Vehicle Description
This 1989 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat 4x4 has a lot of appeal with its
fuel-injected V8, overdrive transmission, four-wheel drive prowess,
and a ton of potential.
The two-tone red and white has the same kind of all-American appeal
as a Coca-Cola bottle. This example shows all the right signs of
being original. This is very much approaching a patina kind of
style, which is kind of cool, especially because this is believed
to be a North Carolina truck all its life thus far. And this
southern boy still knows how to get to work, full bed rails, tow
mirrors, a proper trailer hitch, and a job-ready bed. So this seems
to be quite ready for some honest pickup fun.
The interior continues the worn-in kind of honesty. For some of
this is pure classic truck cool, and you can see the right sign of
good care in places like the nice headliner and smooth dash. It's
built with a driver in mind, and so you have features like a
fold-down center armrest, cruise control, and the factory
AM/FM/cassette stereo. Plus, the side vent windows and sliding rear
glass combine to give you that ideal breeze flowing through the
cab. And because this is a premium XLT Lariat there are provisions
for desirable factory options like power windows, power locks, and
air conditioning. They will need servicing and/or parts to full
function again.
Under the hood is Ford's hardy 5.0-liter V8. This is from the
desirable fuel-injection years. And speaking of desirable, you also
have the two-speed 4x4 transfer case controlled with easy to
operate/service features like locking hubs and a manual floor
shifter. Power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a
four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive complete a classic
truck package with modern appeal.
This is the truck that needs some shadetree mechanic love. You may
choose to work on the transfer case, tune-up the motor, update the
interior, restore the air conditioning, or another project that
really customizes this classic. Sometimes the fun of a classic is
the work you put into it, and this gives you a good V8 4x4 base for
what your imagination wants to accomplish. Call now!
