Vehicle Description
The investments in this 1977 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT were all about
retaining a V8 vintage machine that has all the right comforts and
still feels like rolling nostalgia. So if you love a true classic,
keep reading about this two-tone pickup.
The Wimbledon White and Light Blue two-tone is the factory-correct
color combo that has been resprayed later in life to give you a
quality gloss that looks good in the sunshine. In fact, there has
been a solid investment all around this truck in the last few
years. It's said to have a cab-off restoration, and today it has a
new chrome grille surround, new headlights, new tail lights, and a
polished chrome front bumper to really add to the distinction. As
an upper-level Ranger XLT, the full trim package is a premium
feature that provides a distinct dividing line for the two colors
along the body while also drawing extra attention to the good sheet
metal. But as pretty as this is, it's still a useful long bed
pickup, too. That's why you have towing mirrors, a rear step
bumper, a spray-in bedliner, dual fuel tanks, and a locking
toolbox.
The interior continues the blue and white two-tone. Also just like
the exterior, it's an attractive mix of vintage and the right
investments. For example, you have a fresh and comfy textured cloth
on the bench seat that looks correct, right down to the insignia
trim on the seatbacks. The door panels, headliner, dash pad, and
carpeting all have a quality look to make this a nice place to
spend some time. The whole package keeps a stock look, right down
to the premium wood-like trim and working dome light. But this also
was built to be a cruiser that keeps you comfortable in modern
times. That's why you have desirable features, like the beginning
provisions for air conditioning, a tilt steering column, and a
Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo.
Under the hood is Ford's hardy 351 cubic-inch V8. It has quite a
tidy presentation, and we were told this was part of an engine
rebuild in 2019. Plus, the Holley four-barrel carburetor was only
rebuilt last month. The V8 fires up readily and makes a nice tune
out of the glasspack style exhaust. Plus, with a three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes w/discs up
front, and newer suspension components, this is the classic pickup
you won't mind driving near or far.
The sale comes complete with the Marti Report and owner's manual.
It's a well-respected classic with the right investments everywhere
to make it both a terrific and useful classic. Call today!!!
