This 1970 Ford Ranchero GT is one of 66 examples produced for the model year that were powered by a 429ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
The N-code 429ci V8 is modified with a Weber carburetor, an Edelbrock intake manifold, a K&N air cleaner, an upgraded alternator, a March Performance serpentine belt system, chrome-finished valve covers, a dual electric radiator fan system, and a Mallory Ignition electronic ignition system with MSD wires.
Stamping 0A140228 is shown above and matches the last six digits of the vehicle serial number.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission that was overhauled in August 2021, at which time Hooker headers were fitted and the exhaust gaskets were also replaced.
The vehicle was ordered in red (T) and has been repainted.
Exterior features include hideaway headlights, a hood scoop, chrome trim, 429 and GT badging, and fading yellow-to-red side stripes.
The left door edge finish is chipped and has been partially touched-up, and records indicate the front grille was replaced in August 2021.
14″ Magnum 500-style wheels are mounted with 225/70 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires.
This example was ordered with power-assisted front disc brakes and steering from the factory, the latter of which was recently upgraded.
A brake fluid flush was performed in preparation for sale, at which time a power steering hose was also replaced.
The split bench seat is upholstered in dark red vinyl with a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets.
Interior equipment includes a Fairlane AM/FM stereo, a Hurst shifter, and crank windows, and discoloration is visible on the left door armrest.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames an optional 8k-rpm tachometer, a 120-mph speedometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature.
The five-digit odometer shows over 41k miles.
