A little-known and extremely rare offering in 1969 was the Rio Grande.

It’s hot. it’s handsome…. and it’s here! Ford produced approx. 900 of the Rio Grande in 3 different colors. A little-known and extremely rare offering in 1969 was the Rio Grande. Available on special order. this was essentially a GT in the so-called “Grabber” colors of “Wimbledon White”. “Poppy Red” or “Calypso Coral”. partially blacked-out hood with scoop. side stripes. bed rails. vinyl top and unique “Ford Ranchero Rio Grande” wheel centers. As a result. Rancheros so equipped received Ford’s “Special Performance Vehicle” identification on the data plate regardless of engine choice. These vehicles may be identified by the aforementioned designation. as well as a blank space where the trim code would normally be found. With many uncommon features. this Ranchero Rio Grande came from the factory with a 351-cid Cleveland V-8 engine and is matched to an FMX automatic transmission.
