5: Ford Ranchero
As with most battles between the big three automakers, the Ranchero was the answer to the Chevy El Camino. The problem is that the car wasn’t much better than the Chevy version, and it didn’t give consumers much reason to make the switch. The Ranchero was underpowered, and it wasn’t reliable. Back then, the styling was also different than the El Camino and didn’t resonate with buyers (via Car Survey).
But that’s okay, because the Ranchero has made a resurgence in recent years. The car has become more popular than ever and prices are starting to rise. It’s not difficult to swap out a modern engine and have a unique muscle car that will garner a lot of stares. When it comes to unique Ford models, the Ranchero is at the top of the list.
