  • Snow fun in the Ranchero

    I had a good time driving out of my back yard in the Ranchero. It was snowed in pretty good. I didn't expect to get it out. I didn't need to get it out but I did need to take the trash out. The city hadn't been picking it up on the curb due to the snow. So I Bumped it up over/through about a foot. It has big truck snow tires. It took about 10 minutes of playing with it to get it out. What can I say, it was fun! Then I added the curb trash to the trash in the bed and took it to the transfer station.

              if your wife every convinces you to get rid of it, lemme know! I always wanted an older ranchero, El Camino, or dodge rampage, but since I really don't care for GM, it narrows it down a little

                    Yeaaaaah it would cost a buttload to drive it up to NY. But it runs like a champ! As they say everything's for sale. But here it is in a couple of starring roles.... 8^)

                              I owned a blue 74 ranchero back in 1979. I loved that car, or was it a truck. Fastest stock car I ever owned. The 351 Cleveland was a great motor. It had a strong automatic trans too. Don't remember what trans it was but it would curp the rear wheels when the trans shifted. I was down the shore and got drunk and slept in the back of it one night. Seeing yours brought back a lot of go memories. I even raced and beat a corvette on the Garden State Parkway once coming back home from the Shore. Hated trading it in, but had to get something with a back seat because I had a 2 year old son and another one on the way.
