Body & Paint

- The fit & finish is amazing. The trim panels & chrome is good to excellent.
Interior:
- Stock and very clean – nothing fancy. It looks too good to be original.
This is a precision, hand built Ranchero. The idle is like mechanical music, nice rumble, not flashy or loud…just nice. THIS CAR DRIVES!!!
This Ranchero is a driver, a lot of fun…very smooth, crisp and responsive. It will go as fast as you want to go…a real sleeper, yet it looks like a stock Ranchero.
