1987 FORD

F250 XLT Lariat

Extended Cab 4x4

VIN: 1FTHX26L0HKA32006

I'm often asked where we find these clean, unique vehicles. My good friend cruises through the parking lot of retirement homes, Elks clubs, our V.F.W. Hall and the small-town back streets of rural towns near Seattle. He can spot a seatbelt slammed in a door a mile away... He'll notice when a nice old car or truck is driving with a turn signal left on just a little too long and he positively twitches with glee when a vehicle with metal bumpers passes by! Occasionally, we'll get really lucky and find one sitting there right under our noses. That's the case with this nice truck as it belonged to a neighbor right near our place here in Auburn. If you're in the market for clean vintage pickup, please give this top-of-the-line F250 4x4 your kind attention. Feel free to contact me with questions or to discuss a sale before the end of the Ebay auction listing. My name is Mark and you can reach me directly by phone or text at 206/914-1173.

CONDITION:

The photos really tell the truck's story. It has spent most of its life here in the Great Pacific Northwest driving our salt-free western Washington roads. From the photos, you'll see the rig has obviously been well cared for over the years. We've found absolutely NO evidence of any major accidents, storm damage, insurance salvage, theft recovery, repossession or any other nasty negatives to cause you concern as the next caretaker! The Carfax report included here in the auction listing backs up the condition and further verifies a zero accident history or any negative title issues.

I take pride in our vehicles and feel that you should know as much about them as possible. Accordingly, here's a list of the good and any small things needing attention: As the photos show, the overall exterior is in very good condition (all the pics were taken on August 5, 2018). The rig wears the factory two-tone colors and has had one good quality re-spray. There are no rock chips or dents. Rust? Please, this classic Ford HATES rust and you'd be hard pressed to find ANYTHING here to worry about! Because we rarely get snow west of the Cascades in both Washington and Oregon, our winter roads are never salted. Climb over, under and throughout - I know you'll come up smiling! Back in 1987 this was the about the nicest, most deck-out Ford you could buy and its classic style and durability have proven themselves over the passing years.

One turn of the key and the strong 7.5 Liter V-8 fires right up. There's a throaty rumble to the exhaust (some caused by a very typical exhaust manifold leak) but mostly due to the new straight-pipe exhaust system you see in the underside photos. Of course, there's a tilt steering column, power steering, brakes and windows (all work). The power front disk brakes stop the rig just fine with no pulling or binding. The four-wheel drive system appears to work just as it should. Diamond plate was added to the interior of the tailgate and front of the box years ago. The bed itself is in excellent condition with no rust holes. You've gotta love the aftermarket stainless heavy-duty rear bumper; it really adds to the hefty appearance. I can't tell you the number of times I've gotten a "thumbs up" pulling in at the gas station from a vintage truck admirer!

Please take another look at the interior pics. The front bucket upholstery is original and in excellent condition on both seats. I doubt the rear bench as been sat on more than a few dozen times over the years. Those are the original carpets and I'm sure they've been protected with mats. NO sagging or warped liner board either! All the glass is great including the windshield. About the only negatives we've encountered are: some attention needed to make the A/C blow cold (we're not sure what that will entail, though the heater works great). That's about it!If you're thinking of bidding on a comparable Chevy or Ram pickup of similar vintage, you really owe it to yourself to drive and look this nice F250 over first! Please don't be upset by a missed flaw or some unforeseen problem! No vintage used car or truck is ever perfect.

Because of the amount of money involved in buying a vehicle, we require that Ebay members with a feedback history of five or fewer transactions call, text or email before placing a bid. If I don't have this initial contact, your bid may be cancelled. As I've outlined above, the phone number to talk directly to me is 206/914-1173. Please feel free to call any time during the auction. My name is MARK. You're welcome and encouraged to come by my Auburn, WA warehouse to inspect & drive the truck. You might also make an offer as many of my vehicles sell to smart "early birds" that contact me and work out a deal prior to the auction's end. I always reserve the right to sell during this period.

A Few Additional Terms and Conditions:

Full payment is due by cash (in person only) or certified funds within seven business days unless prior arrangements have been made with me. I can accept credit or debit cards, but I'll first need to invoice you and ask that you cover the 3.5% fee our processor charges us. Please remember you're bidding to buy and I fully expect the winner to fulfill their Ebay contract! You're not bidding to hold or then come inspect and test-drive the vehicle later -- You're more than welcome to do this before the auction ends.

If you decide to have theF250 transported home, there are scores of companies to choose from. I ship vehicles regularly and am happy to make suggestions about who to use. In addition to quotes using the shipping tab here on the auction site, you might also get bids directly from U-Ship.com. You'll be able to choose a broker from multiple offers. The zip code for pick-up would be 98002 (Auburn, Washington). We do have a transporter that regularly delivers for us to western states and has arranged transport to the Midwest and East Coast as well. Ultimately, shipping of the vehicle and company chosen are the responsibility of the BUYER.
