1969 Ford F-100 Ranger

Description

This 1969 Ford F-100 Ranger is a one-owner truck, and when you care for something for over a half-century, you get one of the most authentic vintage styles around. So no matter if you're looking to rekindle old memories of the family pickup, or looking to start some new ones, this V8-powered time capsule is sure to please.

You want a one-owner truck to look this honest and correct. The only update we can spot is that it was resprayed later in life. Of course, only people who know paint and clearcoats will recognize this. Everyone else will just assume it is original paint that's working its way to a patina. So while you can certainly upgrade/update the paint, we already kind of like the attitude it has. You can tell the body panels remain quite straight. And it looks clean and complete on the chrome bumpers and premium Ranger trim. So the total impression is like a rolling endorsement for getting the job done, but doing it with care. Even the bed was protected so you have a smooth and clean floor.

The red interior is pure vintage fun. Just like the exterior, there are details you may want to update if you're not looking for a true survivor, but many of us are just excited about the level of vintage detail still here. You have the Ranger's wood-like trim, premium seatbacks, working AM radio, and the dome light still greets you when you open the door. And the classic steering wheel has the right use so that you can actually feel its history. In fact, the only upgrade you're likely to spot is the auxiliary gauge trio under the dash. And that's what you want when your classic truck is also a driver.

Under the hood is a 390 cubic-inch V8. Not only is this nice for real pickup power, but the VIN even indicates this is the correct displacement motor. And the classic blue presentation and all the decals really have an authentic kind of style that's perfect for this truck's attitude. And the way this fires up and runs reaffirms it was given proper care. This truck has a great classic feeling that invites you to feel the road, right down to the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission.

This is believed to be a one-owner truck on a Charlette DSO. Fifty-three years later, it's looking for its second owner ever, and it never was sold beyond its original region. The sale even comes with title documentation and the owner's manual to help tell its unique story. So if you love a true vintage truck, you know you can't let this one slip away. Call now!
