Ford F-100 Ranger 360 V8 1974

General description : Description
We know you're excited about this 1974 Ford F-100 Ranger with its two-tone paint, vintage interior, and V8 power. Not only does this have a true classic look, but this pickup has been treated like an heirloom. So this is the first time it has even been offered outside of the original family.
The story we're told on this is that it has spent its entire life with the same family. So you not only have a great vintage look, but also a great vintage tale to go with it, too. The two-tone blue is factory-correct, but it has been given a respray to update this classic's wow factor. The modern shine shows off the crispness of the well-respected sheetmetal, and the Ranger's full-length side trim provides a nice dividing line while also brining added attention to these clean panels. There's a terrific vintage style here, right down to the factory wheel covers, but there's also a true pickup spirit that loves to get down to business. There's tow mirrors, a rear step bumper with hitch attachment, and plenty of added utility of a long bed with liner paint on the floor. We're not saying you'd use this pretty pickup for the daily grind, but it's still nice to know this is ready to pitch in with the chores.
The sea of blue continues inside. They left a lot of the stock pieces in place on this classic, because after all, a truck with a story needs to show its history. But there have also been the right upgrades to keep it nice, including a newly re-covered seat with comfy velour inserts. You'll appreciate the little touches, like how the factory-correct Philco AM radio and air conditioning controls are cleanly still on display (they will need servicing to function again.) And there's just something special about grabbing ahold of the thin/grippy factory wheel and gazing at the clean classic gauges as you go down the road.
The stock appearance continues under the hood. The 360 cubic-inch V8 has quite an honest appearance, right down to the aged look of the valve covers. So it's the right kind of presentation for what's believed to be the original motor in this pickup. A truck like this deserves to be taken out for leisurely drives, and so it also was optioned correctly to be comfortable on the road. It includes a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes. Even those classic-style whitewall tires are new.
This truck give you the classic style you love, and even a great story to go with it, too. Plus, it has the right kind of presentation where you'll love to show it off everywhere. So don't miss your opportunity at a true vintage attention-getter. 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
