Wrench Report

By Chris Esparza

RestoMods Head Mechanic. 20 year classic car mechanic & builder.

This "bumpside" F-100 Ranger strikes the perfect balance between a timeless vintage look and modernized hot rod. Barr's Performance and Restoration nailed the aesthetic with a flawless factory-style two-tone red and white finish, but under the skin, this short-bed is a completely different animal. The 289ci small block under the hood is what sets this truck apart from other F100 builds: with COMP solid lifter cam, Cleveland heads and Holley EFI you get an impressive 400 horsepower (Just watch the included videos and you'll see what I mean.) With a modern Heidt's independent front suspension replacing the primitive twin-I-beam setup and a highway-friendly AOD transmission, this California cruiser is built to actually handle the road, not just bounce down it.

Description

This 1969 Ford F-100 Ranger is a two-wheel-drive, short-bed "bumpside" pickup that was acquired by the seller in April 2020. According to the seller, the truck underwent a full restoration and modification by Barr's Performance and Restoration out of Naples, Florida, initially completed sometime in 2017. The truck was originally built for a customer of Barr's, then purchased back by the shop and modified further. After the seller acquired the truck in 2020 and had it shipped to California, further powertrain updates were performed. It is equipped with a modern independent front suspension, aftermarket fuel injection, a four-speed automatic transmission, and an updated climate control system. The odometer shows 25,676 miles, approximately 2,185 of which were added by the seller. This F-100 is now offered by the private seller out of Winchester, California with a clean California title.

The short-bed exterior features the model's distinct longitudinal body groove and Ranger trim package elements. To accommodate the revised fuel system, an aluminum fuel tank was relocated from the cab to a mounting position beneath the cargo bed. The truck has all new side trim, and retains its factory-style chrome bumpers, grilles, and mirrors, while the exhaust has been updated with a custom-fabricated setup exiting at the rear. The truck was painted in a factory style two-tone red and white combo. The seller notes that touch up paint and about a quart of paint is also included with the sale.

18 inch Ridler 645 Series wheels are fitted with Nitto NT555 Extreme ZR tires in front, and Nitto NT555R Extreme Drag tires in rear.

The engine bay houses a newly installed high-performance 289ci V8 equipped with Cleveland cylinder heads, a COMP solid-lifter camshaft with roller rockers, a high rise aluminum intake, and a Holley electronic fuel injection system. The engine produces an estimated 400 horsepower and has accumulated approximately 300 miles since installation, with its first oil change recently completed using Valvoline 20W-50 synthetic racing oil. BG Products were also used for the lube, oil and filter service. Cooling is managed by an aluminum radiator, and the truck features a comprehensive Painless Wiring harness and a new Holley engine computer. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an AOD four-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end fitted with 3.91:1 gears.

The chassis has been upgraded with a Heidt's independent front suspension system that incorporates tubular control arms and an integrated sway bar. The front suspension also has a power front disc brake conversion. The steering assembly has been overhauled with a Lokar rack and pinion to complement the modern front-end geometry. The rear suspension retains its classic leaf-spring configuration, while the undercarriage presents a clean appearance with the relocated fuel tank visible between the rear frame rails.

The cabin features a standard bench seat and factory-style interior trim packages. All of the interior metalwork is color matched to the exterior. Driver amenities include a Vintage Air climate control system and an Ididit chrome tilt steering column with an aftermarket steering wheel. A digital display for the Holley EFI system is included inside the cabin to monitor real-time engine vitals. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 25,676 miles, though total chassis mileage is unknown.

Does a/c work well ? Need it here in Fla

Notchon Seller May 24, 8:40 am PDT

Yes the AC below very cold and the heater works great too. Recharged the AC earlier this year. So Cal we need good AC too.

Notchon Seller May 24, 10:48 am PDT

Is it going to go back home to Florida?

Gaylen • May 23, 3:27 pm PDT May 23, 3:27 pm PDT

PhilD • May 23, 12:17 pm PDT

You sure those are Cleveland heads? valvecovers look like Windsors.

Notchon Seller May 23, 1:23 pm PDT

@PhilD 100% Checked the casting myself. Cleveland 4V. My understanding on the valve covers, is they are different on a 302 or a 351 from a Windsor to a Cleveland, but the same on a 289. If you go to Jegs and search, they do not specify on a 289 C or W but they do on the 302s and 351s. Hope this helps.

Jplem • May 22, 4:57 pm PDT

What’s the total length of the car?

Notchon Seller May 22, 5:05 pm PDT

I measured it and it is 192" long by 78" wide. According to Wikipedia it is 208" long by 79.5" wide. I would use the Wikipedia numbers if you are wanting to see if it will fit in your garage. It does fit in a normal length garage.

Notchon Seller • May 22, 2:14 pm PDT

Less than 3 days to go. Thank you to all the bidders and for the questions. Please keep it going. This is an amazing truck that anyone would be proud to own. Also makes a great Father's Day gift. Happy to answer any quesations or make arrangement for anyone that wants to see it in person. Thanks again.

Rolandrod99 • May 22, 12:54 am PDT

In the videos truck sounds like it has a hard misfire. Dead cylinder perhaps? Please enlighten me.

Notchon Seller May 22, 6:31 am PDT

Hi @Rolandrod99. Not sure what you are hearing. Maybe sounds different in the videos than in person. In person I do not hear a miss. Taking it to local events, everyone say how good it sounds but none of my buddies said they hear something wrong, and they would tell me. I did have a plug wire fall off at one time. I just reconnected it. It is possible came loose again or that it fouled the plug, I will check to see if the wire came loose again and will check the plug too. You are welcome to come inspect the truck or send someone out to inspect it. If there is an issue, I will make sure to get it corrected prior to pick up. The motor has a nice cam in it, 9.75 - 1 compression and solid lifters so it does make some noise. If I find anything with the wire or the plug or anything else, I will let you know.

Notchon Seller May 22, 7:49 am PDT

I checked all of the wires and plugs. One wire was not as snug as I would like it so tighten that up. One plug did not look at good as I would like so will replace that one. I also check and all plugs are getting spark. Regapped all of the plugs.

Notchon Seller May 21, 8:35 am PDT

Hi @Dieseldawg I have reponded to all of your questions. Not sure why you are not getting them. The last one was 5/19 at 5:58 PM PT. Maybe they are going to junk?

Notchon Seller May 21, 8:35 am PDT

Notchon Seller May 21, 8:39 am PDT

Notchon Seller May 21, 8:42 am PDT

Thank you for your question. We are not disclosing the reserve at this time. Both myself and the Restomod Team feel that we have set it below the actual value of the truck. Hope this helps.

Will there be a notification if the bids reach the reserve? Or we won’t know until the auction is completed?

Hi @BigQ No, reserve-met is not revealed by the system. We leave that up to the seller to choose to reveal via the comments if they want.

Yes, there are a few towards the botttom of the drive door. This is the only place on the truck that has them. A pint of paint will be included in the sale. Please let me know if you have more questions or need more details. Thanks.

Notchon Seller May 19, 6:54 am PDT

When you see the truck in person you can see how straight it is and all to work that went into the paint orginanally. It looke great in the pictures but even better in person. The entire truck has been color sanded, including the inside of the bed. Since I have had the truck it has always been stored inside. I have only cleaned it with detailer and towels, never with a hose, pressure washer or car wash.

Dieseldawg May 19, 7:06 am PDT

are the bubbles apparent in any of the pictures
