Vehicle Description
This 1979 Ford F-150 Ranger is exactly what we all want in a
vintage pickup. Great paint, an upgraded custom interior, a
powerful V8, four on the floor, low mileage, and 4x4 prowess. So
dig deep into all the features, because this one keeps impressing
you more the longer you look at it.
The red paint seems like the perfect color for an attention-grabber
like this one. It has a nice modern gloss and shine that gives it a
bolder touch to this classic. Plus, the silver center section and
roof are not only a great complement to the sporty red, but it also
highlights the straightness of the body. These Fords are quite
popular because they combine the square-jawed tough appeal with
some nice brightwork. That's why the mirror-like appearance of
chrome bumpers and grille help complement the glossy paint,
especially out in the sunshine. Plus, the complete Ranger trim, bed
rails, and addition of 15-inch polished wheels really lets you know
this is a shining star. But as cool at the presentation is, this
pickup still knows how to get to work. After all, the bed has
plenty of space to haul home your weekend chores, the lifted 4x4
stance adds versatility, and the rear chrome step bumper has space
for a trailer ball.
Open the door and you'll again see even more great investments. It
starts with a custom two-tone red and black seat. This color theme
is continued on the doors, floor mats, and dash for a uniform
custom presentation. There's even a custom overhead console that
houses your modern AM/FM/CD stereo. Plus, the gripp three-spoke
sports steering wheel is the perfect complement to the tall
floor-mount stick shift to give you a great sporty feeling. But as
much as we love the upgrades, nothing beats opening the vent
windows and sliding the rear glass to let the old-school breezes
fill the cab in this vintage pickup.
Powering this pickup is Ford's trusty 351 cubic-inch V8. It has
been enhanced with a host of performance goodies such as an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and headers
that add power while feeding the wicked-sounding dual exhaust. But
beyond upgraded power, it looks particularly nice within the
painted engine bay with the chrome air topper, matching valve
covers, and newer belts and hoses. Basically, it's ready for the
car show, except you're likely going to want to get dirty on the
way there. That's because when you look at the undercarriage
photos, it's hard to resist taking this one off the pavement. With
newer radius arms up front, newer bushings, newer shocks, General
Graber tires, and a versatile two-speed transfer case, this is a
terrific 4x4. Of course, for the days you just want to go to the
hardware store, the four-speed manual transmission, power steering,
and front disc brakes all mean this truck can run around town with
ease.
This vintage F-150 is turn-key ready for all-day work or play. How
many classics can do all that and look this good? Call today!!!
