Honesty, survivor-grade care, two-tone appeal, and plenty of V8
power all come together to deliver the kind of classic truck that
strikes an ideal balance of vintage and useful. So take a closer
look at this 1972 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT, because there's a lot to
love.
This truck has a very original style, and it starts with the paint.
The factory-correct Swiss Aqua and Wimbledon White have a terrific
classic vibe. It has the ideal look of good care with a hint of
patina that makes us suspect it could be the original application.
These upper-level Rangers carried more trim than some of the Ford
cars of the day, and they looked particularly premium directly from
the factory. Today, all those pieces are still in place, including
the wide grille, chrome bumpers, and dual strips that run the
entire length of the pickup. And speaking of the full-length trim,
it even has the classic wood-like insert that matches the one in
the tailgate. It has the quality look of a well-kept life, and this
feeling is reaffirmed in the details - everything from the way
doors close smoothly to the working cargo light. And the dual fuel
tanks, wide trailering mirrors, and long bed are all reminders that
this F-100 still knows how to get down to business.
The interior keeps this highly original and well-appointed look.
The correct black bench seat has comfy cloth inserts, and this
coordinates nicely with the door panels. It all goes well with the
walnut wood-like trim inserts on the door panels, dash, and
steering wheel. While this has a very vintage feeling, right down
to the gauges, there are also some great upgrades for enjoying the
drive. This includes cruise control, an upgraded AM/FM/cassette
stereo, digital dash clock, and provisions for air
conditioning.
Ford's 390 cubic-inch V8 is a terrific motor, and this one has the
same look of honesty we've seen through the rest of this truck. So
it shows all the right signs of being the original motor. And just
like the rest of this pickup, it's received the right care to be a
strong motor that fires up readily. The dual exhaust makes a nice
low rumble to remind you of true V8 power. Plus, it's an easy
driver with the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
and power brakes.
The sale of this well-preserved pickup also comes with great
paperwork, like the original warranty card, dealer invoice, owner's
manual, and more. This one combines originality, great features,
and two-tone appeal into one great deal. Call today!!!
