1976 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT

Description

Every vintage pickup was once a workhorse, so each has a story to tell. And right now you're looking at one with its big original V8, A/C interior, and an interesting history. So the one you really want not only looks great, but in the case of this 1976 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT, also has unique tale to share with your friends.

The factory-correct code-U Glen Green is a terrific color to represent this era. And because the Ranger XLT was a top trim available in 1976, it came with all that great brightwork like the stainless body line moldings, ornate tailgate, and the rocker moldings that wrap up and continue to the wheel opening moldings. Plus, that big chrome bumper and upgraded grille really do put this Ford's best face forward. However, this truck's appearance is also built for function. For example, the shiny bed rails not only make this pickup ready for the show field on Saturday, but it can also hold down your Home Depot run on Sunday. And the bright towing mirrors and tow hitch bumper add plenty of utility. One look at the super-straight body, and it's obvious this wasn't some contractor's beater... but there's an even deeper story of owner loyalty. Take a look at the trim tag. This Ford was order by district 22 – Charlotte, North Carolina. So over 40 years later, this pickup is still selling out of its home district.

If you enjoyed the green exterior, then you'll love the interior even more. This is a correct green presentation, but the bench seat with comfortable cloth inserts feel like a nice upgrade. The same goes for the matching door panels. Plus, the Grant GT wood and chrome steering wheel gives you some sporty flair. But even with all these upgrades, the cab still feels quite stock. That's because many of your favorite features of this loaded interior are being quite stealthy. After all, it's hard to first recognize the newer retrosound AM/FM stereo with digital tuner, and you'll only feel the upgrade to modern R134a air conditioning when its keeping the cabin cold.

The big 360 cubic-inch V8 looks quite honest under the hood with its big blue block, matching blue air cleaner, and factory-style decals. This one has that perfect appearance where the workman attitude meets the survivor-grade presentation (even the jack is still in place!) That's why you'll also be glad to know this is believed the be the original powerplant for this F-100. A truck this nice deserves to be taken out for leisurely drives, and so it also was optioned correctly to be comfortable on the road. With a three-speed automatic transmission, twin I-beam front suspension, power steering, and front disc brakes, this is a great anytime classic.
