Vehicle Description
This 1990 Ford F-150 is at an interesting crossroads. It's an
exceptionally original pickup with a loaded interior and low miles
on its numbers-matching fuel-injected V8. And at this affordable
price, it's just as capable as a collector vehicle as it is a
workhorse... and that's before you discovered this Ford's wild
side.
The two-tone Medium Cabernet with metallic light smoke is just how
you remembered it because it's the same paint that came from the
factory more than a quarter-century ago. And yes, it really does
look this good in person as it does in the pictures. It takes very
careful ownership to have a vehicle that was destined to be a used
up during everyday working, and instead it still can still shine up
all these years later. The XLT Lariat trim package added a pleasing
amount of brightwork to the truck, and even an extra pinstripe in
the full-length body crease. All of it remains in very good
condition, from the wheel well moldings, to the shiny factory
wheels, to the big chrome bumpers, to the brushed stainless steel
tailgate insert. But it's the accessories that let you know this
well-preserved pickup is still ready to work. The front bug shield
and tubular side steps offer more everyday usability. In back, the
bed liner and ARE bed cover mean not only can you still carry the
heavy loads in this long bed pickup, but also you can securely lock
them up if your first stop isn't home. Plus, the tow hitch will
make you the coolest vehicle everywhere from the boat ramp to the
campsite.
Inside is Ford's upscale XLT Lariat interior, which features a
comfortable red cloth on the seats and woodgrained trim on the dash
to give it a more luxurious feel. It's 100% original, and even the
bench shows only light modest wear. There's a fold-down center
console so you can decide if you want to carry two friends or have
a more individual level of comfort. Regardless of how many people
are inside, this is quite a luxurious experience. Power windows,
power locks, and the original AM/FM/cassette stereo are features
you don't find on many vintage pickups today. The original factory
steering wheel has the buttons for cruise control, and beyond that
is a full set of factory gauges, including optional tach.
The original 5.0-liter V8 is under the hood, and it's a great
choice in the F-150. Averaging less than 2,400 miles annually, this
pickup has led a pampered life. And low mileage does not mean it
missed out on servicing, and we have the maintenance records to
prove it. The fuel-injected motor neatly straddles the line between
power and economy, and if you take a closer look, this one has a
bit of an upgrade. The K&N cold air intake and newer dual
exhaust system with long tube headers means this sturdy V8 has more
power and rumble than its sturdy appearance might suggest. It's
mated to a rugged four-speed automatic overdrive transmission
that's a great choice for anytime driving. Plus, with power
steering, front disc brakes, and Goodyear tires, this is a
comfortable cruiser. In fact, this F-150 is built for the long haul
thanks to the dual fuel tanks.
When you check out the original window sticker, you realize it's
the perfect mix of rugged and comfort. All of this comes in a
nicely preserved pickup that's price to move quickly. So you
already know you're going to have to act fast to take this one
home. Call today!!!
