Vehicle Description
For all of us who are looking for a time capsule, here's a true
vintage dream truck. This 1979 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT has been given
the right investments to retain a great classic presentation,
proper V8 power, and a comfy A/C interior.
You just don't see trucks like this anymore. 1979 was the last, and
arguably the best year for this classic style of the F-150 pickup.
The two-tone Light Blue and Wimbledon White is a later application
with a terrific modern clearcoat shine. Still, it gives warm
feeling of an F-Series truck of an even older vintage. Plus, all
the highly stylized brightwork trim makes for a nice dividing line
for the two-tone while also highlighting how straight the body
panels are. So it gives off the look of a well-respected pickup
from a bygone era. But despite 1950s era colors, the younger age
means this truck still has a lot of practical daily use left in it.
In fact, look inside the bed. It has color-matched liner paint for
so it always looks good AND it's always ready for whenever you want
to pull real truck duty.
The blue and white exterior attitude is taken to a new level
inside. You'll first notice the seat with a textured white cover
and cool multi-tone blue cloth insert. It coordinates nicely with
the door panel inserts, as well as the dash and door tops that are
painted the exterior blue. They took their time with the upgrades,
and so they are well-integrated in places like the retro-style
AM/FM stereo with aux input for your iPod. This also has recently
serviced modern R134a air conditioning. But let's face it, on a
truck like this you want to get your breezes the old-school way.
That's why you have side vent windows and a sliding rear glass.
More of the carefully preserved presentation is under the hood. The
302 cubic-inch V8 is believed to be original, and it has a tidy
look of a proper investment. It was even given a tune up this year.
It has nice details, right down to the jack that's still mounted to
the inner fender. As good as this looks, deep down this is a
workhorse. The V8 has plenty of grunt to make light work of any
task you throw at it. Plus, the three-speed automatic, power
steering, and power front disc brakes are handy features for
everyday use.
The sale comes complete with the Marti Report, owner's manual, and
maintenance records. This is a true vintage machine that does
everything a classic truck should, including looking terrific when
it arrives. Don't miss this deal, call today!
