This 1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero is a red-on-red pickup that was acquired by the current owner and refurbished in 2019. It is powered by a 170ci inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission, and the truck rides on body-color 13″ steel wheels with bright hubcaps. The cab houses a bench seat and a retro-look radio, while the exterior is outfitted with bed rails, a drop-down tailgate, a custom exhaust system, and chrome bumpers. This Ranchero is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with manufacturer’s literature, spare parts, and an Ohio title in the owner’s name.
Finished from the factory in Rangoon Red (J), the pickup features a cargo bed with a drop-down tailgate as well as bright trim, back-up lights, bed rails, and chrome-finished bumpers.
Body-color 13″ steel wheels feature bright hubcaps and are mounted with Coker Classic tires. The pickup is equipped with front coil and rear leaf springs. Stopping power is provided by drum brakes.
The cabin houses a bench seat upholstered in red vinyl as well as vent windows and a retro-look Bluetooth-enabled radio.
The three-spoke steering wheel has a horn ring, and instrumentation includes a horizontal 100-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 3,300 miles, which is noted to represent the miles added since the refurbishment work was completed.
The 170ci inline-six was rated at 101 horsepower and 156 lb-ft of torque when new.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. A custom exhaust system is installed.
