Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery of Traverse City is pleased to present this well
kept southern
2001 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning for your consideration. Ford teamed
up with
their Special Vehicle Team in 1993 to come up with a good looking,
powerful
single cab truck to compete with the then popular Chevrolet 454SS.
With goals
to enhance the sporty, personal use image that became popular, they
created
the SVT Lightning and started it off with a modest 5.8L boasting a
solid 240 hp
but also added many great modifications to the suspension and frame
to
improve the handling. By 1995 they sold over ten thousand models
and
although the market was there, they decided to discontinue the
Lightning until
its second unveiling in 1999. When they reintroduced this beast of
a truck, they
listened very closely to the consumers demands for more power and
changed
out the engine choice with a supercharged, 360 hp 5.4L V8 to put
all the
naysayers to rest. With an all new design and a beefed up gearbox
borrowed
from their Super Duty lineup, the legend grew from then on until
their final
build out in 2004.
This well preserved example of the 2001 Ford SVT F-150 Lightning
shows very
well and still has mileage well under a 100k! With all the styling
in the world,
this model has the Bright Red exterior paired well with its
Graphite Gray interior
and although this is still a truck, it has the lines of a race car!
The interior hosts
the SVT leather interior, 6-way power driver seat, 6-disc CD/AM/FM
media
center with premium sound and a sliding rear window. With great
upgrades to
the drivability of this vehicle, Ford made standard a host of
options including
SVT power 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, SVT springs and shocks,
SVT
supercharger with intercooler and nice touches like cruise control,
remote
keyless entry and the SVT dual exhaust system. With all the great
standard
features, styling this is a great find for anyone who can
appreciate fast trucks in
great condition! Also included in the sale are all original manuals
and books and
original brochures!
