Vehicle Description
This 1979 Ford F-100 Ranger has been given the right investments to
retain a great classic presentation, proper V8 power, and a comfy
A/C interior. So you can get all the workhorse features you want in
a pickup, and still not have to give up the cool vintage
appearance.
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-100 pickup.
The unique square headlight front end and premium full-length
Ranger trim give this an instant distinction. The two-tone brown
and cream capture the colors of the era correctly. This was an
update later in life, and today it strikes the right balance of a
good gloss that shows off the straight body panels, and at the same
time, it has a driver-ready attitude that reminds you real pickups
are made to be enjoyed. You especially see that attitude in the
rear with the upgraded step bumper with a space to put a trailer
ball. And the full plastic bed liner can protect the steel from big
loads, and the bright tie-down cleats can help to secure them.
The brown and cream attitude continues inside. The fundamentals are
well done with newer investment in the door panels, carpeting,
headliner, dash pad, and comfy cloth bench seat. There are even
well-placed modern amenities, like cold-blowing R134a air
conditioning and an AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input for your iPod.
While properly upgraded, we like how the dual-spoke steering wheel
and gauges still have the right feeling and appearance to remind
you that you're in a classic pickup.
Under the hood is the stock style 351 cubic-inch V8. It has the
right look of a hardy workhorse that has also been given the right
care over the years. The way it fires up and runs reaffirms the
feeling of proper respect. The V8 has plenty of torque to make
light work of any time you use this for a Home Depot run. Plus, the
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power front
disc brakes are handy features for everyday use.
This is a true vintage machine that does everything a classic truck
should, including looking terrific when it arrives. Don't miss this
