17 Nov 1 Bad Baja!
A side, but important measure of why Rancho has been so successful is the fact that our technicians practice what they preach. They are die hard automotive enthusiasts who not only build the world’s finest transaxles while on duty, but also build awesome street, strip, off road and sporting machines. The latest example of one of these very cool and extremely serious machines in progress is Leno Iniguez’s brutal ’67 based Baja.
