Vehicle Description
We love a cool classic truck with the right features and a
ready-to-work attitude. That's what's so appealing about this 1979
Ford F-100 Ranger XLT Lariat. It has a vintage presentation
everywhere you look on the outside. But the interior has been given
the right tasteful upgrades to be a comfortable A/C cruiser. And
it's all done for a great price.
The vintage look of this one starts with the paint. It was
converted from blue and white to all blue decades ago, and so it
has had time to settle in correctly. So everyone will just assume
it's the original application, and we won't tell if you won't.
Another reason why people will assume it's such a nice survivor is
the overall condition of the truck. You have straight body panels
that are especially highlighted by the premium XLT Lariat's
full-length trim. You have some later additions like the alloy
wheels, tailgate trim, and rear step bumper, but that just adds to
the mystique of a truck people have been enjoying for decades.
Plus, you'll really love that it never loses its useful pickup
skills. The tonneau cover lifts up to reveal a bed liner, so you
can pull real truck duty and still look good. And the proper
trailer hitch with plug makes this one the coolest vehicle at the
boat ramp or campsite.
Open the door to a nicely done interior. The bench seat has plush
inserts for where you sit, and it feels great because this was just
installed. The stock steering wheel gives you a commanding view of
the road and the gauges. And as you look across the dash, you'll
spot an upgraded AM/FM/CD radio w/aux input for your iPod. It hooks
up to a subwoofer stereo system. Even with all these upgrades, your
favorite feature is likely the sliding rear window. It combines
with the side vent glass to deliver old-school breezes through the
cab. And whenever that's not cool enough, there's also R134a air
condition to keep you comfortable.
Under the hood is proper blue oval power. This 302 cubic-inch V8
was an upgrade later in life, so you have a smooth runner in Ford's
historically stout motor. It drives out nicely, and the three-speed
automatic transmission makes for an easy operation. Plus, features
like power steering and power brakes w/discs up front are all part
of a package that makes a classic that can take the miles with
ease.
This Ford has a very classic presentation, and yet, you still don't
give up any comfort for that vintage feeling. That's why it's such
an irresistible pickup. Call today!!!
