Vehicle Description
On the outside this is a beautiful vintage pickup; on the inside
you have A/C comfort; and under the hood you have screaming 428
Cobra Jet V8 power. Oh yeah, this 1972 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT is the
premium vintage pickup with a big V8 surprise!
The factory-correct Candyapple Red paint on this truck is that
great kind of color that was made legendary by cool cruising Fords
like the Mustang. So it can be taken as a subtle hint at what's
waiting for you under the hood. But really, with the solid
investment in a recent paint application and the white roof, this
one just has that perfect old pickup shine. Speaking of shine, the
top-of-the-line Ranger XLT trim is easily seen in places like the
bright trim that runs from front to back, and below that, the
stainless rocker and wheel well moldings. This one even still has
the correct wood side trim and high-gloss wood panel tailgate -
it's a true preservation master! So while you're enjoying
brightwork like the big chrome bumpers and bed side rails, don't
forget to appreciate how unmolested this truck looks - right down
to the factory wheel covers.
The moment you open the door, this pickup gives off the premium
impression a Ranger XLT should. The full red package starts with
the bench seat that provides comfortable cloth for where you site
and durable vinyl for the high traffic areas. This factory-correct
presentation looks fantastic, and you just don't see seats like
this anymore. The same goes for the door panels and dash that both
retain their factory red look, as well as plenty of correct premium
wood panel trim. You'll slip behind the factory steering wheel,
gaze over the factory gauges, and even the factory AM radio is
still on display - starting to get the picture on how factory
correct this one is? While the factory air conditioning is still
keeping you nice and cool, we know your favorite breezes will come
from opening the side vent windows and sliding the rear glass. Not
only does this give you a great old-school truck feeling, but you
also get to hear the dual exhaust growl even better.
If all you did was casually glance under the hood, you might think
this is the factory motor. After all, it's just as well sorted as
the rest of the pickup, and it has the correct bold blue block and
matching air topper. But when you hear this one rumble with
authority, you know it's a special V8. In fact, the story on this
truck is that a guy who worked at a Ford dealer took the 428
cubic-inch Cobra Jet out of a cop car and installed it under the
hood of his truck. So now you have pursuit-level power in a very
incognito package. This monster motor has even been upgraded
further with a Holley four-barrel carburetor. Out on the road, the
power steering and Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 provide the tight
control. But what you'll really enjoy is how the three-on-the-tree
manual transmission combines the old-school truck feel with
complete control over this muscle car motor.
This one has a terrific look, terrific packaging, and a terrific
growl. So it's amazing it's all available now for such an
affordable price. Don't miss out, call today! Call now!
