AS MANY WHO HAVE SEEN OUR AUCTIONS KNOW WE ARE ALWAYS ON THE HUNT FOR UNIQUE/ODD BALLS AND CLEAN ORIGINAL SURVIVOR VEHICLES ESPECIALLY TRUCKS, UT RARELY DO WE COME ACROSS A SWEET LITTLE TRUCK LIKE THIS THAT IS SO WELL CARED FOR AND ESPECIALLY A 1 OWNER WITH NICE LOW LOW MILES. ONCE WE SAW AND DROVE THIS GEM ALONG WITH ITS UNTOUCHED ORIGINALITY AND CRISP CORRECT FACTORY LOOK IT JUST HAD TO COME HOME WITH US!! JUST BY THE NATURE OF WHAT THEY WERE BUILT TO DO TRUCKS IN GENERAL ARE VERY HARD TO FIND IN NICE ORIGINAL CONDITION THAT ONLY GETS HARDER THE OLDER THEY GET, UT SOME FOR WHAT EVER REASON ARE HARDER TO FIND AND RANGERS ARE ONE OF THEM. THIS ERA OF FORD RANGER WITH THE FIRST GENERATION BOXY BODY AND MORE MODERN 89-92 ROUNDER FRONT IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE. WE ARE KNOWN FOR HUNTING OUT CLEAN 92-97 FULL-SIZE FORDS AND I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THESE RANGERS BECAUSE TO ME THEY ARE THE MINI VERSION OF THAT ERA OF F-SERIES. THEY HAVE THE SAME NICE BULLET BODY STYLE WITH NICE BODY LINES ALONG THE SIDE, TTRACTIVE AND TOUGH LOOKING FRONT AND NICE RIDGES ALONG THE HOOD THAT MAKE FOR ENJOYABLE DAILY COMMUTES. WHY I DON'T KNOW, UT PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THEIR ORIGINAL CHEAPER PRICE POINT FOR A TRUCK THESE RANGERS ARE VERY HARD TO FIND IN CONDITION LIKE THIS ESPECIALLY THE SHORTBEDS. MOST WE RUN ACROSS ARE SADLY VERY ABUSED AND HAVE SEEN A LESS THEN UNFAVORABLE TREATMENT, O WHEN WE CAME ACROSS TO ME WHAT IS THE HOLY GRAIL OF FORD RANGERS WITH ONLY ONE OWNER, OW MILES, X4, HE NEW FUEL INJECTED 2.3 4 CYLINDER MOTOR, ANUAL 5-SPEED TRANSMISSION, RIGHT RED PAINT, ARD TO FIND SHORT-BED AND THAT KILLER SPORT OPTIONED GREY INTERIOR, E JUST HAD TO MAKE HER OURS. THIS TRUCK HAS MADE US DO WHAT ANY PERSON IN THIS INDUSTRY IS SUPPOSE TO NOT DO..... FALL IN LOVE WITH WHAT YOU BUY, O SHE WILL BE MISSED. THIS RANGER TRULY DRIVES AS GOOD AS IT CAN GET WITH A VERY TIGHT AND SMOOTH DRIVE, UIET AND RESPONSIVE 2.3 MOTOR WITH GREAT FUEL ECONOMY, IGHT 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH SMOOTH SHIFTS AND SHE'S PLUMBED FULL OF FRESH FUEL!!
BODY- THIS 4X4 RANGER HAS A BEAUTIFUL AND SHINY FACTORY RED PAINT THAT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST DIPPED IN AND PULLED OUT OF CHERRY RED PAINT CAN. HAS A CLEAN ACCIDENT FREE HISTORY AND DRY BODY WITH ZERO RUST ANYWHERE. GORGEOUS ALL ORIGINAL PAINT AND BODY IN THIS TASTEFUL RED WITH GREY INTERIOR COLOR OPTIONS. IT HAS A DEEP AND HIGH GLOSS SHINE THAT IS AMAZING FOR 27 YEARS OLD. ONCE YOU MAKE A COUPLE PASSES AROUND THIS TRUCK YOU WILL BEGAN TO NOTICE THE DETAILS THAT SHOW THE LOVE AND CARE THIS TRUCK MUST HAVE RECEIVED TO LEAVE IT IN THIS INCREDIBLE CONDITION. IT IS ALL 100% ORIGINAL PAINT ALL THE WAY AROUND THIS TRUCK WITH NO PAINT LIFTING OR FLAKING ISSUES, ICE DEEP AND REFLECTIVE CHROME, LL THE COLORED LIGHT LENSES ARE NOT ONLY FULL OF DEEP COLO, UT ARE ALL STILL SHINY AND ALL THE BLACK RUBBERS AND PLASTICS ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH A RICH DEEP BLACK FINISH.

