Ford Ranger pick up 1983 2.9 v6 £3000 ono Bristol

[cortinaryan]

This is my rare 1983 Ford Ranger, The body is very Solid and in great condition. It was restored around 12 years ago and I have photos of the restoration. There is a scrape on the rear quarter see pic but I've been quoted a couple of hundred to repair it. The roof has also started to fade. I have recently fitted a 2.9 v6 with efi and auto box from a 89 Scorpio. I was planning on going down the turbo route later on, so I have fitted up rated engine mounts, brand new alloy rad and fan, hi pressure fuel pump. I also had the fuel tank reconditioned and had a bigger out let fitted for the line. I'm only selling this to fund another project. This truck drives great and you can still get good mpg. Tax and MOTed until July 2014. I'm looking for offers around £3250. I'm in Bristol. Thanks Ryan

Free bump because this looks awesome (sorry if I got your hopes up, I doubt you fancy a DC2 Integra in exchange!).

Hi thanks for the bump sorry no px, I need to buy engine parts for my race car. Cheers Ryan

I've seen this motor numerous times and can confirm that it's every bit as good as Ryan has described, if not better. In fact, I'll go with 'better' because he does always have a habit of playing down the condition of his vehicles.

If you're in the market for a good condition American truck, this is definitely worth considering.

Good luck with the sale Dude, not only do I hope this goes to a good home, I also hope it gives you the cash for your other project.

Thanks mate. I don't really want to sell the truck I love driving it around, and I've just done a load to it and sorted it out. But with 9 vehicles 5 of witch are on the road its getting hard to find the time to keep them all up together. If It doesn't sell I will probably put the Dodge up for sale instead dude. Once I've put a fresh mot on it. Cheers Ryan

I drove this up to the Essex swap meet loaded up and still got 25mpg. Cruised lovey on the motorway. In the last couple of weeks it has started to play up starting. I have fitted a new coil, and fuel pressure regulator to try and solve it but no luck. My mate jumps in it and she starts every time. So I think it must be down to the ignition barrel. I have not got the time to sort it and it needs to go. £3100 ono 07971917204 thanks Ryan

Lovely pickup chap. Hope it goes to a good home, would love it to come to mine but I'm too skint!

[cortinaryan]

I will be heading up to wheels day in the truck on Friday if anyone would like to check it out.

[cortinaryan]

Still for sale, still need to buy race car parts. I've been using this truck everyday for the last 2 weeks and its very easy to live with. If you want an American truck but don't have the big money they go for this is the one for you. Cheers Ryan
