Post 1965 Ranchero

Hey Guys,
I recently got my 1965 Ranchero on the road in the Nsw. Im having some trouble finding people who own rancheros in australia and didnt know if anyone here knows anyone with a ranchero? Or any clubs in the sydney area that a ranchero might kinda fit into to?

Try the Early Falcon Clubs, I believe they welcome the Rancheros because they're basically a long wheelbase version of a falcon ute....

It's basically an American Falcon ute. That particular shape of Ranchero was based on the generation of Falcons that wasn't sold in Australia (In other words, America had a generation of Falcons between the XK-XP shape and the XR-XY shape).
