ABOUT THE 6th Generation Ranchero
In 1972, a radical change occurred in the Torino and Ranchero lines. The sleek, pointy look of the previous years model was replaced with a larger, heavier design. Most prominent was a wide semioval grille reminiscent of a jet intake and a new body-on-frame design. Three models were still available; the now-standard 500, the new Squire with simulated woodgrain paneling along the flanks, and the sporty GT. Engine choices remained basically the same beginning with the 250 cubic-inch six-cylinder and a selection of V8s that ranged from the standard 302 to Cleveland and Windsor series 351s, plus the new-for-1972 400. The 385-series V8 (the 429 for 197273; the 460 for 197476) was still available. However, all suffered from lower compression ratios to better meet new emissions standards. The 351 cu in (5.8 L) Cleveland could still be obtained in tuned 4-V Cobra Jet form through to 1974. A four-speed manual transmission was available on Cobra Jet-powered models GT, Squire and 500.
