🔥 1968 Ford Ranchero GT — 390 V8 🔥

This one is a serious piece of Ford history! 🇺🇸

A beautifully finished 1968 Ford Ranchero GT, powered by a 390 V8, with the classic black-on-chrome look that never gets old. From the sharp body lines and GT trim to the big-block under the hood, this Ranchero is one awesome ride. 🖤

Built with attitude, backed by horsepower, and ready to turn heads wherever it goes. 💪

🔥 2016 Subaru WRX Engine Swap Complete! 🔥

Another major project is officially back on the road!

This 2016 Subaru WRX came to us needing an engine replacement. After removing the failed engine, installing the replacement, and carefully reassembling and testing everything, it’s ready to hit the road again.

Projects like this take more than just swapping parts—they require attention to detail, proper procedures, and making sure everything is right before the keys go back to the customer.

First test drive in who knows how long! 🚗💨

This beautiful 1949 Chevy Deluxe came to us after being purchased in non-running condition. After diagnosing the issues, we got the ignition and fuel systems sorted out, and now she's back where she belongs—on the road.

There's nothing quite like bringing a classic back to life. Thanks for trusting Built Not Bought Auto Repair & Customs with this piece of automotive history!
