1971 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT Description

This is what a vintage pickup truck is all about. An original exterior shining in black; a comfortable interior upgraded to A/C; and a powerful rebuilt 390 V8 to keep you ahead of modern traffic. So when a truck is a total package like this 1971 Ford F-100 Ranger, we're surprised it's available at such an affordable price.The factory-correct Raven Black paint on this truck is that great kind of color that was made legendary by cool cruising Fords like the original Thunderbird. It's a timeless hue that that's very desireable today, which is the theme of this pickup. It has the classic square-jaw appearance we all love in these pickups that are a reminded of a hard day's work set to sheetmetal. But you can also tell from the nice condition of the body that this one never had to pull a double shift. The top-of-the-line Ranger XLT trim is easily seen in places like the bright trim that runs from front to back, and below that, the stainless rocker and wheel well moldings. This one even still has the correct high-gloss wood panel tailgate it's a true preservation master! So while you're enjoying brightwork like the big chrome bumpers, don't forget to appreciate how unmolested this truck looks right down to the factory wheel covers.The moment you open the door, this pickup gives off the premium impression a Ranger XLT should. The upgraded bench seat was re-covered in a comfortable button-top diamond pattern, so it looks like the kind of sofa you'd find next to the fireplace in someone's private study. And the pickup-chic touches don't end there. The door panels have their own thoughtful pattern in a matching black vinyl. The dash is nicely preserved with the wood inserts coordinating well with the black and chrome tone. In the middle, the factory integrated heat/defrost controls and AM radio provide a great vintage feeling. But the addition of modern R134a air conditioning means this is truly a classic for all seasons.When you open the hood, the big blue motor just looks like it's radiating power out of the black engine bay. And since this is the big 390 cubic-inch V8, you're first impression would be quite correct! But more than just providing serious muscle and torque, this is a Jasper rebuilt V8 that we believe was installed around 1,000 miles ago. That kind of security combined with the 390's power probably has your mind racing about the kind of toys you can carry with this affordable classic. And since the three-speed automatic transmission was also rebuilt at the same time, your dreams can be an easy reality. Add in the desirable twin I-beam front suspension and power steering, and this is everything you want in a vintage F-100.This truck was under the care of one long-term owner. It not only shows in the presentation, but also in the paperwork like the owner's manual, title docs, maintenance records, and original window sticker that shows this Ford was first sold not too far from our showroom. This is the cool vintage pickup that is up for everything and always has a story to tell. In other words, if you're quick enough to grab it, you're new best friend is waiting. Call now!!
