Default 1st show for the ranchero
took the ranchero on its first long ride 30+ miles to its first show took a 3rd place in stock class.[ interior needs to be finished ] lots of comments on colors and how you don't see many of these. and the most asked question where did you find it? the answer is behind a barn in PA 7 yrs ago wrecked, was bought for my oldest daughter at the time but at 16 yrs old I was told that's to OLD! oh well so now she has my 01 expedition which I get when it needs repair or it snows for my accounts all in all I got a nice car out of it.i'm having trouble moving pics from my profile to here so go there to see pics

Congrats Frank. I've been following your progress and have an idea of how much work you have in that classic ride. I like it a lot. John

I like that you kept the six. Nice looking ranchero and I like your choice of color.

Great work, Frank. A testament to both your skills and your taste. Even thought I'm a y block guy, I'll vote for the 6 too.

Was this the Ford dealer show? I was thinking of going just to stagger around and eyeball the cars, but hung out with the cat. Nice Ranchero, the color is great.

I don't see any pictures except for your station wagon. No Ranchero pics in the profile.

Frank, I saw this sweet looking '65 Mustang at the El Segundo Driving Museum the other day. It is on this weekends Ride Schedule. Notice that it has three 1 barrel carbs on the Six.
