This rust- and rot-free 1976 Ford F-250 Ranger XLT 4×4 is finished in Dark Ginger Metallic over the original bench seat interior and shows 59,074 miles on the odometer. Powered by its factory 390 cu.-in. FE V8 paired to the factory 4-speed manual transmission, this West Coast truck retains original paint and original sheet metal throughout, with no rust repair or patch panels. The body is straight, the floors are untouched, and it runs and drives excellent. Offered at $34,500 by Dover Speed Shop in Stow, Massachusetts, with a clean Oregon title in hand.
- Top-Tier Ranger XLT Trim: By 1976, the Ranger XLT package represented the top of Ford’s trim hierarchy, adding upgraded interior materials, bright exterior brightwork, and refined details to the durable F-250 platform. It delivers a blend of heavy-duty capability and elevated factory trim that set it apart from base work-duty examples.
- Factory 390 FE V8 + 4-Speed: Under the hood sits the factory 390 cu.-in. FE V8, backed by a 4-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive system. It runs and drives excellent, delivering the torque-rich, mechanical character expected from a period-correct Ford big-block truck.
- 100% Original Dark Ginger Metallic Paint: Finished in its factory Dark Ginger Metallic, this F-250 retains 100% original paint and all original sheet metal. There is no rust repair, no patch panels, and no refinishing, just clean, preserved steel from cab to bed.
- Factory Options That Matter: Equipped with power steering, power brakes, dual fuel tanks, and a factory stowaway toolbox. These period-correct options enhance drivability and usability while maintaining factory specification.
- West Coast History: Recently sourced from Oregon, this rust-free example features solid floors, clean frame rails, and well-preserved original trim throughout. Clean Oregon title included, with transport assistance available.
Unmodified, rust-free F-250 Ranger XLT 4×4 examples retaining their factory paint are increasingly difficult to find. Many have been refinished, repaired, or altered over the decades.
