    That's a great classic car!
    -one that you'd want to take out and enjoy driving on a nice, sunny day!

    This is such a great example! The trim is in unbelievable condition, as is the interior - real highlights on this Ranchero.

    Falcon Ranchero was good. Worked well for small projects. Put a 302 4 bbl under the hood and you win.

    I remember the day I bought that car from the old man on Facebook. It does rumble a little bit from the aftermarket dual exhaust.

      Where was he located? For a six, it does have a nice sound out the exhaust.

    In the 1964 James Bond movie, "Goldfinger," the villain's Korean henchman, Odd Job, used a Ranchero to recover the crushed cube of a Lincoln Continental. Although not the biggest stretch of imagination in the film, the viewer was led to believe that a 4,927 pound car, containing an unfortunate, 200 pound American gangster, could be easily transported in the Ranchero with no visual suspension strain. The third movie of the series also featured more of Ford's 1964 lineup, including a Country Squire (woody) station wagon, a T-Bird and the recently introduced Mustang. While the Aston-Martin DB5 stole the show, the film also introduced the new Piper Cherokee line of aircraft and spotlighted an emerging business jet fascination with a Lockheed Jetstar.

      Cool info. Loved that movie, when "Bond was Bond", also the cute girl I took on a date, in my 55 Ford Ranch Wagon, to see it open at Grumman's Chinese theater in Hollywood, way back in the day!! LOL ;D

      @@ronschlorff7089 My aunt had a '55 Ford station wagon. I remember the folding rear seats and the tailgate. Then she got a '57 Ford wagon with the bigger taillights and speedometer. A '60 Dodge wagon followed and the tailgate window rolled down rather than lifted up. Her next two cars, following her divorce, were a '62 Pontiac Catalina convertible and a '66 Pontiac GTO. I'm thinking maybe the wagons weren't all her ideas.🤔 I was old enough to drive the Pontiacs and may have inadvertently set a single-wheel, tire-fire record with the GTO.🤫

      @@decay21450 yup, the old cars were great, and you could recognize a specific make and model a block away, or, by your description of them here just now. So, folks tell me the difference, without looking, between a new Nissan and a Honda SUV, eh? LOL ;D

    One of my uncles had a Ranchero it was a great car. Ford did not put the marketing effort into it that Chevy did with the Ranchero. Ford was busy with developing a little something called the Mustang.
