Battle of Builders finalist - 1971 Ford Ranchero

 

1971 Ford Ranchero custom 




Automotive enthusiasts have long debated whether Ford’s Ranchero is a car, a truck or something in between, but this beautifully detailed fifth-generation 1971 Ford Ranchero built by Randy Borcherding, owner of the Painthouse in Cypress, Texas is classified as a “street truck.”  




Designed by Keith Kaucher of Kaucher Kustoms the Ranchero was named one of the top 12 finalists in the SEMA360 “Battle of the Builders” contest.




Powered by a 351-cubic inch Ford Cleveland V-8 engine, the 1971 Ford rides on Schott  'kidney bean' style custom wheels. The Painthouse finished it with  a custom shade from PPG Paints before they shipped it to Stich by Stich Custom Designs in Cookeville Tennessee to complete the interior.
