Possibly buying a 1970 ranchero, need some help!

[ric0chet06]

Okay, so I was going to buy a newer toyota truck since I'm in construction. Then, eventually I was going to buy a 1960's mustang for a project. Then I saw this ranchero locally for $3500. The description says: 1970 Ford Ranchero. 351 Cleveland, new edelbrock 750 Carb, Duel Flowmaster exhaust. What's the MPG on something like this? And can the bed actually handle a load, like a small load of dirt and maybe a trash run? And any weak points or places that something usually breaks that I should look for? Here's a picture of it, I think it looks great!




thanks for your time!

I hope its a 4V Cleveland, You'll have a very nice motor with some potential. It'll be a total gas hog though.

10-12 mpg or lower?

[jonmark1985]

yeah 10-12
