Vehicle Description
Cool, unique, retro, all words that can describe our black on black
Blackwood. This truck runs strong, has a no accident Carfax and low
miles for its age. We have recently serviced and fixed the air bag
suspension, added new brakes, full service, new wheels and tires
(comes with the original lincoln wheels), the paint has been
refreshed as well. This is a cool truck and gets lots of looks and
stares, it is not perfect but it looks very good and runs strong,
the interior is a very solid 7 out of 10 and so is the body. This
truck has no issues hauling a trailer or heading into town for
dinner. A very unique and collectible truck. The Lincoln Blackwood:
The brand's first foray into the pickup truck market -- an
experiment that lasted for only one model year, 2002, before
cancellation. The truck remains one of the most bizarre vehicles
ever to wear a Lincoln badge. And in spite of its major failure, I
still consider it to be unusually appealing. By ""unusually
appealing,"" what I mean is that each time I see a Blackwood on the
street, I take a picture of it and then the owner walks up to ask
me if I'm mentally ill. Here are the basics: To create the
Blackwood, Lincoln took a Ford F-150 SuperCrew pickup and gave it
new body panels, a new interior and a new grille. Each Blackwood
was also fitted with a truly primitive navigation system, a 4-speed
automatic transmission and a 300-horsepower 5.4-liter V8. Oh, and a
$53,000 sticker price, which is about $70,000 in today's money, a
gigantic markup over the F-150. Needless to say, the Blackwood
didn't have a very long run: Lincoln built it for only one year,
during which time they made just 3,356 total units. So why did the
Blackwood fail? I would say the fact that it had a trunk is one
major reason. Yes, that's right: The Blackwood was a pickup truck
with a trunk, or rather a bed cover, which came standard from the
factory. The purpose of this was never adequately explained.
Neither was the truck's split rear tailgate, the strange lines
painted on its rear fenders or the 1,200-pound payload capacity --
which meant the truck came dangerously close to being overloaded
with five normal-sized adults sitting inside. Eventually, Lincoln
re-entered the pickup market with the Mark LT, though that lasted
only three model years For additional vehicle pictures and to see a
