This awesome 1969 Ford Ranger pickup has lived its entire life with just one family and now that it has retired it's looking to have some fun. With an upgraded 390 under the hood a gorgeous red paint job and ice cold A/C it's a practical yet stylish summertime toy that you're sure to enjoy. Yes it really is too pretty to be original paint but someone spent good money freshening up this truck while simultaneously keeping the rugged hard-working look that made these trucks famous. The dark red is actually quite sophisticated neither maroon or bright tomato red but a medium color that looks absolutely awesome on the vintage sheetmetal. The honest good looks are something many of us grew up with from the bright grille up front to the long spear along the sides and the chrome rocker panel trim this is a flashy truck. They took the time to retain all the original emblems too including the 'Ranger' script on the bed sides reminding us that the Ranger wasn't always a little guy. A sprayed-in bedliner protects the vintage steel and while it has its share of scars there's no rust or other serious damage in the cargo bay. The black and red interior is surprisingly plush and handsome for a blue-collar machine such as this and thanks to the new cloth seat covers it's ready to enjoy immediately. Plain pleated door panels soften the otherwise all-steel doors with a matching trim band that echoes the exterior styling. An interesting instrument panel features a complete array of gauges and a burled walnut applique that warms up the interior nicely. There's a later AM/FM radio fitted to the dash right above the controls for the aftermarket A/C system which are very neatly integrated into the original dash. The transmission is a three-on-the-tree setup that will warm the hearts of traditional truck lovers everywhere and there's a handsome steering wheel that remains in outstanding condition. The engine is the original 390 which has been upgraded to a 4-barrel carburetor that lives under an aftermarket air cleaner and between a set of beautiful finned aluminum valve covers that recall the early Thunderbirds. The bright Ford Blue paint on the block suggests that the engine has been recently restored and it runs smoothly with that seamless flow of torque that only a big block can deliver. Underneath it's solid and clean with a new dual exhaust system featuring Flowmaster mufflers and chrome tips that exit under the rear bumper. New shocks at all four corners make this old pickup ride like new and there are new bushings on Ford's traditional "Twin I-Beam" front suspension. And just in case you want to put this truck back to work there's a new trailer hitch out back. The wheels are handsome late-model F150 pieces which now wear fat 255/70/15 white letter radials. This is a fun solid truck with zero needs and a fascinating story to tell. Call today! $16,995 ,, Advertiser Since 2008
