NMNA - $2500.    My opinion, I know these are loved by a lot of folk, but to me it's the goofiest Ranchero made.  BUT, it looks clean and with a little TLC ....

Located in Michigan.

Of all the trucklets made in the us, that's my least favorite... but even that has its own cool factor!

And unless he's hiding a ton of rust problems, that's a really good price.

The american Ranchero is so weird looking. 

Dad's 1979 Australian Ranchero. (351 Cleveland.)

I'd kill to import one that wasnt a million dollars. 

(My grandfather hand formed the metal splitter for it.)

That's an impressive splitter. Nice car!

Back in the 1930s, Henry Ford sold Utes (Utility Vehicles) in Australia; wouldn't allow them here, called them Kangaroo catchers.  I'd be all over a 1955 Crown Vic Ranchero if the shipping wasn't so tough.

2003 Ford Pursuit Ute.

These look pretty decent with a Thunderbird front end swap, imo.

Or a Cougar front if you don't want to deal with the covered headlight stuff.
