1984 Ford Ranger 2WD
September
2013 -
It's
not to often you find a nice original looking Ranger from the early
80's. The Ranger shown here showed up recently in the Akron / Canton
Ohio Craigslist ads for $3,750..
(Owner
claims the 37,053 miles is original)
So,
the Ranger isn't actually original. It was found in a barn and fixed up.
Here is the Craigslist description:
| This is a restored 84
Ford Ranger pick-up truck with extremely low miles in incredible
condition. You have to see it. I got it from my 85 year old
neighbor. He kept it in a barn and after I cleaned it up and saw
what the interior looked like I decided to make it a project. New
radial T/A tires, shocks, fuel pump, carburetor, steering
stabilizer. I cut out what little rust damage there was and welded
in new metal. I flipped the bed over, sand blasted and shot it all
with epoxy primer then 395-A which is a rustproofing paint. New
paint job. I didn't do much under the hood. I figure the next
owner can play with that. It seems to run great and drives nice. I
haven't driven it far, just up and down my road. I've taken a lot
of pictures. |
All
the same, it still makes a nice addition to the information and photos
stored away here at The Ranger Station.
Hope
you enjoyed looking at it.
