Classic looks meet massive big block power on this 1979 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT to create an attractive vintage pickup at one of the most affordable prices around.
The Ranger XLT package was created to showcase a very stylish pickup. That's why you're looking at an impressive full trim package, wide chrome bumpers, and square headlights (remember only the last couple of year in this generation had those.) The later-model 15-inch wheels add plenty of great shine. Plus, the factory-correct code-A Raven Black retains good gloss to grab attention. But what really makes this your favorite is how this classic is still ready to get to work. You have tough liner paint in the bed, and there's a trailer hitch with a modern electric hookup. This extra versatility is a good match for this truck's extra power (more on that in a moment.)
Inside is more of the midnight treatment. The bench seat looks good, there are newer door panels, and there's even the addition of a cup holder console. This is quite period-correct, so you get great features like the XLT's wood applique trim, and even the AM radio with 8-track is still cranking out tunes! But your favorite factory feature comes when you open the side vent windows, slide the rear glass, and let the breeze flow though the cab like only an old-school truck can. When you do, we bet you'll love hearing the growl from this enhanced pickup.
This was originally born with a 302 V8. That's a fine motor, but we bet you'll really love the 460ci that's under the hood now. This was the largest motor Ford ever allowed in this generation F-series. This biggest of the big blocks inhales deeply though a large Holley 750 CFM four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority out of the glasspack-style dual exhaust. While this might growl like a wild beast, it's quite easy to tame. That's thanks to good driving features like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.
This big block F-100 is turn-key ready for all-day work or play. How many classics can you say that about today for under $20K? 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.
