Look What We Found: 1976 Ford F-250 Custom
CARS.COM — Ford’s redesigned F-250 Super Duty pickup truck is packed with as much technology as any car or SUV, with available features like adaptive cruise control and Ford’s Sync 3 multimedia system. But if you’re looking for something a little more simple and straightforward to get the job done, we suggest this 1976 Ford F-250 Custom.

Claimed to be from the Dakotas but now in Virginia, Cars.com seller Erik says this regular-cab truck has minimal rust and that there are a little more than 84,000 miles on the odometer. He describes the truck as “well-preserved” but with some imperfections, which seems like an accurate description to us.
The paint and interior — which still has its original AM radio — appear to be in good shape, but you can tell from the scrapes in the cargo box that this truck has been used for work. I think I prefer it this way to a pristine cargo box, however, since it seems completely natural for a 41-year-old truck.
The asking price is $7,900, and recently added parts include a rebuilt carburetor, new gas tank, new exhaust piping and muffler, new tires and new spark plugs and wires for the 5.9-liter V-8 engine.
What do you think: Is it worth that much for a trip back in time, or is the price too rich for a humble truck like this?
