NO RESERVE!!! If your high bidder, then she's yours! Up for sale is my bagged and shaved 97' Ford Ranger. I have owned this truck for the past 13 years, and am only selling due to getting divorced.

(Lights are not currently hooked up) Tinted Windows 15 Gallon Steel Fuel cell Brand new battery as of 3-16-2012 with quick disconnect knob I've spent the past 13 years owning and building this truck. However, over the past 4 years, I have not had much time or resources to completely finish it as i had imagined. The truck does run good for its age. Fires right up every time. I sincerely hate to sell this truck, but as i stated, i'm getting divorced and have no choice. The truck was in Truckin magazine, Vol 33, issue #3, and was in Mini Truckin later on that year. The truck has won quite a few trophies back when i was showing it alot. The truck will lay on the frame when completely aired out. Here is a list of things the truck either has wrong with it and / or needs to my best of knowledge: Rear tire's only have 500 miles on them, but pass. side rear has a slow leak around the bead. (Just needs remounted) Front tires need replaced relativly soon. Low tread, and Drivers side showing signs of dry rot. Bottom rear of bed dragged on a driveway causing some damage, Pulled Drivers side lower bed out a little bit causing a stress tear in the roll pan, and has slight surface rust spots around tail light buckets. (Only rust to my knowledge on the trucks body) Chrome on wheels isn't perfect. Shines decent, but showing some dullness. Airbag light is on due to stock steering wheel being removed for Billet wheel from Billet Specialties. ABS Light is on. To my best of knowledge, it is a Faulty sensor on the rear diff of the truck. There is NO PROBLEM with braking thus far though. Bed floor has been cut up pretty good to make room for the suspension components. i had planned on doing a sheetmetal bed floor, but never got around to it. The AC has been removed from the truck to allow room under the hood for it to lay out. Underhood has quite a few wires that need either removed or tied up. Used to go to different fog lights/ neon lights/ stereos. Underside of hood is not painted. Still bare fiberglass. Hood is also a bit difficult to shut sometimes. needs readjusted. There is a small dent on the bed of the truck by the drivers side door. Gas gauge in center console needs rewired. Stays on "E", my guess is a bad ground. Has a CD player in truck, but only 1 of the speakers are currently hooked up. Used to run a custom system in it and never got around to hooking back up the stock system. Keep in mind that this truck is nearly 15 years old and does show some signs of its age. The truck is not perfect, but a GREAT project to pick up on and finish right. I would imagine this truck would NOT pass any emissions testing, nor any safety testing due to airbag being removed from the steering wheel. Still a fun truck and turns heads EVERY WHERE it goes. I truly hope it goes to a good home! Please feel free to contact me about any questions at all about this truck, or to come look at it before the auction ends.
