i'm selling the Ranchero. what should i ask for it?

B0B · December 1st, 2008, 01:45 AM

Heres my Craigslist ad which i havent posted yet.

I've decided to sell my Ranchero. I have owned the car Since 1999 and i drove it daily for years. Last year i decided to restore the car, but i ran out of time and money for my hobby, since i bought a new Mustang i have lost interest in finishing the Ranchero.

I have the Original engine (289), that needs to be rebuilt sitting in my Garage. This is a numbers matching car.

The engine that is in the car is a 289 Bored .030 over. The bottom end of this engine was done several years ago and was used in a different car for about 5,000 miles, so it is a fresh bottom end.

The Heads are 4V heads that are out of a 1967 Cougar. Rebuilt last year, with zero miles on them and extensive porting work.

It has a C4 automatic with Shift Kit and it has been rebuilt as well, it has the same amount of miles as the shortblock.

I have over $2000 into the top end of this engine, and all of the parts have zero miles on them, so it is like new. it has been started on occasion and the car runs, but i haven't driven it anywhere except from the garage to the driveway.

Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap Intake
Edelbrock Performer RPM 4BBL Carb
Edelbrock Performer RPM Cam And Lifters (290/300 Duration .496/.520 lift)
Ford Racing Chrome Valve Covers
1.6 Ratio Aluminum Roller Rockers (Not installed but will go with the car)
Edelbrock Sure Seat Valve Springs
March Billet Pulleys
Chrome Alternator
Electric Fuel Pump
Electronic Ignition
Headmen Shorty Headers (new, not installed)
Dual Flowmaster 2.25 inch exhaust with 40 Series Mufflers
B&M Floor Shifter
CD Player
ARP Head Studs, and Timing Cover/Water pump bolt set
New Oil Pump, oil pan gasket
New Radiator
New Water Pump
Tinted Windows
New Rear Tires
14 inch "Crager" wheels

1967 Cougar Front Disc Brakes Conversion

The Engine Compartment Looks Fantastic. The Car runs great and is in good Mechanical working condition. i Drove the Car daily for 4 years and it never left me stranded.

now for the bad details:

The Car Needs Paint. it is the original paintjob. there is some rust, but its not bad. behind the rear wheels has a little cancer and the floorboards. which is very common and i've seen many that were much worse. the bed has no rust, and neither does the tailgate. there is a dent on the right rear, but it is fixable. there are also small dings here and there but the car can be cleaned up and painted and turned into show quality pretty easily. the Interior isn't too bad. New Carpet and seats is about all it needs to be very presentable.
