3 Grand!! I guess the truck is kind of neat, but that guy is drunk or something. 3 grand for an 80's Ranger, regardless of what model, that has rust and won't pass inspection?
Hope you don't think somebody is gonna spend the extra money not to do some actual work to it, not just restore it to driveable condition to put little jimmy on the road after drivers training. Can you even put a reasonable accurate price on it that anyone can agree on unless you find some prior sales? I didn't manage to even find any records of any sales of a ranger version of this bigfoot cruiser by anybody else. Maybe somebody else will have more luck.

A fun fact I found on www.sporttruck.com

7.In 1987, Ford had to recall the new Bigfoot Cruiser Edition Ford Ranger built by Scherer Truck Equipment because the company installed the wrong lug nuts on the axles. The lug nuts had a different taper than the seats in the wheels, causing them to come loose and fall off.

What an insightful comment, thankyou.
Damn right it's insightful. Look at it. Maybe it would be cool if you were 8, but anyone old enough to drive has to see how retarded that thing is.

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!

Actually, I was 9 in '87 when it came out (close enough). Yes, it was cool. :icon_rofl: :thefinger:

The only thing I liked about the "bigfoot" trucks was the power rear window. I am not sure why Ford ditched that idea. Toyota has made many Tundra fans on that little idea alone. Most all of the crew cab Tundra's have that power roll-down rear window. It's ****ing sweet on a nice day.
