1965 Ford Falcon Ranchero

In 1960 the Ranchero became much smaller based on Ford's compact Falcon specifically the two-door sedan delivery variant. The popularity of small economical cars like the Volkswagen Beetle perpetuated a shift in thinking among the three largest American manufacturers; 1959 had the introduction of the 1960 Falcon along with the 1960 Chevrolet Corvair and Plymouth Valiant. A pickup version of the Volkswagen Bus and a van based on the Chevrolet Corvair were offered as well. The economic recession ...of the late 1950s also certainly played a role. Ford believed the market wanted a more practical vehicle one much smaller lighter and cheaper than a full-sized pickup truck and indeed the Ranchero sold well in this incarnation. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1965 Ford Falcon Ranchero for consideration. This little sporty Ranchero is currently in the hands of the second owner who purchased it back in the mid 70's from the original owner that was located in California. It received some restoration work over the years which included a new paint job in 1995 and a new 302 motor put in in the late 80's. As mentioned this vehicle is powered by a 302 cubic inch V8 motor that turns over and runs silky smooth it is paired with a 4-speed manual transmission which also seems to be free of any issues. This car is itching for someone to put in a bit of elbow grease and take this vehicle to the next level or just cruise around the town as it sits.
