Ford Ranchero (1969) for Sale in IL

The 1969 Ford Ranchero Rio Grande is a rare one-year-only model that combines car-like drivability with the utility of a pickup truck. Finished in Wimbledon White with a blacked-out scooped hood and vinyl roof, this Ranchero features a 351-cubic-inch Windsor V8 with Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, long-tube headers, dual exhaust, and MagnaFlow mufflers, paired with a four-speed automatic AOD transmission. Four-wheel power disc brakes and a factory-style suspension—independent in the front and live axle with leaf springs in the rear—deliver both comfort and control. Inside, the Ranchero Rio Grande offers an upgraded black vinyl interior with bucket seats, headrests, a storage/armrest center console, and a two-spoke power-assisted steering wheel. The dash features white-faced gauges, auxiliary gauges, and a retro-style AM/FM/AUX head unit. A powered bed cover and sunroof add convenience.
