Random thought. Could you get a Ranchero Squire with a CJ and 4 speed in 1972 or 73? Have we found any if any exist? ------------- Griffin 1973 Gran Torino station wagon 1972 Gran Torino 4 Door 1976 Gran Torino station wagon 1971 Maverick 2 Door |

According to a wikipedia article, the only 4 speeds available with the 351 CJ in 72/73 were the GT models....if that is accurate. ------------- David |

I had a 72 Q-Code Squire with a 4-speed from 1974 until 1976. The original owner put on an Offenhauser dual-plane manifold and headers. I added a 780CFM Holley and completed the 2.5" exhaust with Corvair turbocharger mufflers. The car/truck went pretty good and sounded great. Definitely regret getting rid of it, but being from the Chicago area the body was already suffering from salt "wounds" and it was only 4 years old. I doubt seriously that it's still on the road, but would certainly like to find it again. ------------- phuml789 |
