    There was a write up on the history of that Ranchero somewhere. It seems to me it was rear ended. There is/was a picture of it with slicks and the bed cut off behind the tires.

    I am pretty sure Brad Masterson built a clone of the first version. while some may complain about the second version, aren't you glad it got saved so to speak as opposed to scrapping it??

    I am... and I could be wrong, but I think I read long ago that it was eventually turned into a drag car? I am at the Vet and can't search, but I remember Rod Powell telling me about it...

    here is the Kustomrama page. It is still around, needing restoration. it looks like it was a drag car between version 1 and 2

    The first version is Slick and would be in any colors. OK, #2, let’s take the drag theme a little further by adding a straight front axle with littles mounted on 15”chromies, 6-2s on the engine of your choice, appropriate color plexi windows, 10.00-15 ww slicks on black steelies and 8 pipes out back ala the Speed Sport roadster. Oh, almost forgot, gotta have 4 speeds and non-swiveling seats!
