85 F-150 XLT Lariat 4x4 Shortbed

[Austin]

How does that make you feel?

v8, 4 spd? miles unknown. Price $1450

Not terrible for the toy I've been searching for. I won't be afraid to beat it up either!

Paint is faded, but I'll be a master paint sprayer after my FSD

Needs new driver's side fender, or does it?

Dual exhaust and tool box

HOLY CHIT!!! your right mark... you cant see it from the pics from the front, but the pic showing the duals and tool box... look in the cab at the front windshield.... holy ****!!!

Chris, for the record my F100 has the same exact damage on it as that truck, and it's never been wrecked.

As for the "crack", that looks more like wrinkled up window tint or a Christmas decoration than a crack.

Either way, I'm a 7th gen guy, but i'd pass it up. Nothin on that truck even remotely interested me aside from the four wheel drive. Oh yea, and it is NOT an XLT Lariat. It's not even an XLT, or an XL. It's just a plain base model.

Windshield doesn't bother me, nor does the damage from the front.

Not terribly worried about the trim level either.

All I see when I look at it is 4x4.

 

[Fordzilla80]

Throw some stone in the 450, you don't need 4x4.

I'm finishing my perfectly straight 450, she's not seeing off road anytime soon!

For a toy... Hell yeah I'd buy it. There is plenty of oportunity for improvement.

^^^I agree. If it's simply a woods beater, and not intended on being used as a dd, I'd go for it if I could get in it for under a grand, if not, I'd pass, too many other 'better' beaters for a grand out there.

Itll ride rough bein a shortbed and 4wd.

And a beater she shall be. Not sure if I can get the guy down to a grand or not.

I'm thinking that the swb will help me out with clearance.

My F-Superduty is a rough ride.

If ya think the swb will help with clearance then get a bronco.

Broncos are hot ticket items around here. You can't step in one for under 2k without traveling.

Okay, I wouldn't touch this thing with a 4378290' pole.

Minimal rust in the usual places. The fender bender was more of a wreck. The front was knocked out of alignment. I hopped in and the interior was a mess of wires. I put my foot on the clutch to start it and the truck started rolling - the parking break didn't work!

It has a miss somewhere. Does sound okay though.

Value: $500. Actual price: $1300.

No thanks!
