1989 Ford Ranger Xlt 4x4 on 2040-cars

 A beautiful 1989 Ford Ranger XLT  4X4. Air Condition,  Automatic with overdrive, 2.9 EFI engine,  Pioneer receiver with CD, Carver amp, Morrel speakers with separate tweeters. Most of these little Rangers, especially the 4X4s, were ridden hard and put away wet. So it is near impossible to find one in good condition. This is one that has been exceptionally well cared for . It has spent its entire life in the Ft. Myers area being purchased new by a local fireman in Pt. Charolette.  In 1992, with 34,000 miles on it,  it was purchased by a good friend of mine, John,  and after 20 years of owing it and 20 years of being married he decided to restore it so he and his wife could enjoy it another 20 years..  Now John is one of those guys that everything has to clean and neat. He owns an air conditioning business, and when you open his van, everything is in place, nice, neat, clean. You can see this kind of mentality in the restoration of the Ranger.   Its like who does that to an 89 Ranger???  Just one example,   instead of the ugly original fiber hood liner,  John found one that is the same as used as firewall liner on aircraft,??? who does that??? You can see how nice it looks in engine bay pic.   He pulled the engine out and sent it to Hoods Machine Shop, to have it completely machined and re built. The transmission was rebuilt at Kustom Transmission.  New ceramic coated exhaust installed by Midas Muffler.  The seat was sent to Wade Cuff where it was covered completely in Leather.  The interior also has new carpet, headliner, and dash cover. The door panels are original as well all dash components, and as you can tell are like new, including the gauges,  bezel,  and the woodgrain trim. The truck was then given a beautiful paint using Dupont Chromabase  Ford Blue Flame Effect and Ford and Ford Silver Ingot Effect, if you look at the close up pics. you can see the beauty and quality of the paint.  The bumpers are original and look great , the wheels are also original and were cleaned and detailed, the tires are-- Michelin LTX--, you can see he spared no expense. The front grill is new as are the lights, the original tailgate panel was powder coated as it had become dull.  Well now John had a beautiful like new Ranger again. Along with some of the receipts we have, we estimate he spent well over $11,000. on the restoration.  Only problem he was transferred to New York and was not able to bring the truck with him so he sold it. I now have the truck, and recently took it on a round trip from Ft Myers to West Palm Beach. Every thing works and runs great, the engine runs perfectly with plenty of power, the truck rides and handles perfectly, A.C ran cold, the pioneer stereo sound great. The wipers and new seals worked perfectly as it poured down rain on the way back. Four wheel drive engages, automatically,  and works as it should. The only thing I know of not working at this time is water temp guage, and I will fix this, as it probably is the sending unit. The entire restoration was completed late last year and has been driven less than 500 miles.       Truck is sold as-is. You can call me at 239-340-0443.    We have set a very conservative reserve, so don't miss the opportunity to own this beautiful truck!!.
