Vehicle Description
This 1969 Ford F-100 Ranger is a truly timeless truck - it seems to
be immune to the ravages of time and greets the present in the same
form it started out with. It's been around long to have witnessed
the dawn of the 1970's and, with some well-executed updates and
conscientious care, it looks great both inside and out, and
performing at the top of its game.
This is, simply put, one very sharp vintage pickup, with a very
fresh-looking Wimbledon white paint job that still feels smooth to
the touch and has a nice shine. It's a broad, capable-looking
truck, and the sturdy frame it sits on has done its job well, as
you'll find no signs of bowing as you examine it from back to front
- just a collection of tight but uniform gaps surrounding the hood
and doors, and long stretches of unusually level trim running along
its sides. Plenty of care has gone into the array of exterior
fittings this Ford carries so, unlike so many vintage pickups, both
the front and back bumpers sit level and are free of any dings, and
the badging on all four sides is at its best - the pair of Ranger
insignias on its sides and the Ford tailgate lettering couldn't
have looked any better when this truck first left the factory.
Exterior functionality also matches its clean look - the doors and
hood open very smoothly and the tailgate raises and lowers without
having to wrestle with its latch.
The same careful attention has been lavished on the inside. A black
vinyl and cloth bench seat is at the center of an interior that's
been refurbished to an impressive condition and appears well-padded
and comfortable and the matching door panels it's flanked by are
nice and tight in their steel frames and feature fresh wooden
inserts. The dash area has likely been restored from scratch - its
smooth, white surface is freshly painted and the array of gauges in
the instrument cluster retain their original design and are
crystal-clear. The row of control knobs just below not only sit
securely in position, but also operate functions that all work just
as intended. The ample size of the bed area in back is an
indication of Ford's intent to arm its prized pickup with the
capacity to handle any payload sent its way. Painted to match the
white of the exterior, it, too, is in great shape, with no damage
to its floor or its pair of wheel wells, with a pair of fresh
chrome rails perched on its side walls.
This F-100 has plenty of firepower under the hood to match its
stellar looks, in the form of a 460 cubic inch V8 that carries a
4-barrel carb on top and has all the stump pulling torque you could
want - you could likely get a trailer up to speed without even
noticing it's behind you. Armed with a pair of chrome Edelbrock
valve covers to enhance its looks and aftermarket headers, a Weiand
intake manifold and a K&N air filter to up its performance even
further, the big block is paired with a 3-speed automatic C6
transmission that shifts very securely. Power steering makes
navigating this generously-sized truck easy, and power brakes at
all four corners give it the low-effort stopping power you'd want
in a frequent driver. This outstanding vintage pickup sits on a set
of 15" stock Ford wheels outfitted with Hankook H714 radials.
With its off the charts vintage curb appeal and strong running
condition, this 1969 Ford F-100 Ranger is a rare find. Call
