    The most 70s thing you'll see today



    Yes folks, that's a 1979 Ford Ranchero, Ford's wrong answer to Chevy's El Camino. With that particular graphics package, the driver must have a porn 'stache, wear a cowboy hat, and leave the top 5 buttons of their shirt undone at all times while operating the vehicle per state law.
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    Not sure I wanna hang out with the person that thought that restoration project was a productive use of their time...

    Hardly looks restored. Just parked indoors for a few decades and somewhat recently dragged out.

    If you’re the type that thinks any publicity is good publicity, that’s what you drive to the local show and shine/cars and coffee.

    I wonder if he’d include shipping in that $3K…

    It's 106 miles to Branson, we've got a half a tank of gas, a 12 pack of miller lite, it's 9:30AM and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Maybe because I was a pre-teen when this came out but I think it is awesome! Of course I don't want to drive it.

    I do have to admit that I have 1971 Baja Bug now that I bought because I really wanted one in high school in the 1980s.

    I did not exist when this one was made.

    I still kind of want it. Or I would if I didn't know it was rotten to the core. Looking at the rust in the tailgate and rear fenders tells me this one is beyond saving.

    I was looking at this one on CL: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/c...357755253.html - Can't decide if I want to go down and see it in person. I'm leaning towards 'No', but mostly because I don't have a mullet.
