Rick DeVito recently contacted us regarding his 1965 Ranchero that he is resto-modifying to Pro/Street. Below is the first photo he took of his Ranchero back in 1999.
Some of the goodies on his unique Ranchero are as follows:
Rick reports that the engine produces 350 horsepower and is mated to a T-10 four speed manual transmission. The mighty Ranchero has a 9" Posi-track rear narrowed to 38 inches.

I just recently purchased some " Hooker Super
Competition Headers".(They're BADASS!)
She's getting ready to go off to the body shop. It's going to be painted a light metallic
turquoise, with a Lil' bit of pearl essence.
This engine will be coming out the winter of 2002...To upgrade a "347 Stroker" motor. I can't wait! True 400HP at the rear wheels. If not close to 450HP. I guess when you jump into the 500+ HP range ,they're almost not streetable...and keep them running right anyways...
