Red Ranchero 500 390 Windsor Stroker, Efi, 4wheel Disc, Ac, Ps, Power Windows on 2040-cars

1967 Ford Rachero 500 390 EFI Resto Mod/Pro touring car

This truck is Fast and Beautiful. It handle and stops better than any pick up you have ever driven too. 

I am a professional car builder and well known diagnostician and technician I built this truck for me but my family has decided they like going to car events for me so we are needing a few more seating positions and I don't have enough room for this one and I can't stand to have it sit around without being enjoyed. You are buying this car for 30% of the cost to build it or more to the point you are buying the paint and I am throwing in one really nice hot rod.

The body and interior were media blasted and made laser straight including sand and fill across panels for that show car look. All repairs were done with the car on a rotisserie. All the blocking was done this way too so even the bottom of the car is straight if you look up at it. The color is the 2009 Ford F series Red which is pretty close to the original 67 red but much easier to match. All of the stainless on the car has been polished, all of the chrome has been completely restored including the dash parts (over $1100 just in the interior chrome bezels of the gauges and A/C vents) Nearly every system on it has been upgraded from lighting and wiring to a complete redesign of the suspension for better ride and handling than Ranchero's normally had. Here is the list:

 

Body

Base coat clear coat super glossy rubbed out paint job

All of the body joints were cleaned and resealed with new joint sealant

All lines adjusted and fit for straightness

Power dome hood scoops with the 390 emblems removed

Blacked out hood, scoops, cowl and wiper arms

All new rubber throughout

Bed is very straight and has color matched Rhino lining

Stainless trim all polished 

Head light doors, Grille and tail lamp bezels all powder coated in a matte pearl gray

Halogen headlamps

All doors including tailgate sound dampened for that high end car sound when they close

500 trim removed (You can have all of it if you want it.)

All new chrome and emblems - some New Old Stock (NOS)

NOS lamps with restored reflectors

 

Interior

1960s time machine. 

All original NOS gauges and radio

Factory A/C system

Interior all in original Ford colors

New headliner original style

New carpet loop

Ranchero embroidered floor mats

Seat redone with memory foam, original style vinyl but 2005 Mustang Red Fabric inset for better comfort.

New Dearborn Classic door panels - GT style because you could not get the 500 when we did the car

New custom vinyl panel behind seat

All repainted in correct 67 Fairlane red metallic inside

Dash pad was upholstered to match interior

Added period correct Moon Gauges and Tachometer

Added period correct steering wheel with red metal flake - I just liked it

All dash chrome was vacuum plated or chromed better than original

Everything works

 

Engine

I build and tune engines for a living and for over 35 years. This was designed on dyno simulation software and it sounds like a drag race engine but will tear your face off right off idle to about 5500 RPM.

Lincoln Versailles 9 Inch with 3.0 Limited slip, Noisy but fine Richmond High nickel gears and a custom Torque arm and sub frame connectors

Don't worry It can blow its tires away at will but if you are a little subtle it hooks up well. 

New high performance driveshaft

 

Suspension

The factory suspension has been plotted in my Lotus suspension design software to improve several areas. 

Moved the upper control arms to better locations for better camber curve and anti dive. (similar to the Shelby mod on the mustangs)

Removed the springs from the upper control arms and utilized adjustable air coil overs on the lower control arms to lower the spring roll pivot points.

Custom adjustable upper coil over seats on the front.

Boss Mustang style lower frame rail supports welded in

All new parts in Steering

Rear suspension is a Rocker arm like a Formula 1 car. The Air coil overs are horizontal mounted and attach to the rocker arms and pushrods down to the rear end. This reduces unsprung weight and keeps the rear from bouncing over rough roads and there is no wheel hop from this suspension.

 

Brakes
