89 Ranger with 2.3L Turbo From SVO in Delaware, OH

Recommended Posts

Well I've decided to go ahead and sell my Ranger. It' an 89 Ranger XLT regular cab 2wd 5spd. with about 75,000 original miles on it. The engine that's in it is a 2.3 Liter Turbo out of an 84 Mustang SVO . The engine has about 50,000 original miles on it. I bought the truck about a year ago and just haven't had the time to mess with it like I originally planned. The body is perfect with unbelievably minor amounts of rust for the age. The engine runs pretty good considering it sat for two years before I bought it and all I had to do was change the fuel, oil, coolant, fuel pump, and throw in a new battery and it fired up with only a couple tries.

 

The truck is about 95% back together with just the talelights, mirrors, and a couple other exterior pieces needing put back on. I have all the parts for the truck sitting either in the cab or bed. The engine is fully intact and runs. I also have another style of intake manifold that was made that I'll throw in with the truck.

 

 

Asking $700 O.B.O. P.M. me if you have any questions.

Yes the truck moves, runs, and drives. I've never had it registered or insured because I was waiting to get it completely back together, so I've never had it out on the streets but have drivin it around my back yard. The turbo spools nicely and there doesn't seem to be any real problem with it. I'd say it does need a couple fluid flushes, like brakes and power steering but other than that it's pretty nice considering it's age.

It's actually primered right now. The guy that had it started painting it but never finished so it was multi-colored, so I just sanded down the areas that needed it and primered over top to make it look better.

The Tale Gate was kinda bad cause when I bought the truck it was laying off to the side in the dirt. Oh and I have the tail Lights in the truck.

The seats are surprisingly really good, don't know if there original or not.

Don't know what he was thinkin painting the door but I bought some interior paint that should match it back up pretty good.

Just got the truck cleaned up good today. I drove it in the parking lot next to my house and I must say I was a little surprised. It runs good and the turbo spooled up beautifully. It has alot of torque and seemed to run good after about 15 minutes of full throttle first gear accelerations. Didn't have enough space for much more than that.
