Vehicle Description
You can get all the workhorse features you want in a 4x4 pickup -
including a mighty V8 and large bed - and still not have to give up
the cool custom vintage appearance. Best of all, this
attention-grabbing 1976 Ford F-150 Ranger will cost you a ton less
than a brand new 4x4.
The factory-correct Bali Blue has the kind of standout appearance
you would expect from the high-end Ranger. The has been given a
professional respray at least once in its life to make sure this
tough 4x4 retains its bright personality. Plus, one look at the
super-straight body, and it's obvious this wasn't some contractor's
beater. Because this truck was a top trim available in 1976, it
came with all that great brightwork running down sides and across
the tailgate. However, some of your favorite appearance pieces also
add to the truck's usefulness. For example, the diamond plating
along the side of the bed help protect the paint when you utilize
the extra utility of the long bed to the fullest. And the side
steps are a great addition because of the tall 4x4 stance. Plus, we
know that trailer hitch is making you think about all the toys you
can tow with this vintage Ford.
Inside is great period-correct comfort. This is an original blue
interior, and so we like how the exterior color has returned on the
dash. Plus, the darker blue carpets and door panels coordinate
nicely. The vinyl bench seat is now covered in a comfortable cloth.
So it's easy to hop in and go for a ride any time. You'll love all
the originality of the steering wheel, gauges, heat/defrost
controls, and AM/FM stereo. But the best piece you'll love is a
true vintage truck classic feature. On any given day, you can open
the side vent windows, slide the rear glass, and it creates that
perfect breeze that makes you fall in love with vintage pickup
motoring.
This is a big truck, but fortunately, there's a big motor to move
it around. The 360 cubic-inch V8 is a powerful Ford legend. More
than just the nice wallop of power, the V8 has the right look for
an original vehicle, right down to the jack still mounted under the
hood. This is a dual fuel tank vehicle, and when you combine that
with the two-speed 4x4 transfer case, you soon realize this one can
take you further than most other trucks. But even when it's just
running around town this is a great pickup. The four-speed manual
transmission is fun to take full control of the V8. Plus, power
steering and front disc brakes make it easy to drive anywhere.
Complete with owner's manual and original warranty card, this is
that perfect kind of vintage vehicle that is great to show off and
still earns its keep. And at this value price, a mix of fun and
utility won't stay with us long. Call today!!!
