Why This Car Is Special

The Ranchero was introduced for the 1957 model year and ran until 1979. Our 1964 Ford Ranchero, we have here at Skyway Classics, represents a revolutionary half-car, half-truck configuration that made it easy to climb in and drive while standing by ready, willing and able to haul burdens as needed.

When it was introduced, the Ranchero broke quite a few automotive industry rules. Built off of an automobile assembly line yet sold via Ford's truck division, it was a definite hit with both the automotive press and the American buying public.

It's looking sharp both inside and out and is armed with a period correct 302 cubic inch V8 engine under its hood that runs and looks great.

Mechanical

Under the hood rests a 302 cubic inch small block Ford engine that has been dressed up with custom aftermarket finned air cleaner assembly and finned Falcon Powered by Ford valve covers.

It also has air conditioning, performance spark plug wire set, new battery, aluminum radiator, and looks great in the detailed, painted, and clean engine compartment.

The power is routed through an automatic, shifted on the floor. The exhaust has a nice note and the underneath it's very solid and features an updated dual exhaust system.

The car-truck sits on factory mustang styled wheels adorned with blackwall tires for a very clean period look.

Interior

The updated interior has a balance of vintage factory looks with tasteful amounts of aftermarket parts like the twin black adjustable high-back bucket seats with interior storage space just behind them, black vinyl door panels as well as the headliner, clean black carpeting and floor mats, three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel, the nice looking blue factory dash with the stock instrument panel and gauges that all function as intended, an air conditioning unit below the dash, the chrome automatic shifter sits within easy reach, and the Mustang radio.

Exterior

This '64 features a clean and very nice looking blue paint scheme that is solid-looking and well-aligned, with a hood and doors that open and close smoothly and show nice even gaps.

Many of its exterior fittings, including both the front and rear bumpers, side mirrors and door handles, were all replaced and look great as they sit alongside trim and badges that also present well.

The bed out back was painted to match the body and has a custom vinyl Ranchero bed mat.
