This truck was never in snow or salt. Was always garage kept and stored in the winter. Never raced or wrecked. I purchased the Lightning from a local Ford Dealer in 2002. Truck had around 14,000 miles on it. The original owner traded the Lightning in for a more user friendly family vehicle in the spring of 2002. I drove the Lightning some, but mostly used it for car shows and cruises. Was always kept clean and waxed with ceramic wax. Always well maintained. Always used Ford synthetic oil and filters. Everything works on this truck, including the air. Never has to have A/C worked on.
Vehicle has less than 39.200 miles on it. Price is firm. No joy rides. Selling because of health reasons.
