Vehicle Description
Every vintage pickup was once a workhorse, so each has a story to
tell. And right now you're looking at one with its big original V8,
A/C interior, and an interesting history. So the one you really
want not only looks great, but in the case of this 1976 Ford F-100
Ranger XLT, also has unique tale to share with your friends.
The factory-correct code-U Glen Green is a terrific color to
represent this era. And because the Ranger XLT was a top trim
available in 1976, it came with all that great brightwork like the
stainless body line moldings, ornate tailgate, and the rocker
moldings that wrap up and continue to the wheel opening moldings.
Plus, that big chrome bumper and upgraded grille really do put this
Ford's best face forward. However, this truck's appearance is also
built for function. For example, the shiny bed rails not only make
this pickup ready for the show field on Saturday, but it can also
hold down your Home Depot run on Sunday. And the bright towing
mirrors and tow hitch bumper add plenty of utility. One look at the
super-straight body, and it's obvious this wasn't some contractor's
beater... but there's an even deeper story of owner loyalty. Take a
look at the trim tag. This Ford was order by district 22 -
Charlotte, North Carolina. So over 40 years later, this pickup is
still selling out of its home district.
If you enjoyed the green exterior, then you'll love the interior
even more. This is a correct green presentation, but the bench seat
with comfortable cloth inserts feel like a nice upgrade. The same
goes for the matching door panels. Plus, the Grant GT wood and
chrome steering wheel gives you some sporty flair. But even with
all these upgrades, the cab still feels quite stock. That's because
many of your favorite features of this loaded interior are being
quite stealthy. After all, it's hard to first recognize the newer
retrosound AM/FM stereo with digital tuner, and you'll only feel
the upgrade to modern R134a air conditioning when its keeping the
cabin cold.
The big 360 cubic-inch V8 looks quite honest under the hood with
its big blue block, matching blue air cleaner, and factory-style
decals. This one has that perfect appearance where the workman
attitude meets the survivor-grade presentation (even the jack is
still in place!) That's why you'll also be glad to know this is
believed the be the original powerplant for this F-100. A truck
this nice deserves to be taken out for leisurely drives, and so it
also was optioned correctly to be comfortable on the road. With a
three-speed automatic transmission, twin I-beam front suspension,
power steering, and front disc brakes, this is a great anytime
classic.
This loaded F-100 is turnkey ready for all-day work or play. How
many classics can you say that about today for under $20K? That's
