Vehicle Description
Ability and style are expertly mixed on this 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger
Lariat. After all, it's a sleek metallic two-tone classic loaded
with features. And it also has a ton of real truck practicality
with its tall 4x4 stance, winch, big bed, serious V8 power, and so
much more.
If you're a truck person, we know you already like this one a lot,
because you just don't see too many of the serious F-250s from this
era anymore. After all, most were purchased for industrial-strength
duty and got used up quickly. But this example is the exact
opposite. You understand that the moment you see the light reflect
off the modern clearcoat paint. This is a distinct silver and green
two-tone with a hint of metallic element to really draw added
attention. It gives off the kind of shine that shows this classic
sheetmetal is straight and crisp. According to the Marti Report,
this is the color combo this truck was born in! This is only 1 of
18 made with this paint/trim code. Plus, you get more great
original-style touches like the top running lights that came on
these heavier duty models like the F-250. And this lifted truck has
plenty of shine with the grille, bumpers, premium trim, and
upgraded Weld wheels. But this classic is also still a workhorse -
after all, it's a long bed F-250! And you get great integrated
upgrades, like the Warn winch up front, bright step boards along
the sides, bed rails, and roll bar on the back with bright aux
lights. You even have a tow hitch with proper wiring plug to bring
even more fun with you.
The same two-tone color theme continues inside for a very cool
look. We especially like the seat that has a the green and silver
intertwined and a comfy button-top cloth insert. As you continue to
look around the inside, you'll see the full package nicely mixes
classic style with upgrades. There's vintage features, like the
classic dash and wood-like premium trim. There are also the modern
upgrades you really want, like power windows and air conditioning
(needs servicing). And just in case you didn't already get a few
monster truck vibes from this custom Ford, Dennis Anderson (of
Grave Digger fame) signed the dash!
This truck was born with a 400 cubic-inch V8 according to the Marti
Report, so it's great to see it still in the engine bay. It has
performance upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and
Holley Street Dominator intake. It also has the nice look
investment that you want in hard-working truck, including fresh
belts, wires, and hoses, as well as dual batteries. This 4x4 has
plenty of off-road ability with the two-speed transfer case, tall
stance, and Mickey Thompson Baja tires. And the power steering,
power brakes w/discs up front, and three-speed automatic
transmission are always welcomed no matter if you are on the street
or trail.
A sleek and original presentation meets true 4x4 power... this is
everything you want in a classic pickup. So a total package like
this is sure to be leaving us soon. Don't miss out, call today!
