1974 Ford F-250 RANGER XLT Styleside

* 1974 FORD F-250 XLT RANGER Styleside *
Before you and up for bid is my 1974 FORD F-250 XLT Ranger Styleside Pickup. The particulars of the FORD are as follows:
* A one owner unrestored F-250 truck that was purchased new from Christie Motor Sales in Langdon, .D. Ordered on 2/26/74, elivery took place on 7/16/74.
* A garaged & pampered, on-smoker North Dakota ranch truck, ts owner was a lifelong FORD mechanic/technician.
* The F-250 has NEVER been involved in any accidents.
* Minimally driven over the course of its life, he truck was not utilized for winter driving, nd therefore not exposed to salt or winter corrosives. It is a solid truck with zero rust.
* The truck had a base price of $3172.17 in 1974. It was ordered with $2062.67 worth of options, ringing the total to $5373.84.
The optional equipment is as follows:
Special Paint, wo-tone in Hot Ginger Metallic and Sandpiper Yellow. 460 CI V8, his was the first year FORD offered the 460 ci in a truck. RANGER XLT, his was the top of the line trim level for 1974 Cruise O Matic Automatic Transmission Power Steering Air Conditioning 6900 GVW Package Ammeter & Oil Gauge LH Remote Control Mirror AM Radio Tinted Glass 22.5 Gallon Auxiliary Fuel Tank Auxiliary Rear Spring Rear Step Bumper Dual Electric Horns Upgraded Tires
* In 2000, s the owner was preparing to retire, is son had the truck repainted in the correct FORD paint codes as a retirement gift. It was a quality job. The truck was then driven less than 1000 miles over the next 15 years until this year.
* Only 44,136 miles, f which approximately 3K were driven by me during the last month.
* At 15 years of age, he paint looks amazing with excellent reflection and luster. (see pics) The difference being is that the truck was clear coated after the repaint which wasn't done by the factory in 1974.
* To allay any doubts or apprehensions regarding whether the F-250 is road worthy, personally drove the truck from North Dakota to Colorado without issue. The following week I then drove the truck another 2000 miles down to S. Florida...it never missed a beat. It is entirely road worthy and capable of being driven home to anywhere in America. It is a testament to the care it has received its entire life.
