Ford Ranchero Submodels
Ford launched the Ranchero in 1957, creating the 'coupe utility' segment in the US 2 years before Chevrolet's El Camino. Initially based on the full-size Fairlane, it offered car-like comfort with a usable pickup bed. Over its seven generations, the Ranchero shifted platforms from the compact Falcon to the mid-size Torino and LTD II, ending production in 1979.
Collectors are drawn to the Ranchero for its unique style and versatility. High-performance variants, especially the GT models with big-block V8s like the 429 Cobra Jet, are the most desirable. The first-generation 1957-1959 models are also highly prized for their classic 50s styling, while the Falcon-based models offer a more compact entry into the classic scene.
The market for the Ranchero is accessible, with an average sale price of $16,746 reflecting solid driver-quality examples. While project cars can be found for under $1,000, the market's breadth is significant. Restored, big-block GTs and rare early models can approach six figures.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary concern; inspect the bed floor (especially under liners), floor pans, lower fenders, and around the front and rear glass.
- High-performance models like the GT command a premium, so verify engine codes and options for authenticity.
- Trim and interior parts for certain years can be scarce, so a complete car is often a smarter and cheaper buy than a project.
- The Ranchero used several car platforms, so check for suspension wear and frame issues common to the underlying Fairlane, Falcon, or Torino chassis.
Prices range from $500 for project cars to $92,000 for concours-level, high-performance variants.
