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 V 8 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.
RESTORED FORD RANCHERO/TORINO PICKUP V 8 351 c CLEVELAND. MOT UNTIL APRIL 2017 NO ADVISORIES. TAX EXEMPT DUE TO YEAR 1971.

THE BODY IS LASER STRAIGHT (IT IS).
(HE WROTE) :- HERE IS A SHORT SUMMARY OF WORK CARRIED OUT.

BODY

THE BODY HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED BY A CLASSIC CAR WORKSHOP TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD. (I SAY IT HAS. ERY STRAIGHT).
RUST FREE (I CANNOT SEE ANY RUST).
FULLY UNDERCOATED PICK UP BED WITH HEAVY DUTY SPECIALIST PAINT.
BODY PAINTED USING TOP OF THE RANGE "HOUSE OF COLOR" 2 STAGE PAINT AND MATT LACQUER (GIVES A SILKY SHEEN) FOR A TRUE CUSTOM MUSCLE CAR LOOK. (IT IS A FANTASTIC PAINT JOB THAT I DO NOT WANT TO SCRAPE ON THE GARAGE ENTRANCE).
SPORTS MIRRORS UPGRADE. NEW TONNEAU COVER. NEW LEATHER ROOF TOP LINER (NO BUMPS OR LUMPS UNDERNEATH THE LINER IT IS A REALLY NICE PROFESSIONAL JOB).
RE-CHROMED BUMPERS. HOWEVER EXTERIOR CHROME TRIMS HAVE A SLIGHT PITTING. (MY LAST CAR A 1970 FORD MUSTANG HAD EXACTLY THE SAME THING THROUGH AGE AND NOT REALLY THAT NOTICEABLE).

ENGINE

RESTORED ORIGINAL SHAKER/RAM AIR.
NEW AIR CON PUMP. NEW WATER PUMP GASKET. NEW THERMOSTAT. HOLLEY PERFORMANCE CARBURETTOR. NEW LEADS.
ENGINE HAS 140-150 PSI COMPRESSION ON EVERY CYLINDER.
55-60 PSI OIL PRESSURE WHEN HOT WHICH IS VERY GOOD FOR A 45 YEAR OLD ENGINE.

INTERIOR

ALL ORIGINAL IN GREAT CONDITION.
INNER ROOF LINER IN PERFECT CONDITION. DOOR CARDS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. GOOD CARPET. GOOD DASHBOARD.

CHASSIS/DRIVE TRAIN

C 4 GEARBOX HAD FULL REFURB IN 2006 ONLY COVERED 8000 MILES SINCE. NEW SPRINGS. 4 NEW TYRES. ALL NEW FRONT BUSHINGS. BALL JOINTS AND 2 NEW WISHBONES/FRONT SPRING MOUNTS.
NEW FRONT BRAKE DISCS AND REAR SHOES.
FULL POWER STEERING CONTROL. VALVE REBUILD FOR STEERING.
NO EXPENSE SPARED IN THIS METICULOUS RESTORATION OF THIS FORD PICKUP MUSCLE CAR.
SHE COMES WITH PAPERWORK. RECEIPTS. INVOICES FOR PARTS. V 5 PRESENT (LOGBOOK).
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 V 8 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!!
