      1976 Ford Ranchero 500 truck. This is an interesting vehicle, and while very familiar with Mustangs and Torinos of the era, I have never owned a Ranchero in my life.                                  One of my tenants found himself in a jam with job scheduling and needed to move to FL at the last minute and could not take the Ranchero with him, thus he left it in my care to help him sell it.  I am posting it here, to sell to the highest bidder with NO RESERVE. It is a solid truck, and it runs very well.

                    It has the standard 5.7L powertrain, powered with what I believe to be either a 351M or a 400 engine in it ( the 351C would have a "2"  or a " 4" in the upper front corner of the cylinder heads. This one does not), mated to its stock C6 automatic transmission, with stock 9" differential.

The engine runs SUPER; always starts right up, idles smoothly and gets up and goes without hesitation. Very strong motor, does not burn oil or smoke. The transmission shifts well into all forward and reverse gears, without slippage. The differential is tight, with no axle noises or ring/ pinion chatter or bearing noises.

 

          The body looks fairly straight, and it looks to have had a paint job somewhat recently. It actually looks very good. There are a couple of trim bits missing; I do not know what they are or where, so please note, the car is sold exactly as you see it, nothing more or nothing less.

The Ranchero has a set of vintage slotted dish mag wheels ( in total 1970s fashion), with an older set of Comp/ TA tires. The tread on the tires is about 70% all around.

The interior is very simple, without a lot of gadgets or frills. There is some wear to the outer areas of the split bench seat as pictured ( it has a center armrest). Door panels are in good shape ( except for the snap on the lower area of the driver's, as pictured), glass on both doors is fine and both windows go up and down fine ( they are manual). NO cracks on the windshield.

 

      The registration has just been paid up all the way thru 2014. This Ford Ranchero 500 has a CLEAR California title, and it passed stringent CA Emissions inspections less than thirty days ago.

Overall, a solid workhorse, runaround truck or a great truck to soup-up or hotrod. It is listed here with a ridiculous opening bid and NO RESERVE. That being said, the Ranchero is listed in other venues as well as locally, and as such, I reserve to the right to end this auction early if a serious buyer or aBUY-IT-NOW offer presents itself.

 

  Feel free to EM or call me with questions, and I will try to provide as much information as possible. You can call (650) 430-4660 PST, no later than 9 pm please ( I have little kids).

 

      I will be glad to arrange / assist with nationwide or overseas delivery of this cool Ranchero anywhere, at the most economical shipping rate available.

 

     Should you be the winning bidder, I would like to receive payment within THREE business days, please. Instrument of payment can be a cashier's check or money order(s).                                         Personal, Business, C.C advance or annuity drafts may be utilized, but must clear all funding prior to any transportation arrangements being made.

 Additionally, a bank wire transfer may be used to my local CHASE Bank branch in San Mateo. It expedites the process considerably and allows for faster shipping arrangements.

Finally, PAYPAL may be an alternative, if arrranged between the prospective buyer and seller prior to placing a bid, and prior to the end of the auction, not afterwards.

 

     PLEASE be sure to ask any and all questions before the end of the auction.

Thank you for your interest~!
