Description
This 1979 Ford F-150 Ranger is a bright red big boy 4x4 with plenty of utility, a comfy interior, and plenty of power from the big V8 under the hood.
This F-150 announces its presence with its bold square shouldered design and a raised 4x4 suspension. It wears a shade of factory-correct Maroon Metallic has a glossy and attractive look. So it will get you respect at stoplights, but they made sure it wasn't so perfect that you'd shy away from using this 4x4. That's exactly how to view this pickup: beauty mixed with brawn. These Rangers have the attractive full-length trim that shows off the straightness of the body. Plus, the new lower molding trim and rear step bumper are also nice reminders of a stylish attitude within the substance. The bed looks great with a diamond plate floor, and there's even a newly sprayed liner paint. And the addition of the 15-inch Vision wheels with meaty tires really ties brightwork and utility packages together.
Open the door to an interior with the right updates and upgrades. The black and red bench seat with white piping has a cool classic truck look, and the headliner is done to match. Fresh carpeting, clean door panels, and a dash cap all add to this well-done and inviting atmosphere. There are some nice updates for function, like the column mounted tach. This was also made to be a comfortable truck. It looks to have been a factory A/C machine (will need servicing and components to restore) and the upgraded AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth really upgrades the driving music.
Ford's 400 cubic-inch V8 is already the kind of size you want to get the job done, and that's just the beginning for this one. It has been upgraded with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake, and long tube headers that feeds the dual exhaust with Flowmasters. It fires up with a throaty rumble that tells you it's a nice power package. The extra muscle goes well with the two-speed 4x4 transfer case, extra ground clearance, and deep tread on the Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tires to really deliver a go-anywhere attitude. And the full package is good for all-around driving with the C6 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes with front discs.
Powerful, attractive, vintage, and comfortable - it's amazing you can get all of this in a 4x4 package for such an attractive price. 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.
