Youre looking at one cool vintage pickupand#44; thats so well cared forand#44; that the glistening two-tone is actually the original paint! In factand#44; the only major component thats not original is the recently rebuiltand#44; but period-correctand#44; 360ci V8. Oh yeahand#44; this 1972 Ford F100 Ranger is the vintage pickup for fans of true classics. Everyone loves the look of this two-tone green. The Sea Pine is a great 70s era colorand#44; and with it on the lower portion and the roofand#44; it does a nice job of sandwiching in the lighter Wintergreen. And while people will admire your taste in colorsand#44; you get to shock them by saying its the original application. It has been given a careful and thorough buffing recently to bring out the shineand#44; but this is the same paint that was on this F100 when it arrived in the Charlotte area 45 years ago. Yesand#44; this truck was ordered for our district all those decades agoand#44; and you can really tell it has been cared for properly over the years. In factand#44; youll love the details like all that brightwork. These upper-level Rangers carried more trim than some of the Ford cars of the daysand#44; and they looked particularly premium directly from the factory. Todayand#44; all those pieces are still in place and intactand#44; including the wide grilleand#44; chrome bumpersand#44; bed railsand#44; and dual strips that run the entire length of the pickup. Butand#44; theres also no mistaking those nice optional features that range from the period-correct trailer mirrors to the factory hubcaps. They couldnt resist adding the dual exhaust for a little flairand#44; but lets face itand#44; youd do the same. When you open the doorand#44; you soon realize that the exterior two-tone is carried directly to the interior for a great uniform appearance. Wide enough for three across seatingand#44; the cab is surprisingly spaciousand#44; even in this age of extended and crew cab pickups. Andand#44; it feels quite nice thanks to a new seat cover and floor matting. Door panels have the premium padded vinyl that match the rest of the interiorand#44; and have an armrest for long haul comfort. The simple but easy-to-read gauges are arranged ahead of the driverand#44; and seem to be in original conditionand#44; as well as the factory steering wheel. In factand#44; this pickup has a nice original feel right down to the AM/FM radioand#44; heat/defrost controlsand#44; and nicely presented walnut trim pattern. The 360 cubic-inch V8 looks great under the hood with its big blue blockand#44; proper blue Powered by Ford valve coversand#44; and even the blue air cleaner. Its a standout package that looks like its radiating power out of the engine bay. But more than just bold looksand#44; the V8 was rebuilt only about 34K miles ago (although it looks and runs as fresh as it was 34 days ago). This optional larger motor means a sweeter rumble out of the dual exhaustand#44; and it offers extra pulling power if you want to use this vintage Ford to tow the toys. But even just as a cruiserand#44; this pickup is quite appealing. The three-on-the-tree manual transmission gives you all the control you could want over the V8and#44; and the twin I-beam front suspension is the perfect solution for both comfort and strength. The market for vintage F-Series pickups is hot right nowand#44; so the best way to standout is with a very sold truck thats been cared for like a time capsule. And at this priceand#44; you know it will be gone soon. Call today!! |
