-havent took many of it since i got it. heck, havent even had it out that much! but this is the 27k mile '89 GT bought new in Tocca, Ga. went from there to West Palm Beach, Fl. kinda hazy then, depending upon who you believe, then to east of Columbus, Ohio. then i snatched it from there....have spoken with the original owner and he was very kind and helpful. didnt know where his "old" truck had gone. stated it had 23k on it when he sold it, even though he really didnt want to sell. but he is partially disabled and it was hard 4 him to change gears. so now it will be here for my kids to fight over (or sell) as they see fit....maybe one day i'll get it out!!!!


here it is as it has been since 1990 to 2008. original owner purchased the Enkei wheels and tires after a blowout of one of the original Generals....



as she sits now in my garage.....(yes I added the white bullets about a week or 2 before this pic...)

My credo
Toonces drives a Ranger . . . . just not very well.
A pox on you, sir, as my keyboard is now ruined from my drooling on it.

NICE TRUCK!

Thanks for the pics.

-i tracked this truck for about 4 years, and spent the last 1 and a half years of that negotiating and bargining on it to get it. Unless God Himself says to get rid of it, I doubt it will be leaving my residence anytime soon....(much to the cha-grin of my wife)....:icon_rofl:

i got a couple of interior shots somewhere i'll find and post later....

That undercarriage looks clean enough to eat your lunch off of.

Is it "Colonial White," aka "Wimbledon White?" Agree that the brighter-white rims look a bit "off" in the garage, but out in the sun the difference is probably less noticeable.

Sweet-looking truck, though! I'll bet it's among the nicest GenII Rangers in the entire world!
