No action movie seems to be complete today without some car chase scene. But no matter how spectacular or grandiose these scenes are, they will never be able to match the shine of those forever trapped in the movies made back in the 1960s and 1970s.
It was then when Hollywood realized cars could be used for incredible, heart-stopping shots, becoming movie stars in and of themselves and shaping generations of young adults.
And the Ford F-250 Ranger we have here would seem right at home doing movies. It was never a movie star, but if someone was to shoot a period film, we wouldn’t mind seeing it in action. It has the looks of a bad boy’s ride, the kind of machine that suddenly pops in the rearview mirror and gives chase down windy roads or deserted highways.
And it looks extremely fresh – that’s probably due to the fact it was stored for about 40 years before being rescued in 2018 and then underwent some work to bring it back to tip-top shape.
Wrapped in Sequoia Brown Metallic over a Ginger cloth and vinyl interior, the truck is almost stock, visually, boasting the factory-equipped Ranger XLT trim package, but also trailer hitches, polished bumpers, and a period-style roll bar with dual spotlights.
Under the hood, the pickup no longer has the original 360-ci (5.9-liter) V8, but a replacement powerplant with a 390-ci (6.4-liter) displacement. The engine is linked to a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case.
The truck, as is, can be found on Bring a Trailer, where it awaits a new owner. Some of you might know it from September, when it was for sale in the same place, and went back then for $29,800. The thing is whoever promised that much failed to keep their word, so here it is again.
This time around, with two days left in the process, the highest bid is just $12,000.
