Hi folks,

my name is Rico Harzer. I’m from Germany and I recently bought a 1971 Ford Ranchero from a friend in the state of Washington. The car made its way over the ocean safely and now sits in my garage, joining my other vintage Fords, a 1956 F100 and a 1967 Mustang convertible. Since the Ranchero is very rare here in Europe, I hope to find some advices and help here in that forum. I’m planning to drive the car for a couple of months before starting a complete restoration. I bought a lot of spare parts which came with the car. But so far, the car is very solid and needs only minor repairs to get it on the road. I tried to attach some pics but to no avail.

Cheers!
Rico
