1979 Ford F150 Ranger XLT For Sale.

SOLD  $39,500 | LAFONTAINE CLASSIC CARS | MILFORD, MI

Yellow surely isn't for everyone, but it's hard to imagine anyone hating on this 1979 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT short bed for sale at LaFontaine Classic Cars in Milford, Michigan. With 65,000 original miles, it's in excellent condition with no rust and a few choice modifications including a 2.5" Skyjacker lift kit and adjustable track bars and steering stabilizer, and beefy looking tires mounted on 15" US Mags wheels. What a stance. Own this gorgeous Dentside Ford for the fair price of just $39,500. Pretty sure if you buy it, you'll love it.

Ranger Danger: The Premium Ford F-150 Ranger XLT.

This F-150 Ranger XLT is a part of the sixth-generation Ford F-Series, which was introduced to the United States for the 1973 model year and ran through 1979. Affectionately known by Ford fanatics as the Dentside due to the characteristic horizontal dent that runs along the length of the body. 

It's also part of the F-150 model series of 1/2 ton chassis pickups, which first debuted in 1975, slotting in the space between the F-100 and the F-250. It was often referred to as a "heavy-duty" F-100 due to its larger payload, which allowed it to avoid certain emission control restrictions like catalytic converters. Sixth generation F-Series models could be outfitted with three available trim levels: The entry-level Custom; the mid-level Ranger; and the top-of-the-line Ranger XLT (like this example) and Ranger Lariat. 

Like most classic pickup trucks, the market is hot for these right now, and values are way up. According to Classic.com, the average rolling auction value for the 6th Generation Ford F-Series has increased 12.5% in just the last year! This one is a bit higher than the one-year rolling average, but a quick browse through the comps shows you that the asking price for this one is right on target. 



Condition & Specs.

This is a truck that spent much of its life in bone dry Arizona, which as any car enthusiast knows means that it's free from the perils of rust. It has been driven 65,000 miles and is in excellent condition with just the right aftermarket add-ons to give this thing the perfect stance and power.

This rig does come equipped with factory A/C but the folks at LaFontaine state that it's currently without a compressor/condenser. Given that it still retains all factory A/C components on the fire wall and controls behind the dash, they say they can get it blowing cold for you for between $500-$1000.

  • Blueprinted 429 cubic inch Cobra Jet V8
  • Column-shifted automatic transmission
  • Power steering
  • Front disc brakes
  • 2.5" Skyjacker lift kit
