1979 Ford Ranchero

Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present this 1979 Ford Ranchero GT Brougham. Step back into the pinnacle of late-1970s automotive versatility and style with this stunning pickup truck. Representing the final production year of Ford's legendary coupe-utility vehicle, this Ranchero Brougham is the perfect convergence of everyday utility and top-tier luxury. Built on the smooth-riding, intermediate mid-size platform shared with the Ford LTD II and Thunderbird, this final-year classic offers a boulevard-smooth ride with the undeniable presence of a true American collector car. With its sleek black exterior and blue Accent Stripes, this Ranchero GT Brougham offers a unique aesthetic that is beautifully complemented by a gray and light tan interior. This beauty features long wearing deluxe vinyl upholstery, 60/40 split-bench seat setup, dual fold-down center armrests and a tilt steering wheel. Additional comfort is added with air conditioning so every ride is both smooth and comfortable. The AM/FM radio covers your entertainment needs in this Ranchero GT Brougham. Under the hood is a durable 5.8L Windsor V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission to deliver powerful but also smooth and responsive handling. The 351 Windsor utilizes a small-block Ford architecture but features a taller deck height compared to a standard 302 V8 to allow for its longer stroke. Three-speed automatic transmissions from the muscle car and classic truck era are legendary for their durability. Their longevity comes down to basic mechanical simplicity, heavy-duty materials, and low internal operating stress. Power steering and brakes allow smooth stop ability and handling on any long road trip or while running daily errands. This vehicle can be seen in detail including 200+ HD pictures and an HD video at gatewayclassiccars.com. It is located at the Chicago Showroom, 1329 Commerce Drive, Crete, IL 60417.
