1971 FORD RANCHERO/TORINO CAR/PICKUP TRUCK V8 351c CLEVELAND

HERE IS MY STUNNING FORD RANCHERO FOR SALE WITH NO RESERVE!!!
I NOTICED AFTER TAKING THE PHOTOS BIRD DROPPINGS ON THE PICTURES THEY MUST HAVE HAPPENED WHEN I FIRED UP THE V8 ENGINE AND SCARED THE BIRDS.
I HAVE NOT HAD HER LONG AND ONLY DRIVEN HER TWICE. THIS IS DUE TO THE ENTRANCE OF MY GARAGE BEING TOO NARROW TO ACCOMMODATE THIS VERY STRAIGHT CAR. SO I DO NOT WANT TO DAMAGE HER AND BECAUSE OF THIS I CANNOT USE HER SO SHE IS FOR SALE.
AS I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN HER TWICE AND DO NOT KNOW THE CAR ENOUGH. MOST OF THE DESCRIPTION IS FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER.
MY COMMENTS WILL BE IN BRACKETS.

BACK TO ME :- SO THIS IS THE PREVIOUS OWNERS DESCRIPTION. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THE CAR TWICE FOR SHORT DISTANCES DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE EASILY.
I HAD TO PUT UNLEADED PETROL INSTEAD OF SUPER UNLEADED PETROL IN THE CAR AS THE NEAREST GARAGE DID NOT HAVE SUPER UNLEADED AND SHE WAS NEARLY EMPTY. SO SHE SPLUTTERED HOME A LITTLE. ONCE THE UNLEADED PETROL IS USED UPAND SHE HAS A FULL TANK OF SUPER UNLEADED SHE SHOULD STOP THE ODD SPLUTTER. ALTHOUGH JUST RUNNING HER ENGINE IN THE GARAGE RECENTLY SHE DID NOT SEEM TO SPLUTTER.
I THINK SHE IS DUE A SERVICE AND MAYBE A CARB SERVICE. THE CARB KITS ARE AROUND £40. 00 AS I FOUND FOR MY LAST OLD AMERICAN CAR AND EASY TO OBTAIN IN THE UK.
I CANNOT GET THE CAR OUT TO USE REGULARLY. HENCE SHE IS NOW FOR SALE.
THE CAR IS A REAL BEAUTY AND HAS A NICE V8 SOUND FROM THE EXHAUSTS. SO NO HAGGLING OR DROPPING THE PRICE. AS I AM STARTING THE BIDDING PRICE THOUSANDS OF POUNDS BELOW WHAT I PAID FOR HER ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO.
SHE IS SIMPLY A STUNNER AND WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY!  NO RESERVE!!
