SO! One little picture of this Ranger on my Orange '77 thread has caused so much attention, that I'm posting a thread specifically for it. I'm still sorting and cleaning, but here she is!!!
Born in Denver, raised in So Cal, this '73 Ranger is exactly how I like them...uncut, one family owned, original paint, uncut dash, NO rust issues, top never been off, not modified. Even more impressive, check out the codes on the trim tag...U152= HD package with 4900 GVW, A5Q=LS (limited slip) front and rear axles with 4.11 gears. That's rare! Built March of '73, paint is Medium Lime Metallic.
It needs a preservation type restoration. I pulled the original carpet and the floors are perfect with only minor surface rust (see pics). I installed a new carpet and hold down kit. Her belly is so clean with no rust issues. The drivers inner fender is a little soft, that's it for rust. Door close great with no sag. I have arm rests and a dash pad to install.
The engine and transmission were removed and rebuilt about 7 years ago. They were reinstalled with a new Edelbrock AL intake and 4 bbl, Mallory distributor and coil and chrome valve covers, flex fan and 4 core radiator. Good news is they saved all the original parts and they go with the Bronco. I pulled her out today and despite cleaning the carb initially, I decided to pull it, disassemble and fully clean it, then reinstall tomorrow.
Take a look at the pics. These pictures are what I currently have. If you want to see more, let me know. PM me if you're interested. Price is Mid 20's. Thanks
