Vehicle Description
This this 1972 Ford F-100 Ranger has the classic two-tone
appearance and a correct 302 V8 under the hood that make it an
attractive package. And that only gets better with a value
price.
The terrific two-tone combination of the factory-correct Sequoia
Brown and Tampico yellow will instantly catch your eye. These
earthy colors and the way they are intertwined on this pickup just
have that ideal 1970s vintage look. The truck was resprayed later
in life so that it retains a nice gloss today, but it's nothing too
fancy where some people may even suspect it's original. In fact,
the heart of this pickup's appeal is in its terrific stock style
presentation. The super-straight sheetmetal is especially
noticeable thanks to the premium Ranger's full-length trim. Chrome
bumpers, complete trim, and FoMoCo turbine-style wheel covers all
have the hint of originality that make this look and feel like a
time capsule.
The interior retains a very stock look from the armrests in the
door to the Ranger's wood-like trim. The right fundamentals are
there, like a well-done bench seat. While there might be a few
inexpensive upgrades you may want to make for yourself, they left
most of the stock pieces in place, just so that you can decide if
you want to upgrade rather than having to track down stock pieces
like the steering wheel. One upgrade that was already made was the
retro-style AM/FM digital tuner with cassette. After all, a cool
cruising pickup needs the right driving tunes.
The engine bay continues this truck's honest and stock
presentation. This one received the optional 302 cubic-inch V8 at
the factory, and that correct displacement is still in the engine
bay. While the motor has the first impression of an untouched time
capsule, the way it fires up readily and runs strong reveals its
well-maintained true nature. There's even an upgraded four-barrel
carburetor on top for added pep. The column-shifted three-speed
manual transmission gives you an old-school feel while also giving
you firm control over the V8. Plus, there are some nice additions
like a newer muffler and modern Hankook cruising tires.
This is truck has a lot of vintage appeal in a very driver-ready
package. So if you're looking for that true classic V8 pickup
feeling, don't let this Ford slip away. Call today!!!
