70 Ranchero GT

Comet never made it to paint, I held off. I didn't like the quality that was coming out of the shop. I'll be handling the rest of the body with a friend helping with final prep. My friend knows a top notch painter so it will go to him and I'll rent a booth. Ranchero is more of a driver with little odds and ends like gas gauge not working and A/C not working.

 

Nice buy! My eyes popped when I saw the pic of the interior. I have always been a fan of this body style in all of it varieties. I would love to make a (did not exist) 2 door wagon. Read a discussion suggesting using a Ranchero and a wagon roof together.

Here is my second car .... 71 Torino Brougham, 351C 2bbl, really nice old-man patterened cloth bench seats, vinyl top. Started out light blue/medium blue top. Painted it AMC Midnight Blue and dyed the top black. Load 5 of your closest friends in it and crank the AC up to "frost" .... The best highway car. Had it while in college, and could literally load everything I owned into it, including a 10 speed bike(between the seats) and two guitars. Huge trunk.

 

Very nice! I love those cars because their not cars.... and no truck. Ranchero!!!!!! Sweet find.

 

NW stands for North West, and was mostly sold in Oregon and Washington. Since moving to the Northwest, I have found two different guys with Torino NW's.
Very cool.
