Love at first site. . .

First I want to thank those of you that answered my question about looking at 66 F100 on Saturday. The drive down I-5 on Saturday was pretty messy with record rains and high winds. But when I got to Vancouver Washington, I found more than I was expecting. I'll let the pictures do their own talking. . .

I took her for a spin around the area got back and felt no real reason for talking him down from the $900 he was asking. I jumped on the train Sunday morning and drove it back. I was suprised that even since it only has a 240 I6, I was able to keep up with traffic with out a problem. I can't wait to start working on it.

Proud New 66 F100 owner,
Ron McDonald

PS. I now have a '88 Ford Ranger SC for sale

Great Find. Good to see there are some good buys out there still. Please get some letter decals for the tailgate or paint them.

Very nice ride. I think you will find that eventhough you are keeping up with the traffic you will get the best milage around 60 unless someone has swaped the gearing out

$900?
If that truck were in the northeast, the truck sitting in a field with no drivetrain in it would be worth more than that in the condition of yours. Excellent buy!

Beautiful! $900? It would be an insult to offer less. "minishtr", find yourself a yard sale if you insist on knocking something off a great price. Gimme AFB!

Thumbs up Thanks!

I have been apart of a few groups, the Ford owners already seem among the one of the best groups around. I have already met Don "camperspecial65" and hope to meet others as I go along. I have posted more pictures in my gallery for your entertainment

My God! That seller must have really been down and out, desperate, or maybe even insane to ASK $900. Everyone take a look at Ron's gallery and see what I mean. That truck has power steering, dual master cylinder conversion, padded dash, original radio. I also noticed what looks like a nice, clean, original floormat. Throw on a rust free bed and chrome bumpers and Ron's looking at getting arrested for robbery.

Ron my friend you are the man!
