This 1969 Ford F-100 Ranger is a truly timeless truck - it seems to be immune to the ravages of time and greets the present in the same form it started out with. It's been around long to have witnessed the dawn of the 1970's and, with some well-executed updates and conscientious care, it looks great both inside and out, and performing at the top of its game. This is, simply put, one very sharp vintage pickup, with a very... fresh-looking Wimbledon white paint job that still feels smooth to the touch and has a nice shine. It's a broad, capable-looking truck, and the sturdy frame it sits on has done its job well, as you'll find no signs of bowing as you examine it from back to front - just a collection of tight but uniform gaps surrounding the hood and doors, and long stretches of unusually level trim running along its sides. Plenty of care has gone into the array of exterior fittings this Ford carries so, unlike so many vintage pickups, both the front and back bumpers sit level and are free of any dings, and the badging on all four sides is at its best - the pair of Ranger insignias on its sides and the Ford tailgate lettering couldn't have looked any better when this truck first left the factory. Exterior functionality also matches its clean look - the doors and hood open very smoothly and the tailgate raises and lowers without having to wrestle with its latch. The same careful attention has been lavished on the inside. A black vinyl and cloth bench seat is at the center of an interior that's been refurbished to an impressive condition and appears well-padded and comfortable and the matching door panels it's flanked by are nice and tight in their steel frames and feature fresh wooden inserts. The dash area has likely been restored from scratch - its smooth, white surface is freshly painted and the array of gauges in the instrument cluster retain their original design and are crystal-clear. The row of control knobs just below not only sit securely in position, but also operate functions that all work just as intended. The ample size of the bed area in back is an indication of Ford's intent to arm its prized pickup with the capacity to handle any payload sent its way. Painted to match the white of the exterior, it, too, is in great shape, with no damage to its floor or its pair of wheel wells, with a pair of fresh chrome rails perched on its side walls. This F-100 has plenty of firepower under the hood to match its stellar looks, in the form of a 460 cubic inch V8 that carries a 4-barrel carb on top and has all the stump pulling torque you could want - you could likely get a trailer up to speed without even noticing it's behind you. Armed with a pair of chrome Edelbrock valve covers to enhance its looks and aftermarket headers, a Weiand intake manifold and a K&N air filter to up its performance even further, the big block is paired with a 3-speed automatic C6 transmission that shifts very securely. Power steering makes navigating this generously-sized truck easy, and power brakes at all four corners give it the low-effort stopping power you'd want in a frequent driver. This outstanding vintage pickup sits on a set of 15" stock Ford wheels outfitted with Hankook H714 radials. With its off the charts vintage curb appeal and strong running condition, this 1969 Ford F-100 Ranger is a rare find. Call today!
