Ford F-150 1979
General description :
429 V8, 3SPD AUTO, PWR STEER/BRAKE, RUNS/DRIVES GR8, NICE COLOR COMBO, LIFTED!!
This 1979 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT is a cool classic 4x4 with a lifted stance, V8 power, and a ready-to-work attitude. So if you like your vintage rides to also have a practical side, take a closer look at this F-Series.
The two-tone black and silver is a timeless presentation, and letting the premium Ranger XLT trim be the dividing line for these two colors is a master stroke of elegance. But this is not a trailer queen (after all, it tows the trailers... it doesn't go on them!) So you won't be afraid to do all your work and play in this pickup. After all, the 6-inch lift kit gives this an even better 4x4 stance, the rear step bumper has a tow ball attachment, and the bed is lined to stay protected. So this one is ready for anything.
Open the door to a nicely preserved interior. The black bench seat has textured cloth inserts to make it comfortable for where you sit. The Ranger-level premium wood appearance is on the door panels, dash, and dual-spoke steering wheel. Plus, the addition of the retrosound AM/FM radio means a modern digital tuner without altering this very vintage atmosphere.
This was born with a 351 cubic-inch V8, but there is now a 429 V8 pulling duty under the hood. There's a four-barrel carburetor on top and a terrific growl from the dual exhaust. But you'll really love this V8 for the kind of low-end power that's always welcomed on a tall four-wheel drive pickup. In fact, combine this stance with the two speed 4x4 transfer case, BDS front suspension, and BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain tires, and you know the fun doesn't end when the pavement does. Because this also features a three-speed automatic transmission, limited-slip rear end, power steering, and front disc brakes, it's an easy any-time, any-place driver.
Cool classic style meets plenty of utility in this vintage pickup. That makes this F-150 a hot deal that's moving fast. 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.
