1973 Ford F-100 2WD Regular Cab

RARE FIND – Meet “The Grasshopper,” a 1973 Ford F-100 2WD Regular Cab with a rich history and unmistakable character. Originally purchased new by a rancher’s wife in Basalt, Colorado, this truck has spent nearly its entire life nestled in the scenic Roaring Fork Valley. Acquired by its second and current owner in 1981, it has remained well cared for over the past four decades. Finished in vibrant Tampico Yellow, repainted in the summer of 2024, this F-100 is powered by a strong 360 V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission—complete with a granny gear for hill climbing and field work. Factory options were minimal—just power steering and an AM radio, which has since been upgraded to a Sony AM/FM stereo, a thoughtful Christmas gift from the owner’s son. With just 102,000 original miles (about 2,000 annually), this classic has been faithfully maintained with regular oil changes, tune-ups, new brakes and tires (about 5 years ago), a professionally sprayed bedliner, and a recently replaced seat cover. It runs and drives beautifully and is now looking for its next caretaker, as the owner—now in his seventies—drives it less and hopes to see it go to a good home. A true Colorado classic with soul, story, and style.
