The late great Chuck Berry once sang 'Get your kicks, on Route 66.' And if he was driving this 1965 Ford Ranchero with a modification list longer than most phone books, there's a fair chance he would've kicked that strip of road well into the middle of next week..

One tonne...Ranchero? First a little history lesson on the Ford Ranchero 1965 and every other model (because I've never crossed paths with one yet to my knowledge) Sourced from the ever growing horde of random autos on Facebook Classifieds, I've copied the ad warts and all and interspersed the tasty pics so you can lose yourself in the parts list and then drool over all the tidy work involved. $28,000
