Ford F-250 Ranger 4x4 390 V8 1979

General description : Description
A true vintage pickup that also still has the big V8 and 4x4 ability to get the job done, and it's all at an ultra-affordable price?! Yes, this 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger is truly an irresistible truck that can give you everything you want, and turn more heads for far less than the price of a new 4x4.
The F-250 is about delivering extra work ability. So that spirit has always been kept in mind with features like the tow hitch, long bed with liner paint, and a lifted 4x4 suspension. Plus, the upgrade to the polished 16-inch wheels allows for better tires for utility, and at the same time, it complements the shine of chrome front bumper and the added brightwork that comes on a premium Ranger-level pickup. The factory-correct Candyapple Red now also has tan added for a nice two tone sophistication to impress those you pass on the streets. But this is no trailer queen, so nothing on this truck is too pristine to make you nervous about getting down to real 4x4 fun and usefulness.
The interior is a nice place to spend some time. There are newer investments in fundamentals like the carpeting and cloth seat. This is joined by well-done door panels, headliner, and dash pad for a comfortable and vintage atmosphere. There are some good comfort features, like AM/FM/cassette radio and cruise control. The was even originally an A/C truck (you'll need components and servicing to return the function.) But your favorite feature in a pickup like this is going to be just opening up the side vent windows and sliding the rear glass to get the right old-school breezes flowing through the truck. In fact, you get the full vintage experience with the classic Ford steering wheel, factory gauges, and the right added readouts (including tach.) And nothing quite beats the feeling of resting your hand on a Hurst T-bar shifter.
Whether you want this for work or play, you'll love the V8 under the hood. The 390 cubic-inch unit is already a terrific Ford powerhouse, and this one takes it a step further with upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and dual port intake manifold. So it's a V8 that runs with added gusto and has added authority from the dual exhaust. Plus, there's a four-speed manual transmission to give you complete control no matter if you want low-end climbing torque or highway passing power. And this versatility is exactly how you should view this classic. The two-speed 4x4 transfer case, four-inch lift, and General Grabber tires are great for off-road work. But this also has a solid feeling on the road that lets you take everyday speeds with confidence. And features like power steering, power brakes, and front discs are welcomed in all conditions.
It's amazing this much utility and style is available for such an affordable price. So you know you can't let this one slip away. Call today!!!

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
