1968 Ford Ranchero - A Boss That Really Hauls - Mustangs and Fords Magazine
Normally, you wouldn't directly relate a Ford Ranchero to a Boss Mustang, but pair a Boss 302 owner who regularly road races with a deal on a Ranchero that was too good to pass up and what you get is the racy, Boss-inspired parts truck you see here. The owner of the eye-searing Sunrise Orange Mist Ranchero is Bruce Schureman of Valencia, California, and he has been "racing and restoring cars forever. " Having previously owned a couple of original Boss 302 Mustangs, and currently road racing an Ed Hinchcliff number 41 Boss 302 replica, Bruce is no stranger to high-performance vehicles. "I have an old motorhome and trailer that I store in Castaic, California, and the Ranchero had been stored there for 12-13 years," Bruce recalled. While the Ranchero had a broken rear window and was withering away in a dirt lot, the body was pretty good on it. "I happened to be up there picking up my race rig and saw that the Ranchero was pushed up front for sale. As it turns out, Bruce is a service manager with Galpin Motors overseeing the Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Lotus brands, Galpin Classic Auto Service, and the maintenance of the Galpin auto collection. Bruce offered up the Ranchero and told them about his plan. Source: www.mustangandfords.com
