NO RESERVE WORLDWIDE AUCTION1976 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT"M" Code - Factory 390 V8 - 4 BarrelBlack on Black - Styleside - Long Wheel Base - 2WDVIN - F15MUA54683 Purchased new from Jerry Duncan Ford in Harriman, TN. on October 23rd, 1975 by Mr. Turner Abner of Lake City, TN. The original Tennessee Title (No. 20840369) was issued in Mr. Abner's name by the Nashville DMV on November 12th, 1975. Here is where the "story" begins. The original title shows a typo in the VIN and lists the truck as an "H' code instead of the "M" code that it is. You can see the correct VIN in a few of the photos in this listing, including the Warranty Identification Card (Protect-O-Plate), the original invoice and the stamp on the right side frame rail of the truck. Mr. Abner had regular maintenance done and replaced parts as needed. I have many receipts but I believe some have gone missing through the years. I do have the original owners manual, the consumer information sheet which also shows the VIN, the warranty card (protect-o-plate) and warranty facts booklet. Mr. Abner passed in 2007 and the truck was kept in the family for the next 6 years. The second Title (No. 92414653) was issued with the typo going unnoticed again. Fast forward to August 21st, 2013, Mr. Abner's kin sold the truck to the Mr. Clarence Fortner of Winfield, TN. At this time, the third Title (No. 88353637) was issued in Mr. Fortner's name and once again, the typo in the VIN was missed and was again issued as an "H" code. To get this corrected, all you need is to complete a "Corrected or Substitute Title Application" and a DMV inspector to verify the VIN on the truck. There is no cost involved and easy to do.

The only excuse on the truck is that it has some rust above the rear wheel wells. The good news is, that is the ONLY rust it has. There is no other rust I could find. The floor boards in the cab, the cab corners, the bed floor, the tailgate, the fenders, the hood, the frame, the undercarriage, etc. are all rust free! The interior is in great shape. No cracks in the dash. The bench seat was recovered in 1991 (have the receipt from the trim shop) and has no rips or damage and it is nice and firm. All lights are working with the exception of the back up lights which I have not looked into. Even the horn and the cigarette lighter works. All gauges are working including the fuel gauge on either tank. Both doors and the tailgate open and close nicely and the windows function properly. There is a small crack (about 3 inches) in the windshield to the left but not in the drivers line of vision. The bed has a nice plastic liner. The original radio is long gone and a vintage Alpine AM/FM Cassette unit was installed years ago. Also the original wheels and hubcaps have been replaced with 15x8 Ford Chrome Wagon Wheels. I just had brand new tires installed and they only have about 80 miles on them. The air conditioning system fan works but is not cold. I have invested over $1000 on the following items for the truck: - 4 New MILESTAR 235/75/15 All Terrain Tires (11/20/2017)- New Holley/Demon 625 Carburetor (12/27/2017) Old Holley 750 Carburetor included- New Fuel Pump and Filter (12/27/2017)- New Spark Plugs and Wires (12/27/2017) The 390 engine has good power, cranks right up and runs great. The transmission shifts smoothly. Dual exhaust sounds nice. Runs out good and goes straight down the road. Stops straight too. No odd noises and no smoke. The truck is a solid road ready daily driver. It's a joy to drive. Has normal signs of use. Always adult owned and never abused. 24 photos included in this listing. More available upon request.
