It's a big statement but I mean it, famine or death is the only way I will part with this beauty. I bought it 4 months ago and it is stunning, the pictures do not do it any justice. I take the dust cover off once in a blue moon only to move it, or admire it, I don't care. It may seem sacrilege or a waste, but it is mine to choose how to enjoy it! It does run, but it will never see daylight or dirt and I'm happy with that for sure. I wish all my vintage Tamiya looked like this! It will be ReRe'd soon and I'm sure prices will cool off, but I'm just not bothered : )

This is an amazing ford ranger! A totally perfect example and even better then the standard with those extras! We all have models that are our favorites and proper keepers!
but this ranger....Wow!!!
Simon DON'T SELL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SRBs are special! My remaining Tamiya are all keepers but if push came to shove and I had to sell some....my SRBs would not be sold! And of course my treasured Holiday Buggy is a Keeper!
Very nice indeed mate that's a beautiful Ranger!!!

Stunning !!!!!

Someone has obviously put a lot of time, effort and cash into building their perfect Ranger, it looks stunning. It's quite a find (though I guess it wasn't cheap!!). We certainly know you appreciate it!!

Hi Grumps - Is this the one you got from Kougercat? Really liked it when he was moving it on and should have jumped at the chance - but Mrs Doc would have gone mad - LOL (as bought my Can-Am hybrid from him days earlier - which I also love to bits). Great car, nice to see it again, Kougercat is a great guy and you are a lucky man so enjoy this one and keep up with your great posts

Klausen, Thank you that is high praise indeed. Thank you robertoro as well, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Ah James thank you buddy, sweet ride isn't she? You're right some need to be kept and for me Srb's, WW's and 3 Speeds are the hard core keepers. I'm trying to keep the very original or mint for shelf duty and some hardcore occasional runners for the dirty stuff!

simensays, thank you! I have been admiring your WW's again today and the fabulous parts that you have designed. Crash Cramer, thanks bud. I appreciate your comments.

Thank you Tamiyamandan, I know you are a man with good taste! Thank you IBIFTKH, I'm pretty sure this was built using mostly new parts 6 or 7 years ago, I'm not sure what Ranger prices were like then whole or in parts. But it has taken someone a fair bit of time and cash your right on that one, as well as the fact I appreciate it!

Hi Doc, you're right this is the Ranger from Kougercat, I thought it was time add my own photos to my showroom entry! He is a a great guy and I am a lucky man to own this one. Thank you for the feedback as well I really appreciate it.

I have to say I dont regret selling this beauty because it has gone to the perfect home !
Do I miss it on my shelf ? Yes of course but sometimes needs must ....
Just so glad its gone to someone who appreciates it as much as I did !
Just thought I would have another look at it for a quick SRB fix lol
