Hey folks,
I need a little guidance here.
I found a 64 ranchero with a somewhat stock 260 engine in it. Paint is
excellent. Some mods to the rear end...9bolt something or other. 302
heads on the motor.. but this guy has all of the stock parts as well.
What is the car worth. Overall excellent shape.. new valve job. West
Coast car. How Much??
