Off topic Rancheros and Elcaminos

Anybody with off topic Rancheros or Elcaminos post them up!

Here is my 1967 Ranchero that my Dad bought new when i was 6 years old.It was ready for the junkyard when he gave it to me in the 80's.This is it today with a 1915 Harley and 1912 Indian boardtrack racer replicas that i built

 

Love the one year body on the 67. Been looking for one for years, either too much money or rust bucket, sometimes both…..

 

Was the '66 still based off the Falcon body style??.....

 

Yes, however the Falcon was based off a shortened Fairlane for 66. Sort a mashup year.

 

Not mine,,,,,but I would like to own it.

 

Found this one car spotting in LA.

 

My 75 El Camino.

 

My old 73 after I misjudged the drop spindle/spring cut combo and the front crossmember was 3/4 inch off the ground

 

I owned this around 20 years ago? 1970 Ranchero 500. 429 SCJ ram-air, 4-speed, 3.91 trac-loc. The owner today has the Marti report and it was one 8-9 built of that particular model with those options.

 

My 67

 

I just picked up this ‘67 Ranchero. I’m the 3rd owner. It has a rebuilt 390 and C6. Just a few little rust spots that will need future attention to keep them from getting worse.
Looking to learn more about them, like interchange possibilities, where to get restoration parts. I like the hood with the scoop like acroguy posted above. I’ll be looking for bucket seats and the console/floor shifter as I do it my way.

 

A 427 er 428 should drop in there without any problems.....

 

My old former drag car, put a 460 I built in it but never finished....sold to a friend, who sold to another guy and it came out really nice in black cherry, I'm searching for pics of it done.


My Dad's '70 El Camino, 468 BBC, 4 wheels discs, yadayada.

 

My '65 El Camino. It falls somewhere between "not" OT (because it's the same body as a '64) and OT, but, I'm going to post it anyway...427 BBC, 5 speed, 12 bolt detroit locker with 355's. Fast Car, fun car. Some call it a gasser; I call it a street freak. I built it with cars I had in mind while reading car craft in the 70's and 80's as a boy. The build is about 8 years old now. I really love this one, I call her the "Green Monster"

 

I have to admit, I bought it with the idea of making it look a little racy, like car you might see at Lions on a Sunday racing in C/SA or something. It has Hooker headers and a 2 1/2” exhaust system. He didn’t put much of a cam in it, he said it’s the proverbial “RV cam”. I’ll be looking for some advice from the FE guys on how to pep it up some.

 

Love this one! I just have to post it here....'66

 

Holy moly, an Arias! Never thought of them as a street engine.

 

The Elcamino belongs to Justin Arias....
