For Sale: 1973 Ford F100 in Lithia Springs, Georgia

This 1973 Ford F-100 Ranger has a clean style, cool colors, V8 power, and nice features. So it's an attractive classic even if you didn't know part of its barn find story.

We tend to get attached to the right trucks, and this one is a great reminder. We're told this was hidden away for nearly 15 years after the owner passed and his wife stored the truck. So it's a bit of a barn find story, but you can also tell it was not just left in some shed. He was a long-term owner who respected his truck, and so the wife kept that tradition. You can tell by the way the black paint still has a good shine, the chrome bumpers have a nice shine, and the premium Ranger trim looks clean and complete hanging on this good sheet metal. Overall, it's attractive but far from perfect, which is what makes it so cool. After all, you get a good-looking glossy pickup that also has the right look that makes it easy to play show-and-tell with its history.

The interior has the true classic truck feel with a well-worn dual-spoke steering wheel, rugged vinyl floor, and a bright/airy single cab. There are nice updates like a bold red bench seat with comfy cloth inserts, and the headliner was redone to match. This is also set up for air conditioning, including a newer compressor, but it will need servicing to function again.

Under the hood is a later upgrade to a 302 cubic-inch V8. The clean style proves the truck was resurrected correctly from its multi-year slumber, and the investments prove this, too. It was thoroughly inspected and given items like a newer fuel filter, fuel lines, hoses, and a battery. Plus, it was topped with a Brawler four-barrel carburetor. The V8 fires up eagerly, and the tune of the dual exhaust lets you know this motor has a nice cam in it. And it's a solid driver with the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, updated power brakes with front discs, and newer General Grabber tires.

This is a cool classic with a great story. So you know it makes for the kind of pickup you want to add your own chapter to its history. Call today!!!
