1970 Ranchero GT 429CJ 4 speed

[SuperNovaSS]

I just picked up this 98K original mile car. Its a very nice survivor. Full numbers car with 429CJ/370HP 4 speed and 31 spline nodular 9 inch. Any input on the demand for these cars? I never really liked this style but this is a very cool truck!


Thanks,

Jason

It has a shaker hood?
I know Ford sold a few limited number of those cars, but I am not sure of the collectability of them, but they are rare for sure.

In any case nice find, they look pretty cool.

No shaker hood, but it does have hide away lights, AM-FM, sport mirrors, and many other options. Strangly enough it has a bench seat.

Jason is it by chance a "SUPER"-CJ???? if so they did not make many.

Wsh it was. No oil cooler though. Waiting for the Marti report to find out all original equipment.

I assume it is a "C" code car? They are rarer than cars with the shaker. I bet they made less than 100 of 'em with both trannys. I'd love to see your Marti Report when you receive it. For now, how 'bout some vital stats like color, lasers, etc?

There was a CJ Ranchero 500 at the B-J auction. They made 6 with the CJ-R and 4-speed.

Ha...My Friend bought the SCJ Ranchero that was at Barrett-Jackson. I've been teasing him about the thing and then this thread starts up.

The car was originally a gold color. It was repainted black long ago and will be going back to the original gold. All original panels, you can even still see the part numbers on the backs. The suspension still has all the tags etc on it. Black bench interior, original and excellent. Power steering, AM-FM, sport mirrors, hubcaps. It has slots on it now but the original rims with polyglass are in the bed. It is a very original car.

Charlie, how much did your friend spend? And I assume he's aware there's some issues with the car in order for it to be correct, right?
