From 1968 to 1978, General Motors rolled out the Ranger, proudly touting it as South Africa’s very own car. A fusion of General Motors’ various offerings, the Ranger borrowed aspects from different models. Its body shell echoes the Opel Rekord, while the Vauxhall Victor FD grille and internal components were inspired by diverse large Vauxhalls and Holdens. Our featured vehicle is powered by a 1900cc engine, its potency harnessed by a rare 4-speed manual gearbox. Such a combination is a rarity, making this find even more special.
In terms of styling, the frontal design nods to the FD Victor. The exterior boasts original green paint complemented by a vinyl top. Inside, the tan interior retains its originality, complete with a 1970s radio. Car enthusiasts hold a special place for originality, and we proudly present such a gem. While this vehicle may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it surely holds stories waiting to be told by its fortunate owner. These cars encapsulate the pure joy and exhilaration of pressing the pedal to the metal, acting as a time machine that transports you back to the thrill of your childhood days.
This vehicle is currently a non-runner and is a project car that would need to be worked on to bring back to a driveable state.
