This Life-Long Pacific Northwest Ranchero was sold new about 30 miles North of us back in September of 1967. It was produced specifically to be a loaner car under Ford's corporate 'Loan Out Vehicle Program' and sent to Gearhart Ford Sales Co in Mount Vernon, Washington in December of 1966. The dealer used it as a loaner until it was sold on September 6th of 1967. Since then its moved about 50 miles up and down the I5 corridor. Thankfully it's been garaged and the floors are among the nicest you will see in a 58 year old car.
​
This is a gorgeous example of a '67 Ranchero. The paint has a great shine, panels are straight & solid, chrome & bright work are all impressive and that's on top of this being a 1 year only body style. The functional 427 reproduction hood really makes the car stand out with the big air intake up front. 427 fender badges let everyone know this isn't some over-challenged 289 2 barrel or even wheezy 390GT.
​
Inside the Factory 500XL interior has been restored using factory upholstery by Stitches Upholstery. The fit & finish is amazing. The bezels and trim all shine brightly. It's a mystery why only 1,881 500 XL's were produced.
 
Under the hood lives a 427 Cubic Inch monster. This a a 351 Windsor based engine utilizing a 1969 block with the extra webbing. The rotating assembly is reported to be an Eagle setup with 10.5 to 1 compression that's been fully balanced. They cylinder heads are Pro Comp aluminum units and the cam is a custom grind hydraulic roller from Oregon Cams. The RPM style intake manifold is topped with an Air Fuel Spark built 750cfm Holley carburetor that's been fitted with LeMans float bowls. The headers are Thorley Tri-Y's that have been ceramic coated and exit through a high quality dual exhaust with 'Turbo' style mufflers. It literally sounds perfect.

The C4 automatic has been upgraded with extra clutches, mild stall converter and a shift kit.

The factory 8" differential has been upgraded to a Heavy Duty 9" unit with a heavy duty housing, 'Nodular' case housing, Daytona Pinion support, 3.50 gearing and a Traction Lock.

The front suspension has been completely rebuilt and larger front disc brakes added. The steering is tight with new tie rod ends and a manual steering conversion installed. This one is an easy steer thanks to the correct components and that beautiful factory 16" steering wheel.
