Ford F-150 302 V8 1985

General description : 1 SOUTHERN OWNER, 99K ACT. MILES, 302 V8, AUTO, FACT AC, DUAL TANKS, SOLID F150!

You know that truck that impresses everyone for being cool, premium, and the kind that they just haven't seen in a while? This 1985 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat Explorer is it! With a slick black exterior, loaded interior, and plenty of interesting features (including the dual tanks), it's a survivor-grade pickup with all the right moves.
We love the way this one-owner F-150 has been cared for over the years. The straightness of the body panels tells you this was no workhorse, and even the paint looks like it could be original. The condition is not showroom perfect, but it still retains a level of shine and detail that tells you it was one cherished pickup. We love the details on this one, too. Like the red and silver pinstripe package that highlights the full-length crease in the sheetmetal. And the chrome bumpers have a terrific shine. Plus, the addition of Cragar SS wheels really does give this timeless appeal. But more than just look good, this pickup can still earn it's keep. Features like the tow mirrors, trailer hitch, and dual fuel tanks are the kind of things that make this looker the ideal one to tow the toys.
That exterior pinstriping is also a nice preview of the interior. Canyon Red was a great color to have in the Mustangs of this time, and so it's also quite welcomed to see sporty hue inside this pickup. And since this factory-correct color has a time capsule-like quality, it just enhances the feeling of care for the F-150. But there's also a premium side, too. You see it in the wood paneling on the dash as well as the factory steering wheel. Plus, you get features like cruise control and the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo. There's even factory air conditioning. But we know your favorite breezes will be from opening the side vent windows and sliding the rear glass.
A proper pickup needs the real power, and this has the correct 302 cubic-inch V8. It looks quite authentic in the engine bay, and you can tell from the condition of the belts, wires, and hoses that it's always received proper maintenance. So you've got a truck with the power to do everything from make Home Depot runs to tow the trailer for a camping weekend. Plus, the four-speed automatic transmission has a highway-friendly overdrive for true long haul comfort. Add in the twin I-beam front suspension, power steering, and power brakes with discs up front, and this classic pickup can easily maintain its manners the road.
The sale comes with all the right paperwork you want in a cherished pickup, including the original window sticker, warranty card, bill of sale, title docs, and dealer invoice. A great classic with a stellar history always has appeal, so when it's also this useful and priced so nicely means it's going to be leaving us quickly. Call now!!!

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.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
