE WELL IS GOOD. 15” SPARE (DOES NOT FIT IN SPARE TIRE WELL). A 14” WOULD FIT FINE AND BE FULLY SERVICEABLE. • WE BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SHELTERED IN A GARAGE. (SUMMERTIME IN OUR CARPORT). • THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A GOOD LIFE AND WILL SERVE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. IT'S NOT PERFECT, BUT FAR ABOVE AVERAGE. WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN VALUE. • FUN TO DRIVE. WHY DRIVE NEW BORING STUFF LOL? SHOWS 68,700 MILES (REASON FOR SELLING IS ILLNESS) $29,900 US (43,000 CDN) OBO. WILL ASSIST WITH US IMPORTATION. NO SCAMMERS- NO HELP IN SELLING PREFER FACE TO FACE DEALS. PLEASE PHONE THREE ZERO SIX 960-845 TWO
