Lots to pick at if claiming "restored original" but overall nice truck.
Def not a short bed as ad claims. The painted shift ****, tailgate latch and hinges, door strike, etc, etc would bug me.
Thanks for posting that Mike. This truck has been on Michelle's list for many years but there were only two pictures of it that she passed along to me with no warranty plate, and her information was not complete for this truck.
She had the paint code recorded wrong as JM, too, where it is just J. Here's the two older pictures I had gotten from her.

x2 what Tony said. Paint is driver quality but seems to have held up OK since the repaint. Underneath of truck has not been restored per se as I see it. Front bumper is not original - looks like from a bumpside.
Overall, not too bad. Has the 6.75" brake booster which is period correct. I'd have to replace the master cylinder cap. I think it would look better with the original oil bath air cleaner, too. The ROTUNDA hang-under A/C unit is a cool period touch, too. The column shift lever **** is not just painted but the whole lever is also from a later truck. Thing I wonder about is the two hex bolts into the bezel above the speedometer. Missing the upper screw to the right, too. Still has what is likely the original bezel, too. Faded - it's lost its gleam. Details that with a $35,000 asking price make me go hmmmm.
Nice truck but it wasn’t restored. Looks like mostly original with a repaint 25 years ago. When you don’t even even pull the tailgate off to paint and spray right over the hardware makes me wonder what other corners were cut.
i agree... the closeup of the data tag in the door jamb shows poor prep in the paint.. now, we can pick any paintjob apart but there are places where you would expect better
Other trucks have been posted with the same hood ornament. It does fit - so well that it's reproduced as if it was original to the trucks. It's not. It's listed in the car parts book for 1964 A sedans.
Ford did offer bed rails starting in 1969, but they didn't look like the ones on this 1966 Ranger. Not seeing anything in the Accessories catalog. I'll keep looking but it might be something aftermarket.
Restored my butt. Just lipstick applied given what the under carriage looks like in that front shot. Fully restored means, everything mechanical and it looks like that wasn't touched.

They didn't even give the engine a rust-oleum rebuild... def not worth 35k!
The seller should've never used the word restored in their ad. It may have been somewhat restored in the 90's as it says but's that's 30 years ago and it shows. The "restoration" is obviously questionable just from the paint that's where it shouldn't be. I went to it again and the ad shows it sold; it'd be interesting to know it actually went for.
