Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Houston is proud to present this 1985 Ford F250 XLT. This XLT Diesel comes equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission is currently only showing only 92,285 CarFax documented miles! The 7th generation of the Ford F-Series is a range of trucks that was produced by Ford from the 1980 to 1986 model years. The first complete redesign of the F-Series since the 1965 model year, the seventh generation received a completely new chassis and body, distinguished by flatter body panels and a squarer grille. This generation marked several firsts for the model line, including the introduction of the Ford Blue Oval grille emblem, the introduction of a diesel engine to the model line, and a dashboard with a full set of instruments. While the dashboard design remained the same, the optional woodgrain trim was updated for a more modern appearance and the seat trim was updated. As an option on higher-trim vehicles, Ford introduced a brushed-aluminum overlay trim panel for the rear tailgate, mounted flush between the taillamps. In 1982, Ford did something revolutionary for the consumer truck market. They partnered with International Harvester to introduce the 6.9Liter IDI diesel engine in their heavy-duty truck lineup. The 6.9Liter IDI diesel engine became an available option on 1983 model year trucks. It offered comparable horsepower numbers to Ford's 6.6Liter V8 gasoline engine at the time but had 6% more torque. Owners opting for the new 6.9l IDI engine also reaped the benefits of a diesel engine, including heavier duty components for better durability and significantly better fuel economy. This 1985 XLT is also equipped with the 4-speed manual transmission, brake booster, CB radio, power steering, power windows, power door locks and A/C (not connected). The mid-80's diesels are starting to come into their own in today's market and are expected to continue rising, so if a low mileage diesel is on your want list, this one might check all the boxes!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
