We have found this lovely very rare original 1968 Ford Ranchero GT390 in the possession of the family of the second owner (since 1970) sitting in Santa Barbara California.
This very rare Ranchero GT 390 was purchased by the grand father of our client (whom we are selling it for) in 1970 and hasn't left California since he bought it at Galpin Ford as "slightly used"
It had been stored from 1971 until 1994 (when the grand father died) then used by his daughter for the next several years.
In 1994 She had it repainted the original color of Gulf Stream Aqua (per the Marti Report) and had the original 390 engine rebuilt (the valve guides we set up for unleaded fuel at that time)
One of only 1669 Ranchero GTs produced in 1968, one of only 17 produced with these paint/trim codes, this is truly a rare find indeed.
From the factory with the following equipment:
390 2V Engine
Gulfstream Aqua Paint with C Stripe
Black Vinyl Bench Seat
C-6 Select Shift Cruise O Matic Automatic Transmission
3.00 Rear End
Black Vinyl Roof
Power Disc Brakes
Power Steering
Am Radio
Tinted Glass
Convenience Control Panel
Other than one correct paint job and correct engine rebuild this lovely 1968 Ranchero GT is original and shows very well. Vinyl top is excellent, comes with lots of new and good used spare parts. Such as custom bed carpet, dash cover, 4 wheel covers, ranchero script, service records back to early 1990''s and much more.
Look at the photos, this is a great driver or a perfect cadidate for a full restoration of a very rare Ranchero.

2015 Ford F-150 spied in the rain
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Standing as quite a contrast from the spy shots of the 2015 Ford Mustang we saw earlier today, our spies also sent along these pictures of the next-generation F-150 pickup out testing in its (heavily camouflaged) full prototype body. Much of the new truck's design is hidden under the bulky coveralls, but we expect a lot of its new lines to be inspired by the Atlas concept that debuted at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Perhaps the biggest unknown surrounding the new F-150 is what, exactly, its body will be made of. Earlier reports have suggested that lightweight aluminum materials may be used throughout, offering a serious reduction in weight versus previous models. But Ford engineers will need to be careful, though, as they need to keep a tight rein on costs while preserving class-competitive (if not class-leading) towing and payload capacity.
On the powertrain front, the new F-150 will undoubtedly carry on with EcoBoost engines, and we'd bet on a normally aspirated V8 as well. A diesel option hasn't been confirmed, but we wouldn't be surprised to see one some time in the truck's lifecycle. Mum's the word on when the production F-150 will be revealed, but our best guess is that we'll see it at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
Ford dissects the heart of the 2015 Mustang, its engine range
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Happy Mustang Day. Are you tired of hearing about the 2015 Ford Mustang yet? No? Good, here's a bunch of mechanical data on Ford's sixth-gen muscle car, along with cutaways of the GT's 5.0-liter V8 and the new 2.3-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder shown above. We also have a smattering of info on the Stang's updated transmissions and an exploded-parts-diagram view of its all-new independent rear suspension.
Ford is set to make waves offering the Mustang with a turbo for the firs time since the small-volume SVO of the 1980s. Displacing 2.3 liters, the engine's twin-scroll turbo should help the four-cylinder turn out a projected 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, while also returning the best fuel economy in the Mustang's engine lineup. As we said in our Deep Dive, the EcoBoost will be slotted in as a premium engine, above the 3.7-liter V6 but below the 5.0-liter V8.
Speaking of that high-revving eight-cylinder, it's receiving a new cylinder head with high-flow ports. The intake and exhaust valves are larger and the cams have been replaced, among other tweaks. It should rev even higher thanks to a rebalanced crankshaft and forged connecting rods. Ford is still claiming a projected 420 hp and 390 lb-ft, although as many of the changes for the 2015's V8 come from the 2013 Boss 302, we're going to assume there's some sandbagging at work.
