1976 Ranger

[Geiri]

I have a 1976 Sport Ranger. It has been painted an seat swapped. I was wondering if some one could show me how it originally looked??

According to Marti it was Cayan Red Paint and had Tan Cloth/Vinyl Ranger Bucket Seats

So your Ranger has Bronco Sport badging on the fenders? To show you the color, my 76 is Cayan Red with the Decor package. But I do not have the ranger interior. I will look to see if I have a picture of the 77 Ranger I once owned. Which had the tan seats coverings.

A tan Ranger interior would look like this. Your dash and doors would be body color.

Why do you say it's Sport Ranger? Looks like a Ranger package with stripe delete and added rocker molding. As a Ranger in this configuration it would have all the Sport items except the Sport badging. Not sure that Sport Ranger is an actual thing?

 

[Slowleak]

There was not a “Sport Ranger”. All Rangers had all the exterior trim upgrades of Sports plus more.

Those are some beautiful pictures!

That was the interior color on my 77, White on White Ranger and strip delete.

It had all the chrome Some one might have added it. My bad.

Did the Ranger not come with the Chrome package at all?

 

[DirtDonk]

Yes, he was just saying that the Ranger automatically had all the chrome, but it was never referred to as a sport. Did not even come with the bronco sport badging. The bronco logo on the fender was just a plain bronco version. So a ranger is a ranger and a sport is a not.

Thank you for explaining this

"Leaded Gas"

what does that mean on the Marti?

 

[DirtDonk]

Interesting. Might just mean that the gas tank filler came with that restrictor plate inside so that only an unleaded nozzle could go in it.
And if it’s just mimicking the window sticker, as a reminder to the new owners to not use leaded gas with the catalyst equipped vehicle.
Supplemental info to the decal near the filler cap and the label on the instrument cluster.

 

[DirtDonk]

All that stuff was still brand new at that time, so everything served as reminders about which gas to use. Or else pay the price later, for a replacement catalytic converter!

Metric speedometer and leaded gas on the Marti.... I would think it was delivered somewhere other than the US.
