Ford F-100 428 Cobra Jet V8 1972
General description :
COBRA JET 428 V8, 3SPD, A/C, PWR STEER & BRAKE, CORRECT COLORS IN/OUT, CLEAN!!
On the outside this is a beautiful vintage pickup; on the inside you have A/C comfort; and under the hood you have screaming 428 Cobra Jet V8 power. Oh yeah, this 1972 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT is the premium vintage pickup with a big V8 surprise!
The factory-correct Candyapple Red paint on this truck is that great kind of color that was made legendary by cool cruising Fords like the Mustang. So it can be taken as a subtle hint at what's waiting for you under the hood. But really, with the solid investment in a recent paint application and the white roof, this one just has that perfect old pickup shine. Speaking of shine, the top-of-the-line Ranger XLT trim is easily seen in places like the bright trim that runs from front to back, and below that, the stainless rocker and wheel well moldings. This one even still has the correct wood side trim and high-gloss wood panel tailgate – it's a true preservation master! So while you're enjoying brightwork like the big chrome bumpers and bed side rails, don't forget to appreciate how unmolested this truck looks – right down to the factory wheel covers.
The moment you open the door, this pickup gives off the premium impression a Ranger XLT should. The full red package starts with the bench seat that provides comfortable cloth for where you site and durable vinyl for the high traffic areas. This factory-correct presentation looks fantastic, and you just don't see seats like this anymore. The same goes for the door panels and dash that both retain their factory red look, as well as plenty of correct premium wood panel trim. You'll slip behind the factory steering wheel, gaze over the factory gauges, and even the factory AM radio is still on display – starting to get the picture on how factory correct this one is? While the factory air conditioning is still keeping you nice and cool, we know your favorite breezes will come from opening the side vent windows and sliding the rear glass. Not only does this give you a great old-school truck feeling, but you also get to hear the dual exhaust growl even better.
If all you did was casually glance under the hood, you might think this is the factory motor. After all, it's just as well sorted as the rest of the pickup, and it has the correct bold blue block and matching air topper. But when you hear this one rumble with authority, you know it's a special V8. In fact, the story on this truck is that a guy who worked at a Ford dealer took the 428 cubic-inch Cobra Jet out of a cop car and installed it under the hood of his truck. So now you have pursuit-level power in a very incognito package. This monster motor has even been upgraded further with a Holley four-barrel carburetor. Out on the road, the power steering and Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 provide the tight control. But what you'll really enjoy is how the three-on-the-tree manual transmission combines the old-school truck feel with complete control over this muscle car motor.
This one has a terrific look, terrific packaging, and a terrific growl. So it's amazing it's all available now for such an affordable price. Don't miss out, call today! Call now!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
