Vehicle Description
How often do you get to find a truck that's a well-presented
survivor? That's why we know you're excited about this 1974 Ford
F-100 Explorer with its original bold red paint, matching red
interior, powerful V8, and possibly even original mileage. And then
you check out the affordable price, and you realize that this
amazing survivor is also an increasable deal.
Everyone loves the look of this factory-correct Bright Red. Some
people might even ask you if you borrowed this bold color from the
Mustang (because Ford sure did!) We believe this to be the original
application, and so the amount of luster that's retained after four
decades really highlights the level of care the whole truck
received. The sheetmetal is exceptionally straight, and even the
workman's bed looks nice, too. The first impression this Ford gives
is truly worth the asking price alone. But then you start to notice
all the great details - like the brightwork with the wide grille,
chrome bumpers, and trim strip that runs the entire length of the
pickup. But, there's also no mistaking those nice optional features
that range from the period-correct swing-out mirrors, to the
Explorer hood ornament, to the factory hubcaps. And the finishing
touch is the cool white stripe package that gets this attractive
pickup even more attention. Everything you want on this truck is
complete and correct, just as the day it left the factory - and we
even have the window sicker to prove it!
If you loved how the exterior looked fantastically original, then
you'll enjoy the interior even more. After all, the full red
experience is continued inside. And just like the exterior, too,
you get a hint of white one the door panels. There has been
protective plastic laid over the bench seat and carpeting, so it
really looks like a time capsule under there - and it's all
believed to be the same that Ford installed 40 years ago. This one
even came loaded for its time with cool features like the
AM/FM/8-track stereo that's still cranking out tunes. There's even
factory air conditioning. When you slip behind the dual spoke
factory wheel, the way this feels fresh and complete will make you
easily believe that the 23,317 miles on the odometer could be
actual. And when you do want to add miles to this one, all your
gauges are crisp, clear, and ready to roll.
The 351 cubic-inch V8 looks great under the hood with its big blue
block, bright air cleaner, and all those factory-style details. So
we believe it is all original. This one has that perfect appearance
where the workman attitude meets the survivor-grade presentation
(even the jack is still in place!) 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.
Complete with the original bill of sale, owner's manual, and window
sticker, it's going to be a while before you find a better
survivor. And by then you'll likely pay at least twice as much. So
don't miss your opportunity. Call today!!!
