Some classic pickups are more eye-catching than others, and this 1968 Ford F100 Ranger is a real beauty. It is a survivor that is in above-average condition and should garner plenty of attention and positive comments wherever it goes. It is ready to be driven and enjoyed immediately, and with values continuing to head north at a consistent rate, it could also represent an enjoyable long-term investment. Located in Woodruff, South Carolina, you will find the Ranger listed for sale here on eBay. Bidding has reached $11,000, and since the reserve has been met, someone will be taking home a great classic pickup very soon. The F100 is finished in Raven Black, and the seller admits that it has received one repaint in the distant past. The paint isn’t perfect because it does exhibit a slight haze in bright sunlight. However, it still looks like it can hold a respectable shine. That means that there is no urgent need for a further refresh. The panels are laser straight, with one small blemish above the right rear wheel as the only notable defect. However, this isn’t visible in any of the supplied photos, indicating just how insignificant it is. The paint in the bed is scuffed, and there is some surface corrosion present. This suggests that the Ranger has worked to earn a living, but the lack of physical damage would indicate that this is not a vehicle that has been subjected to any abuse. The trim and chrome shine well for a vehicle of this age, and the condition would be considered acceptable for a survivor-grade car. The wheels and hubcaps are original and are just as nice as the rest of the exterior. The glass is free from faults, and the overall impression is extremely positive. The interior of the F100 is trimmed in Red, which provides a striking contrast to the exterior. The overall condition is excellent, with no evidence of wear or damage to the upholstered surfaces. The wheel has no cracks or appreciable wear, and there have been no aftermarket modifications or additions. There are a few faults to consider, but these could be addressed as time and circumstances allow. The carpet is beginning to show its age, but with replacement sets available for $180, this is inexpensive to address. There is also a single crack in the dash pad. This could potentially be repaired, but the buyer will probably choose to tackle this by spending $450 on a new, high-quality replacement pad. The interior isn’t loaded with creature comforts, although the factory AM radio should provide entertainment on those longer journeys. Buyers in 1968 had a reasonable choice of engine to slot under the hood of their new F100, but the original owner chose the 215hp 360ci V8. He decided to back this with a 3-speed automatic transmission but reduced the sweat levels by ticking the boxes beside power steering and power brakes on the order sheet. This engine’s big-ticket item wasn’t its outright power, but its 327 ft/lbs of torque. This made the F100 an accomplished tow vehicle, and the tow hitch attached to this classic stands as a testament to that. The owner says that the pickup runs and drives perfectly, with no issues or problems. However, if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video clip must be worth so much more. I have included a YouTube clip at the bottom of this article, showing the Ranger running and driving. That mighty Ford V8 sounds as crisp and tough as it did the day that it was built. Classic pickups are always strong performers in the market, and the 1968 F100 is no exception. These are particularly popular amongst enthusiasts, especially with the 360 under the hood. Values have increased by around 30% in the last 3-years alone. This one isn’t perfect, but it could represent a canny buy for the right person if the bidding stays anywhere within its current level. This is an auction that could be worth watching. Of course, you could also go one better and submit a bid. Are you tempted?