THE TOP OF THE CAB WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS AS THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON THE ROOF AND THERE IS NOTHIGN BUT PERFECT GLOSSY RED PAINT ALONG WITH THE RAIN GUTTERS. THE FRONT BULK HEAD OF THE BED IS NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE INSIDE OF THE BED HAS BEEN USED, UT YOU CAN TELL IT HAS ONLY HAULED LITE LOADDS AND NOTHING WAS EVER LOADED AND LEANED AGAINST OR ON THE CAB. THIS TRUCK IS WORKING IT'S WAY UP TO NEARLY 3 DECADES OLD, O WHILE IT IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, OTHING OF THIS AGE CAN BE PERFECT AND IT DOES HAVE EXPECTED MINOR WEAR. IT HAS YOUR TYPICAL SMALL STONE CHIPS THAT ARE NO LARGER THEN A PEN TIP ON THE FRONT VALANCE ABOVE THE BUMPER, COUPLE ON THE FRONT A PILLARS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT OF THE WINDSHIELD, NLY A COUPLE ON THE FRONT OF THE HOOD ALONG WITH SOME MARKS FROM A BUG GUARD THAT WAS ON IT'S WHOLE LIFE AND SOME ALONG THE LOWER END OF THE BODY BEHIND THE REAR TIRES. THERE IS SOME SMALL MARKS AND CHIPS ON THE DRIVER DOOR EDGE AND NEAR KEY AND HANDLE AREA. THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF BLACK ROAD TAR THAT WILL COME OFF ON THE BOTTOM OF DRIVER SIDE JUST AFTER THE FRONT TIRE. THERE IS ALSO SOME SMALL CHIPS AND HAIRLINE SURFACE SCRATCHES YOU WILL SEE ONCE YOU GET WITHIN TOUCHING DISTANCE OF THE TRUCK ON THE BED SIDES AND ON THE TAILGATE. THE DRIVER SIDE EDGE OF THE BUMPER IS SLIGHTLY BENT INTO THE BED FROM MINOR CONTACT WITH SOMETHING WHILE BACKING UP THAT ALSO SLIGHTLY DENTED THE LOWER BED EDGE BELOW THE TAIL LIGHT AND CHIPPED SOME OF THE PAINT. THERE IS A SOFT INDENT ON THE DRIVER REAR OF THE WHEEL WELL THAT ALSO PUSHED OUT THE CHROME TRIM A BIT TOO. THERE IS A THIN SCRATCH ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG ON BOTTOM BACK OF RIGHT BED SIDE, WO CHIPS ON REAR OF RIGHT CAB AS IT MEETS THE BED, MALL LESS THEN A DIME SIZED DING ON TAILGATE TOP AND ON RIGHT BED RAIL. WHOLE TRUCK. I LIKE TO BE PICKY ON MY ADS AND DESCRIBE EVEN THE LITTLE EXPECTED ITEMS, UT THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN A REGISTERED ON THE ROAD TRUCK FOR EVERY 27 YEARS OF IT'S LIFE AND HAS MADE IT OUT IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION THAT WOULD CHALLENGE TRUCKS OVER TWO DECADES YOUNGER IN AGE IN CONDION.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO GO SLOW OVER THESE PICS TO REALLY GRASP THIS TRUCKS CONDITION AS IT IS NO SMALL FEAT FOR A TRUCK TO BE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF 30 YEARS OLD AND HAVE PAINT, RIM, NTERIOR AND BODY THIS CRISP AND CLEAN ESPECIALLY WITH ONLY 1 OWNER AND JUST 136K ORIGINAL MILES. THINK OF WHERE THE WORLD WAS 27 YEARS AGO AND ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE EVOLVED, HANGED AND HAPPENED IN THAT TIME TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THIS TRUCK HAS COME FROM AND THEN THINK WHAT A MECHANICAL ITEM HAS TO GO THROUGH IN ELEMENTS AND WEAR TO APPRECIATE THIS LITTLE BEAUTY. THIS LITTLE SWEET HEART HAS WON OVER OUR HEARTS AND SHE WILL BE MISSED IN OUR GARAGE!
The older the car, he harder it is to define the condition of the vehicle.Most of our vehicles are specialty vehicles or are 15+ years old, nd usually trucks. Because of this, t is very difficult to describe each vehicle to everyone’s satisfaction. Based on the bidder'spersonal experience, ome bidders will be overly pleased with my description and pictures, nd others may feel that I fell short. I postthese auctions based on how I want to see auctions when I’m buying, keeping in mind what I look for, nd I try to put your eye's to what I can see and touch. Please help me by asking all questions and letting me know if other pictures are wanted. If you do not see a pic or description of a item or a area on the truck please do not assume anything and ask me about the specifics your a needing or for more pics and i will post every question asked by members so all potential bidders can see. Every car is available for inspection and i personally drive each vehicle before listing it and If anything does not work properly I will let you know. Of course I amonly human and these are mechanical creatures and these are usedvehicles, o please keep this in mind when bidding >< >< ><
