I tried to buy a Ranger today. And I failed.


Never had a Datsun but I know some people who love them.



I'm a Scranton native. Rust eats everything alive up there. I think it'd eat a Corvette given enough time... ;)

One time in Lewisburg I saw a Focus with a rusty plastic bumper.
 
Ok, next one:

Yee f***ing haw.

Called, left message. Guessing they're closed today.

Seriously appreciate you pulling the history/vin. Will head up tomorrow if they're open.
 
It is a nice looking truck, it even has the chrome shifter and neater ball like a Level II. It should have a Torsen too (basically a Level II minus the Alcoas I think)
 
I would probably go there for an FX4 and drive away with a first Gen Bronco.
 
That thing looks good from what you can see of it. Not sure my pockets would be deep enough for it though.
 
that is a nice looking truck. the first thing I would do after getting it is remove that gaudy dealership sticker off the tailgate..

side note, I noticed the rear seatbelts have the latch in the actual door... not sure I like that, but I guess a crash serious enough to compromise the integrity of the door is probably going to be fatal no matter where the seatbelts are hooked to...

Ahhh Gibbons is in Dickson City. Basically Scranton. My uncle is a big Gibbons fan (Crown Vic/ Merc GMarq guy). Very good dealership for what its worth.
 
It looks like a winner to me. I like the instrument cluster better than what I have and what they did with the stick shift.
 
Those seats look good.
 
With all the advertising it's gotten you might aughta be there at daylight ;)

but of course tell em you were just driving by hahaha
 
Here in PA even the stuff below US 30 usually isn't great, but you should see the crap you find above I-80.
Its all in how is was cared for. I had plenty of dodges from the 70's and 80's that had minimal rust. And from the coal region.
 
The Fords and GMs I had back in that era didn't fare so well. That's also what did in my 83 Ranger. The Great Salty Northeast.
