For Sale: 1975 Ford F150 in Atlanta, Georgia

UPDATED PRICE AND MORE. MOTIVATED SELLER. 

This Coyote-powered 1975 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT is a long-bed Styleside pickup acquired in 2005 and completely refurbished and modified:

• The body was removed from the frame and all aspects of the vehicle were refurbished or replaced.
• Other than the original metal and bench seat, everything is totally new – drive train, fuel systems, wiring, air conditioning, upholstery, stereo, glass, and all interior and exterior vehicle parts.
• The body was taken down to the metal and painted in black and white. The bed was painted in a color-matched, textured bed liner for durability.
• The color-coordinated interior was re-trimmed in bison leather sourced from a Montana ranch. The leather covers the restored bench seat, door panels, and headliner.

A 2005 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor-sourced differential, suspension, braking components, and steering system were fitted. The steering and handling are precise and a real surprise.

For the real kicker, a brand new 420 horsepower, fuel-injected Coyote 5.0-liter V8, and a Ford 4R70W Street Smart four-speed automatic transmission were installed. The transmission features the Smart Shift transmission controller (no laptop required).

Additional equipment includes a BBK cold-air intake system, a Mishimoto oil cooler and aluminum radiator, Doug’s tubular headers, a sliding rear window, a Kenwood touchscreen infotainment system, a JL Audio sound system, Vintage Air climate-control system, AutoMeter gauges, Wildwood master cylinder, and Viking Performance adjustable rear shocks. Chrome-finished 17″ American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are mounted with 225/55 BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2 A/S tires. One spare wheel and tire included. 

A Kenwood touchscreen stereo (DDX9906XR, bought in 2020) with wireless Apple CarPlay compatibility is linked to a JL Audio subwoofer, amplifier, and two-way component speakers. In this small cab, the sound is incredible. Drive this classic truck through town with Apple Maps guiding your way and Spotify blasting your favorite road-trip playlist.

Other features include a sliding rear window, a rear receiver hitch, a lockable fuel filler, a diamond-plate rear step, a chrome grille surround and bumpers, Western-style mirrors. The cabin was fitted with FatMat insulation for sound and temperature damping. The three-spoke steering wheel is mounted on a Flaming River adjustable steering column, and the engine can be cranked turnkey on the column or by a push-button engine start. There are two USB charging points in the dash.

The truck has been driven 3,000 miles since the renovation, a period that included ongoing refinements, retorquing, and other helpful tweaks to get the kinks out of this truck.

Service performed in preparation for the sale include an oil change, transmission fluid change, a replacement battery, and a complete paint buff-out with two-year ceramic coating was done in mid-January 2022.

Two condition updates since the truck was initially listed for sale (and the reasons for my recent price drop): there is some clouding to the paint on the hood. It buffed out but has returned to some degree. Also, the A/C system seems to require a freon refill from time to time, suggesting a minor system leak. And finally, the headliner sags at times (I am sure it could easily be resprayed). 

My truck is now offered with a clean Georgia title in my name.
