Vehicle Description
With the new Ford F-150 Lightning hitting the streets, the market
is heating up for the originals. So it's great to find a first-year
1993 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning that has been given a custom style
that fits right in with its era. So as you look over this
performance pickup, you see the ideal mix of terrific preservation
with a distinct style that really takes you back to when this
first-ever Lightning was the new kid on the block.
When it comes to classics, we always look for the originals. When
the SVT Lightning first showed up in 1993 less than 2,700 were done
in the aggressive Raven Black. So this one already has rarity, but
the paintwork gives this one singularity. It was sold new in Coon
Rapids, Minnesota, and the city also happens to be home to LeRoy's
Customs - a well-respected Midwest customizer. So this was given
the proper 1990s street machine style with full custom side
graphics with blue and a purple fade. It almost gives the look of
the last moment of sunlight on a snowy Minnesota winter evening.
It's an impressive style locked in with a glossy clearcoat. There's
even an upgraded grille and running boards for added custom style.
The finish and the panels have quite a well-respected appearance,
and the odometer is even believed to represent the full mileage -
averaging under 2k miles annually. Not only does this look sharp,
but it also remains a practical pickup. There's a full bed liner
and a hard-shell tonneau cover. So you have a more aerodynamic
muscle truck and a well-finished cargo area. And there's even a
proper trailer hitch rear.
The interior got a big upgrade over the standard F-150. After all,
a sports truck needs sports seats, so these got exclusive buckets
with cool Lightning stitching in the headrest. They have
power-adjustable bolstering and plenty of leg support, so they can
be grippy yet comfortable for all-day drives. It has a terrific
look that reinforces the feeling of a well-respected custom truck.
As a premium pickup, you also got all the best features. This
includes power windows, power locks, cruise control, a sliding rear
window, a cup holder center console, the factory AM/FM/cassette
stereo, and cold-blowing air conditioning. The tilt steering column
gives you a good view of the full set of gauges, and the 120 mph
speedometer is a genuine reflection of how speedy this truck
is.
The Lightning received a reworked version of Ford's fuel-injected
5.8-liter V8. The true secret to this 351W is the heads and intake
are very similar to the GT-40 setup used on the Mustang Cobra. The
4.10 limited-slip rear end on these were built to give this truck
power take-offs, but this fast Ford has a practical side, too. It's
linked to a quick-shifting AOD four-speed automatic transmission
with overdrive. There's also power steering, power brakes, front
discs, and wide modern tires on those SVT buzzsaw-like wheels. So
it's really up to you to choose between mild or wild anytime you
want.
The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, warranty
card, and owner's manual packet. This is the first-year muscle
pickup that has its own unique style. It makes for a true classic
that is going to be a distinct standout everywhere it goes. Call
