426 Hemi Coronet

The above photo is what it looked like when purchased at the former owner's house

The interior to date. I was fortunate enough to locate a set of the original set covers with the Steer head. The interior I did myself, however the seat was taken to an upholstery shop to have done.

For some reason the photo below is larger than the ones above. Sorry about that, my computer skills are very limited.

The cause of it all. Photo was taken in 1964. The Ranchero belonged to my fathers business. The occasion was graduation from High School. I was 17 years old. The lady with her back in the photo was my girlfriend at the time, her name is Barbara. Her father died shortly after this photo was taken. If that wasn't enough, her brother didn't complete his tour in Vietnam. 

She and I are still in contact. When I got the RRA home, I contacted her and we reminisced about those wonderful innocent days. When I called her, she related how she remembered that there was a compartment on her side above the floor that we "stashed liquid stuff in".

The RRA is currently in my garage being sanded down to paint in the near future. Yes, it will be white, except I will use the 63 color of white instead the of Wimbledon White which is kind of has a creamy yellow tinge white.

I hope this will fill in some of the blanks for you,

Frank

I get it now. Ranch Arrow. My brother-in-law has a '71 Ranchero with a 460/C6. Brutal torque. I like Whimbledon White. Our Nova is a later model GM white that is not far off WW. I really wanted a Ford Falcon, but had a small block chevy burning a hole in my pocket, so I found a Nova.
