Vehicle Description
We're all on the lookout for the shop truck that can secretly smoke
them all. That's part of the real attraction to this 1969 Ford
F-100 Ranger. You'll love that beneath the cool patina is a
performance-built 460ci V8. And this one is actually a fresh
frame-off build, and so it's secretly rewarding in other ways, too
(just look at the suspension!) So dig into all the details on a
very cool custom pickup.
The worn-in look of patina is red hot right now, especially on
trucks. It feels like the friend that's been there through all our
best stories. And this looks like the genuine article where time
has left its mark on the factory Sky View Blue. The whole package
has an authenticity to it because it's a true classic that spent
decades with its first owner. And the upgraded liner paint in the
bed makes it feel like it's still pulling shop truck duty today.
But you'll also notice an overall level of care. That's how a
premium Ranger like this retains its full trim package that gives
this pickup extra distinction. And while most of the truck is
incognito, you see its true charm with the lowered suspension and
the sporty stance that comes from modern alloys with an 18/20-inch
front/rear setup.
Inside is more of that cool truck originality. The wood-like trim
on the dash, wide factory gauges, classic steering wheel, and the
right patina on the metal components all give you that right
old-school feeling. Plus, just like the exterior wheels, you can
spot just the right amount of flair upgraded within this
original-style attitude. There are fresh pieces like the door
panels, dash pad, and bench seat with comfy cloth inserts. And this
one even has the features you really want, like the retro-style
AM/FM stereo and sliding rear glass to let the breezes of the open
road through the cab.
The moment you open the hood, any notion that this is just an
average workday pickup is instantly erased. All the fresh and
polished components instantly tell everyone there was a big
investment in serious power. This is Ford's 460 cubic-inch big
block. It has been internally balanced, and it's enhanced and
fortified for big power. This includes Super Cobra Jet aluminum
heads, a Lunati Cam, upgraded rocker arms, a fresh air intake, a
four-barrel carburetor, and an Edelbrock Intake. You'll also spot
good supporting components like the MSD Street Fire ignition and an
aluminum radiator with an electric fan. The long tube headers mean
this one fires up with added power and thunder. The C6 three-speed
automatic transmission was built to be stout, and it feeds a 9-inch
Moser rear end with Detroit TruTrac 3.25 gears. The cleanliness of
the undercarriage reveals the true freshness of this build. And
you'll also spot suspension upgrades like the final-gen Crown Vic
independent front end and a four-link rear. Add in the power
steering, power brakes, front discs, and modern sport tires, and
this patina'd truck feels like quite a powerful and confident
classic.
The sale comes complete with build receipts, service manuals,
owner's manual, and the original title from the long-term first
owner who helped cultivate the true patina style. This is a great
all-around build with a cool custom attitude. Call today!!!
