1975 Ford F-100

Description

Somewhere between a muscle machine and true 4x4 workhorse is this 1975 Ford F-100 Ranger. With its powerful big block V8, four-on-the-floor, upgraded features, and off-road prowess, you get an attention-grabbing vintage appearance wrapped in a ready-to-work attitude. Best of all, this total package will cost you less than a brand new 4x4.

The metallic tan has the kind of premium appearance you would expect from the high-end Ranger. It gives the truck a nice shine and it's the kind of color that looks both vintage but with plenty of modern appeal. Plus, one look at the super-straight body, and it's obvious this has led a good life. And that makes sense considering the Ranger was a top trim available in 1975. But just because it has a premium appearance, don't forget these were made earn their keep. The wide step bumper provides easy access to the bed, and when you look inside, there's a thick rubber mat protecting it. And those 15-inch later-model Ford alloys really highlight the lift of the go-anywhere 4x4 suspension. Plus, take note of the trailer hitch with modern plug and trailer brake. So now you know the affordable truck that leaves money in the budget for toys can also tow them, too.

Open the door, and you'll see some obvious signs of an investment in keeping this F-100 comfortable. The tan cloth bench seat looks new, and it's a great upgrade over the vinyl. The exterior metallic tan paint is used on the dash and along the door tops to add some extra color and give the truck a nice uniform feeling. The driver gets a grippy factory steering wheel, and beyond that are the original gauges and heat/defrost controls. It has been updated with a more modern radio disguised as an original knob-style unit. That way you have an AM/FM digital tuner with an aux input for modern music players without ruining the vintage atmosphere. But we know your favorite soundtrack to this 4x4 is really what's exiting just behind the doors.

There was a big upgrade under the hood. The original 302 V8 was exchanged for the largest motor available in the series. Ford's huge 460 cubic-inch V8 has been expertly installed so that looks like it belonged in here from day one. And more than just big block displacement, this truck has been further enhanced with go-fast goodies like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and an aluminum radiator to keep everything cool. And we know you'll love the fierce bark that comes from the side pipe dual exhaust. It's a great power package, that when combined with control the four-speed manual transmission, makes for a muscle truck for the streets. But this burly V8 also has another propose. It's a 4x4 with a two-speed transfer case, enhanced ground clearance, and a great set of Hankook Dynapro A/T-M tires. And no matter if you want to use this for off-road or just weekend chores, great driving features like power steering and front disc brakes make every trip an easy one.

It's time to be the coolest truck to arrive everywhere from the boat ramp to the camp site. This affordable, premium, and powerful package is the kind of deal that's going quickly. So don't miss out, call today!
