2.5" mandrel bent stainless exhaust w/Magnaflow X-pipe & Magnaflow 4X9X18" stainless mufflers exiting behind the wheels.
Notes:
I purchased this car from the original owner in Washington state in August 2006; It was exceptionally clean and 99% original; I got most of the original documentation including the "letter of Acceptance" dated 04 Jan 1973!
I installed the wheels & tires, cam, intake, 4 barrel carb, timing chain, a rebuilt distributor with a digital ignition, coil, plugs & wires, and dual exhaust.
Unfortunately, this car was destroyed in March 2006; It was rear-ended while parked on the street in front of my house. While not a very rare car, there were only 309 Ranchero's painted this color in1973.
