I came across this 1994 Ranger XLT 3.0 V6 5-speed and picked her up for only $2000 cash.<br /><br />The AC works great, it has a bed liner, stereo, and the undercarriage is bone dry.<br /><br />I am thrilled that I can retire the coupe to weekend duty and work on it without having to worry about it needing to be ready every Monday morning for the commute to work. It was breaking my heart driving the 5.0 to work, to the gym, to the grocery store, roadtrips, and any errands I needed...<br /><br />The upcoming project for the coupe is to get the torque boxes welded up and get a set of MM lower control arms.<br /><br />Here are a few pics of the new Ranger:<br /><br /> <img src="http://mustangmotorsport.com/images/misc/ranger2.jpg" alt=" - " /> <br /><br /> <img src="http://mustangmotorsport.com/images/misc/ranger3.jpg" alt=" - " /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>02GeeTee</b> <br /><small>Member # 5905</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,8,8,21,56,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> It's one hell of a beater.<br /><br />Edit: My old man has the same truck.
