Supercharged 1957 Ford Ranchero Muscle Car Of The Week Video 15
This week on Muscle Car of the Week, we delve into a rare and fascinating vehicle - the 1957 Ford Ranchero with a supercharged V8 engine!
While the 1957 Chevy might be more well-known, Ford's lineup that year was revolutionary, with 21 all-new models, including the Ranchero - a car that blended car comfort with truck functionality.
But this particular Ranchero hides a powerful secret - a supercharged engine that makes it a true muscle car in disguise!
Here's what makes the 1957 Ford Ranchero with a supercharged V8 special:
Unique origins: Only two of these supercharged Rancheros were ever built, making this a true collector's item.
Hidden muscle: Packing a 312 cubic inch supercharged V8 engine, this Ranchero delivers exhilarating performance with 300 horsepower and 327 lb-ft of torque.
Luxury touches: Despite its work truck base, this particular Ranchero boasts features like Kelsey Hayes wire wheels and a two-tone interior, making it a unique blend of utility and comfort.
Racing inspiration: The supercharged engine was derived from Ford's NASCAR program, showcasing their innovative spirit and competitive edge.
One does not normally consider the 1957 Ford Ranchero to be a Muscle Car, but when you hear the story of this factory built supercharged 312 V8 powered 1 of 2 produced version, the name seems fitting! This Flame Red super truck is another example of the diversity of the Brothers Collection, and it stems from a year when Ford gave it's all to beat Chevy in sales and speed on the NASCAR track.
