I guess I've never grown up. And for now at least, I've decided I don't want to. Evidence of this fact abounds. And this page should provide sufficient proof to stand up in any court of law. Let's just hope it isn't traffic court.
The 994 Mustang was a fun ride too, but is now retired as the Destination Autoworks loaner car for drag racers whose car is in the shop.
The 2008 Shelby GT 500 convertible is way, way fun to drive.
But the Ranchero is as fun as it gets.

OK, I've got to admit the real reason I got my Ranchero was for the 429 Cobra Jet. Once I decided I wanted a 429 CJ something, and assuming I wanted something that legitimately came from the factory with one - mine didn't, but some did - my choices were limited to a 70 or 71 Torino - like the one I had 30 years ago - or Ranchero or a 71 Mustang, or their Mercury equivalents. Although I love the early Mustangs, especially the 1969 Shelby, I'm not partial to the 71 Mustang. And the Ranchero just seemed more fun to me than a Torino. Anyway, until I find a Torino convertible, this Ranchero is my fun project.
