1997 Ford F250 - 4WD - 7.5L V8 - Automatic Transmission - 150k
Miles - White and Blue Over Gray Interior (Please note: If you
happen to be viewing this 1997 Ford F250 on a website other than
our Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible that you've only seen
some of our many photographs of the truck due to third-party
website limitations. To be sure you access all the more than 165
photographs, as well as a short start-up and walk-around video, and
a link to its accident and damage-free Carfax history, please go to
our main website: Garage Kept Motors.) The (F250) Tenth
Generation... between 1997 and 2003 �€" Joe Cotton Ford, Carol
Stream, IL This is where Ford made some major changes to its
F-Series lineup and was basically split into two categories: F-150
became a contemporary personal use truck, while the F-250 and F-350
became classified as working-class trucks. Offered here is a 1997
Ford F250 extended cab 4WD pickup in white-and-blue over gray. A
well-maintained, 7.5-liter-V8- powered working-class truck, its
odometer currently reads 150,215 miles, or fewer than 6,300 miles
per-year since new. The refreshed white exterior paint shows very
well with good overall gloss and smooth finish across all metal and
fiberglass body panels; there is no impact damage to any panel. The
lower dark-blue side accent adds flair. Added cab-extension side
panels and windshield visor are properly installed. (To best assess
the quality of the paint and trim finishes, please be sure to view
the close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.)
Chrome work-on the front grille, both bumpers, front brush bar,
West-Coast-style mirrors, and added body-side trim-is all in
excellent condition. Original Ford oval grille emblem, F250
Heavy-Duty front-fender emblems, and Ford embossing on the tailgate
are all in place. The cargo box shows signs of wear from normal
work use, but not abuse or lack of proper care. Cabin glass
(including sliding rear window) and lighting lenses are clear.
Factory dish-style, 16-inch polished-alloy wheels are mounted with
GoodYear® Wrangler 235/75 LT outline-white-letter tires. The F250's
interior color theme is gray: carpeting, fabric upholstery on the
front bucket (with center seat) and rear jump seat, and door trim
are all executed in shades of gray. Seat upholstery shows wear,
especially in front; carpets and headliner show soiling. The
2-spoke early multi-function steering wheel frames the full analog
instrument cluster set in the black dash. The shift lever for the
automatic transmission is mounted on the steering column, and the
factory audio system remains mounted above the HVAC controls.
(Please view the close-up photography in the gallery to assess the
condition of the F250's interior surfaces.) Under the hood, the
7.5-liter Ford V8 commands a clean and properly ordered engine bay.
All components are in place with K&N low-restriction air
filtration added. Viewed from below, the chassis is straight and
undamaged. Light surface rust is present on some untreated metal.
The truck's original identification and information tags remain
mounted. The full set of owner literature is included in the sale.
While the more than 165 high-definition photographs and the short
walk-around-and-startup video available on the GarageKeptMotors
website showcase this '197 Ford F250 in detail from every angle,
including from below, we expect and encourage in-person inspections
at our Grand Rapids, Michigan showroom. Please call to arrange an
appointment in advance as our showroom is not open to the public.
And feel free to get in touch anytime by phone or email if you have
questions. Well-maintained tenth-generation Ford work trucks are
always a great find. This F250 4WD crew cab is a perfect example.
