Hey all, new guy here. I recently bought a 1972 Ranchero GT 351c 2v for my wife. Solid CA that is fairly original that runs strong. We are looking at keeping it on the road so I expect to have plenty of questions going forward.

Welcome to the forum! I upgraded you to a full member so you have full forum access. Post some pics of the Ranchero and your other cars when you have a chance. You have some nice old Fords.

It’s a 351c 2v. I’ve been wanting a Cleveland for a long time. My wife likes Rancheros and wanted one. When we found this one it had a Cleveland. WIN!

Welcome! Very nice cars! A 72 and a Cleveland, I'd say that's a major win

Very nice Ranchero and other cars! The '65-'67 are some of my all time favorite full-size Fords.
