Ranchero's: Let's See Them, I'll Start

RF....I have a pic of your 57 ....at the Anti-blessing ...That Ranchero had the look.....I'll post it in the morning when I get back home........

 

Shaved, Split, Tunneled, wrapped in Satin Lavender and Dumped...

~red

 

I'm trying to jog the memory where I've seen this Rancho before....did you sell this on ebay by chance? Nice looking car man!

 

That purple '57 from Vegas is my all time favorite Ranchero. It's done just right. Subtle, not over the top. Really dig the split front bumper.
Wanted to do mine that way, but then it would just be a copy. Bastard!

 

Lownrusty, What classifieds did you see it in?

 

Here is one build a long time ago. It is now in a collection in Devils Lake ND.

 

is it "officially" plan9's car yet? man, the new hamb has sure been slacking, a year ago you woulda had a hundred guys talking about that car's previous owner! it's like he's almost been forgotten.

 

sold it-miss it

 

hey ray... its been mine for over a yr haha

$4500 is a good price, all the shit work has been done already... im guessing most people here are touched by the, "i can build it myself" bug.

 

She ain't traditional....and she ain't all that old....but I love her anyway!

 

hotwheel - are those wheels sold thru SoCal Speedshop? about how much do they run?

 

Comet,

Yeah, some Aussie bloke snatched it up. I thought I set the reserve too high, but guess he wanted it more than me...$

 

Heres my 59.
Its getting close to being my new shoptruk.
I'll get better pics when I get it outside the shop.
I'm really debating on doing it red suede on the bottom and flat black on the top.
What do you guys think?.....Shiny

 

hey shiny... i see a pretty nice red car... but not ranchero

 

I like that one.

 

shit billy id love to kruze that chero!!! looks damn nice from where im sittin

 

Kool truck...

what's that grille bar from?

 

68 Camaro rear bumper

 

Hey, that there is the first feature I wrote for Custom Rodder 12 years ago! I think Koopman shot it. Was it yours then? Damn, that brings back some pre-corporate memories!!!

 

Bttt

 

A pic of RF's Ranchero at the Anti-Blessing in Orange...........sorry about the quality...my scanner took a dump....

 

My 57 Ranchero back in 1992 at home and at Bonneville for speed week. Fordnutz

 

Here are six from the 1963 Spotlite book Custom Pickups

 

Hotwheel:

It looks bad to the bone! What size wheels are those? How'd you lower it? What year is it?

 

It's a '66. I'm running 17x7s up front and 18x8s in the rear. I bagged the rear and used and fabbed a 4-link set up.....the front is a mustang II setup with bags. Running a fuel injected 351W, 5 speed and a paxton.

 

Ahhh, now I can put a body to an interior....or something. Never seen your car til the pic Reggie, lookin sharp. I think Seans seat design and my mad skissor skillz are gonna make the inside purdy. haha, see ya

 

I rolled this back while I was in college at San Jose State until '92. I called it KowPunk. After painting the interior white, I had the panels and seat stiched in cowhide, hair on.

 

I'm more of a fan of the round bodied, but this one is done nice, real nice.

 

Can anyone tell me if that's chrome beauty rings or a polished lip? Or is it painted chromies? I love that look and I've never seen it in person before.
