Vehicle Description
This 1985 Ford F-150 XLT has a lot of appeal with its hardy V8. And
rarely do you find a classic truck with a ton of potential that
already has desirable features like cold-blowing air conditioning,
power windows, and an overdrive transmission.
The red paint shows the right signs of being original. It has the
kind of fade and corrosion that makes it a kind of cool patina. But
there are also some of you who just recognize a good base for a
restoration/transformation. This has some nice features for added
flair like the chrome bumpers, full-length trim, classic hood
ordainment, and upgraded dual exhaust tips. Of course, an F-Series
is great for real truck duty, too, and that's why you have the
towing mirrors, a proper trailer hitch, and a work-ready bed.
The interior continues the worn-in kind of honesty. For some of
this is pure classic truck cool, and those who want to make
improvements know that most of the components are easily available
on the aftermarket. But from day one, you get some nice features.
The upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo, power windows, cruise control, and a
tilt steering column make this far more comfortable than the
average patina farm truck. This even has cold-blowing R134a air
conditioning!
Under the hood is Ford's hardy 5.0-liter V8. This is an ideal year
for having some fun because this is a carbureted setup. So that's
easy to have some weekend fun working to unleash the full power
potential of this mighty V8. And no matter what your plans are for
this pickup, the four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive
is desirable when you're looking to cruise. Power steering, power
brakes, and front discs 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 paint/body, tune up the motor, update the
interior, add your favorite truck tires, or another project that
really customizes this F-150. Sometimes the fun of a classic is the
work you put into it, and this gives you a feature-filled base for
what your imagination wants to accomplish. Call now!
