VERY ORIGINAL SURVIVOR, WINDOW STICKER, INVOICE, 351 V8, PS, PB W/FRNT DISCS, AC

1977 Ford F-100 Explorer Description

How often do you get to find a truck that's a well-presented survivor? That's why we know you're excited about this 1974 Ford F-100 Explorer with its original bold red paint, matching red interior, powerful V8, and possibly even original mileage. And then you check out the affordable price, and you realize that this amazing survivor is also an increasable deal.
Everyone loves the look of this factory-correct Bright Red. Some people might even ask you if you borrowed this bold color from the Mustang (because Ford sure did!) We believe this to be the original application, and so the amount of luster that's retained after four decades really highlights the level of care the whole truck received. The sheetmetal is exceptionally straight, and even the workman's bed looks nice, too. The first impression this Ford gives is truly worth the asking price alone. But then you start to notice all the great details like the brightwork with the wide grille, chrome bumpers, and trim strip that runs the entire length of the pickup. But, there's also no mistaking those nice optional features that range from the period-correct swing-out mirrors, to the Explorer hood ornament, to the factory hubcaps. And the finishing touch is the cool white stripe package that gets this attractive pickup even more attention. Everything you want on this truck is complete and correct, just as the day it left the factory and we even have the window sicker to prove it!
If you loved how the exterior looked fantastically original, then you'll enjoy the interior even more. After all, the full red experience is continued inside. And just like the exterior, too, you get a hint of white one the door panels. There has been protective plastic laid over the bench seat and carpeting, so it really looks like a time capsule under there and it's all believed to be the same that Ford installed 40 years ago. This one even came loaded for its time with cool features like the AM/FM/8-track stereo that's still cranking out tunes. There's even factory air conditioning. When you slip behind the dual spoke factory wheel, the way this feels fresh and complete will make you easily believe that the 23,317 miles on the odometer could be actual. And when you do want to add miles to this one, all your gauges are crisp, clear, and ready to roll.
The 351 cubic-inch V8 looks great under the hood with its big blue block, bright air cleaner, and all those factory-style details. So we believe it is all original. This one has that perfect appearance where the workman attitude meets the survivor-grade presentation (even the jack is still in place!) 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.
Complete with the original bill of sale, owner's manual, and window sticker, it's going to be a while before you find a better survivor. And by then you'll likely pay at least twice as much. So don't miss your opportunity. Call today!!!
