Vehicle Detail

I bought this truck from the original owner. It must have been his baby because it is a VERY NICE truck. The paint is amazing on this vehicle. You can see a few spots along the truck where it had a ding before the new paint job but nothing major. When I bought from him he said that the engine was new and had 20,000 miles on it. I haven't even put 1000 miles on it since I had it, so I'm saying it has 21K miles on it. I just was going to put it up and save it. The reason I bought it is because my first truck was a 79 F150 and I wanted to get my son a 79 F150 for his first truck. THIS TRUCK IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION that I bought it for him. I hadn't drove it, only saw pictures of it. Once the truck came in and I drove it, I knew that it was WAY TOO MUCH POWER for my son. The old guy I bought it from told me he put a COBRA ENGINE (6.6L 400) in it but I never thought it would be as powerful as it is. As you can see in the pics it has some mud tires on it and when I take her out on a drive if I'm not careful she will spin those mud tires just taking off from a red light. I have used the 4 Wheel drive 2 times just to lock it in and use it but I didn't raw hide it...just drove it around to cycle the gears and stuff. The seat inside the truck is new and very nice as well. The dash cover/pad does have a crack in it (that you can't see in the pic) but it will need replacing...other than that, this truck is in great condition to be 31 YEARS OLD. I get compliments on it everytime I take it out. It has an old CB Radio in it. I turned it on a couple times and it worked, but I just noticed that it's not powering on so maybe it's a fuse or something. It has a soft tonneau cover that snaps over the back and looks great on there. I'm serious....this truck is so nice. I hate to get rid of it but have a new baby girl on the way and have to sell my toy. I'm not a very knowledgable person when it comes to all of this, but I will try to answer any questions you may have. I have only ran Super Unleaded through this engine. I can't say what the previous owner used. I CANNOT EXPRESS TO YOU HOW NICE THIS TRUCK IS! I'm sure there are alot of things that I'm not thinking to tell you about the truck so if you have questions please ask. Like I say, I don't know alot about these trucks. I just bought it for sentimental reasons and it was so nice. I will update this if I think of things that may need to be added. VERY POWERFUL 6.6 Liter 400 Cobra Engine (notice the Cobra emblem on the hood) with approximately 21K miles on the engine (engine redone about 2 years ago) Sliding rear window with Gun Rack New Seat Paint Job about 1.5-2 years old Soft Tonneau Cover Still has original window sticker, protecto plate, and dealer info in the glove compartment from the guy I bought it from (He was the original owner) Low Reserve I AM OPEN TO OFFERS AND TRADES OR COMBINATIONS OF THE TWO. Shipping is at the buyer's expense. I will deliver the truck within a 100 mile radius of El Paso, TX. Thanks and good luck!

I reserve the right to end the listing early. Thanks...On Aug-30-10 at 23:05:23 PDT, seller added the following information: Someone emailed and asked me if this truck was "perfect". I won't go so far as to say it is perfect, but it is very nice. As I mentioned in the listing, you can see some small dings here and there that was there before the new paint job was put on it, but that's about the extent of it. I don't think there is anything major though. It is a 31 year old truck and it's very nice to be so old....as you can see in the pictures. I wouldn't want to mislead anyone to think it is "perfect"...........I really love this truck and hate to see it go. I feel confident that the winning bidder will be just as pleased as I am (and was when I received it). Please let me know if you have anymore questions..............thanks!On Aug-31-10 at 11:44:39 PDT, seller added the following information: I just noticed that I put the same photo 2 times. I meant to add a picture of the engine and tonneau cover, so please notice that I added that picture for you to see. Thanks for the bids.....Looks like this truck is going to whoever the high bidder is. On Sep-01-10 at 18:42:50 PDT, seller added the following information: I just added 8 more photos. Hopefully you can see even better, in detail, how great the paint and condition is. There are A LOT of people "watching" this truck (over 30). Please be prepared to bid accordingly so that they don't get you in the last few seconds........ Thanks....and hope you like the added pics...On Sep-07-10 at 15:13:32 PDT, seller added the following information: THIS TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 85 PEOPLE "WATCHING" IT. IT HAS 1 DAY 22 HOURS LEFT AS I AM TYPING THIS, SO THAT SHOULD SHOW YOU HOW NICE IT IS. PEOPLE LOOK AT THIS TRUCK AND ALWAYS ADMIRE IT AND COMMENT ON IT. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE BIDDERS (LIKE ME) THAT LIKES TO WIN LISTINGS IN THE LAST FEW SECONDS YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED TO ENTER YOUR ULTIMATE, ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM BID. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ITEM WITH SO MANY PEOPLE "WATCHING" IT. I HOPE IF YOU ARE THE ONE THAT IS MEANT TO GET THIS TRUCK OR YOU ARE THE ONE THAT REALLY WANTS IT THE MOST THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO WIN IT.........BUT YOUR BID WILL TELL THE TALE. GOOD LUCK!
