Welcome to the forum

Google: Ford SkyRanger

I think there were only 17 made in 1991, all were 4WD I think

Found article here: https://therangerstation.com/Magazin...kyranger.shtml

These were the only "factory" convertibles, and no they were not V8s

Ford did sell Ranger GT models in mid/late 1980's, 2.9l V6 with anti-roll suspension and limited slip rear axle, only came in red, white, or blue paint colors, no green, chrome was painted as well, some years had ground effect trims
Still no V8

Ford did build 2 prototype Rangers with V8s, for auto shows, to see reaction for future sales, but one caught fire, engine bay, which put a hold on that direction and they never returned to it
The Ford Explorer did get a V8 option in 1996, but Rangers never did

But that doesn't mean a Custom shop didn't build what you saw and Dealer was showcasing and selling them to attract buyers for other Rangers or Fords in general

Roush does alot of custom Ford modifications, very very nice stuff, but they started in 1995
