Ford Ranchero - 6th Gen (1972 to 1976)

The sixth generation of Ford Ranchero debuted in 1972. This updated generation of the Ranchero continued to share many components and styling with the Ford Torino, while being built in a coupe utility (pickup), body style. Variants offered included the 500, GT, and Squire, while engine options started with a base 250ci inline six as well as numerous V8 choices. The smallest V8 available was the 302, while two 351 units, a 400, a 429, and a 460 were offered in certain years. A 3 speed automatic or 4 speed manual transmission sent power to the rear wheels. Production of the 6th Gen Ranchero ended in 1976, when the 7th Gen Ford Ranchero was introduced.
