Steven Farley is still rocking his Ranchero that he bought from the earnings of his paper route when he was just 13.
We’ll let Steven give yo the low down on this awesome Ford…
“I bought this as my first car with money I made throwing a paper route when I was 13 years old in 1979. It was always rough around the edges, but it served me faithfully through high school and a chunk of college. Leroy (the truck’s name) went off the road and into the garage in the mid/late 80’s and followed me from place to place for over 30 years. I’d work on it from time to time, but I finally got serious about restoration five years back. I’ve made a few improvements and had a top notch body man do the paint, dent, and rust repair. It’s done now and I couldn’t be happier. I’m glad I didn’t let go of my first wheels!”
