Model Specific Perfect Fit Smart Series

 

A/C, Heat and Defrost. For Non-Factory Air Vehicles

This model specific Perfect Fit Smart Series Kit allows you to retrofit an original, standard, 1965 Ford Ranchero with upgraded full air-conditioning, heat and dehumidified defrost. Our 1965 Ranchero Kit is engineered specifically to use our Patent Pending Direct Electronic Replacement controller (D.E.R)….which gives you a brand new, plug-n-play control that fits right into the OEM location with no modifications! This fully electric Perfect Fit Smart Series A/C kit uses our Smart ECU and Simplified Wiring System to allow infinite adjustability over all modes, providing you with powerful air conditioning, heat on the floor, and dehumidified defrost.

Installation’s a Breeze!

The 65 Ranchero Perfect Fit Smart Series air conditioning system is designed specifically to bolt into your 65 Ranchero. Each kit comes with detailed, easy-to-follow installation instructions and mounting template.

Not Just Aftermarket Air Conditioning!

Classic Auto Air’s Perfect Fit Smart Series model specific systems are not your typical, one-size-fits-all, low-quality, aftermarket air conditioning system. Every component was chosen for its superior design and quality rather than a low cost. Our RETROFIT designs give OE quality combined with better than original performance and reliability.

The Perfect Fit Smart Series 65 Ranchero air conditioning system is engineered to fit a 65 Ranchero. It comes equipped with carefully sized, large, separate A/C and Heat coils just like factory (OE) systems, not combined A/C, Heat coils often found on aftermarket systems. By using separate coils we improve the cooling and heating capacity of the total system. This increases the total efficiency of the A/C System by making the vehicle interior cooler much faster than other systems on the market.

SPAL FANS

State of the art High Output OEM style blower assemblies with internal heat sink speed controllers for thermal protection. Excellent air volume with less electrical amperage. This is very important when installing on older vehicles where the electrical systems are not upgraded to modern standards.

These designs are used today on modern vehicles to reduce head pressures and to transfer heat more efficiently. With dozens of custom sizes and shapes available we tailor fit each one to your specific vehicle, making it a “Perfect Fit”.
