For Sale: 1978 Ford F100 in Concord, North Carolina

Every vintage pickup was once a workhorse and each has a story to tell. So the one you really want not only still looks good, but in the case of this 1978 Ford F-100 Ranger, also has unique tale to share with your friends.


In the 70s, the Ranger package meant an upgraded and very stylish pickup. This one is complete with the stainless body line moldings that really showcase the straightness of this styleside pickup. Plus, mirror-like bumpers, bright wheel arch moldings, and upgraded Pacer wheels make for a terrific shining package. But our favorite piece of bright work is probably the shining headlight surrounds. It draws attention to the square headlights that were only offered for a couple of years on the iconic sixth-gen F-series. It's all seen quite vividly thanks to the factory-correct Raven Black paint that's used for a backdrop. One look at the super-straight body, and it's very 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 ordered by district 22 - Charlotte, North Carolina. So it's 40 years later, and this pickup is still selling out of its home region.


Inside, the red looks nice against the exterior black, and the Ranger's wood paneling gives it a classic upscale charm. Plus, you have great modern upgrades like cup holders and an AM/FM/CD stereo with an aux input for the most modern music players. The bench set feel comfortable as you slip behind the wood and chrome steering wheel. This gives you a commanding view of all the factory gauges as well as the road ahead.


Ford's reliable and powerful 302 cubic-inch V8 is ready for you under the hood. It has a bit of flair thanks to the bright air topper and Mickey Thompson valve covers. Plus, the inhales deeply through a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority from the dual exhaust. The full package feels nice on the road thanks to the C6 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and Ford's twin I-beam front suspension. Plus, you have the added road holding of front disc brakes and Cooper Cobra tires at all four corners.


This vintage F-100 is turn-key ready for all-day work or play. It's a great classic truck that has a story to tell, and you get to write the next chapter. So don't delay, call today!
