Description

You will never see this come across again... truly uniquely built 1957 Ford Ranchero 4x4

it was the owners dad's dream and he bought the body in Las Vegas back in 1985. Body is mounted on a 1978 Ford F250 ¾ ton 4x4 chassis. Candy Apply Red and Wimbledon White, pretty close to old factory colors, applied 3 years ago. Have only driven 400 miles and just not driving enough for me to keep it in the garage.

This is one very nice driving / running / looking unique vehicle that turns a lot of heads, many thumbs up and people taking pictures. A nice balance of new and old with the design having all the basics electric wipers, power steering, power brakes, etc. Plus, much more

Engine 428 10-1 compression 450 hp estimated +/- 25hp
