Vehicle Description
This 1977 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT truly defines old school cool for
pickups. And this appearance is no mistake. It's a truck that has
been cherished by one owner all its life - with investment in the
motor, A/C, and more. So it has been honed to have the ideal mix of
work, play, and overall respect.
The two-tone Indio Tan and Medium Copper is such a cool retro color
combo, and this truck was born this way. There was a respray later
in life to keep its luster, but it still gives you that great '70s
charm. Because the Ranger XLT was a top trim available in 1977, it
also came with all that great bright work trim separating the
colors on the sides, roof, and tailgate. Beyond the distinctive
paint, there's an overall appeal to the truck that comes from
features that are designed to grab attention while also out to
enhance function. You see it on bright work like the wide tow
mirrors, 15-inch wheels, and large step rear bumper with trailer
ball and electric hookup right below it. Plus, features like the
color-matched side steps and large Warn winch add even more to this
useful and striking total package. You've probably also noticed
this has the added function of a long bed pickup. So it's
especially nice that the sale also comes with a (removable) full
camper top and camping accessories. This really drives home the
old-school appeal and even lets you use this classic for a night
under the stars.
Just like the outside, it's very factory-correct inside with some
nice updates. The insignia trim on the bench seat, '70s-style
plushness in the carpeting, and the wood trim around the dash all
give this a very period-correct flair. But this truck is also about
enjoying in modern times, too. That's why there is a removable arm
rest center console with cup holders, an upgraded tach, and the
AM/FM/CD stereo is there to give you the best in modern tunes. And
because this was optioned with a rare factory sunroof, you'll be
glad the air conditioning has been upgraded to modern R134a. That
way you can let the sunshine in while still remaining cool.
Under the hood the motor looks quite correct, but also quite fresh.
And that's for a very good reason. The V8 was replaced with a
correct 351 cubic-inch unit less than 2,300 miles ago. This
connects to the correct C6 three-speed automatic transmission on
its way to the 2.72 rear end. So you have a truck with fresher V8
power and good highway gears. If that sounds like a recipe for a
fine cruiser, then you'll also like to know this has power steering
and power brakes w/discs up front.
This one-owner truck also comes with the right paperwork, like the
original warranty card, owner's manual, and maintenance records
from over four decades of ownership. This is the cool and treasured
pickup that's offered right now for an exceptional price. So don't
miss your chance, call today!
