Ford F-150 5.0 Liter V8 1990
General description :
WELL PRESERVED, 5.0L V8, AUTO, 82K MI, LOADED, PWR EVERYTHING, NICE BODY, CLEAN!
This is the kind of truck you get to enjoy today and watch the admiration rapidly appreciate. After all, this 1990 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat is a loaded pickup that's still ready to take its fuel-injected V8 to work. But it's also starting to get those stares that remind people of when they first saw these flat-faced workhorses.
Here's an interesting dilemma. We saw plenty of these F-150s on the road a quarter century ago. The tough-guy square styling really resonated with pickup people, and Ford sold plenty. The problem is that today, there are not too many of these icons around that haven't seen a hard life. These F-150s were workhorses, so the few that you do find are often very far from the condition they left the showroom in. This truck is the one diamond in the rough. It has a great period-correct two-tone, and sheetmetal that has led a good life. The XLT Lariat trim package added a pleasing amount of brightwork to the truck, and there's even an extra pinstripe in the full-length body crease. All of it remains in very good condition, from the wheel well moldings, to the shiny factory wheels, to the big chrome bumpers, to the brushed stainless steel tailgate insert. Plus, the bedrails and rubber mat means this one can do much more than the weekend chores and still look great. The tow hitch will also make you the coolest vehicle everywhere from the boat ramp to the campsite.
Inside is Ford's upscale XLT Lariat interior, which features gray cloth on the seats for comfort, and woodgrained trim on the dash to give it a more luxurious feel. There's a fold-down center console so you can decide if you want to carry two friends, or have a more individual level of comfort. Regardless of how many people are inside, this is quite a luxurious experience. Power windows, power locks, and the original AM/FM/cassette stereo are features you don't find on many vintage pickups today. The original factory steering wheel has the buttons for cruise control, and beyond that is a full set of factory gauges, including optional tach. There are provisions for air conditioning, but we really know your favorite breezes will be the ones created when you open the side vent windows and slide the rear glass. It's all part of the vintage truck experience.
The 5.0-liter V8 is under the hood looks quite original, and it's a great choice in the F-150. Averaging around 3,000 miles annually, this pickup has led a pampered life. Low mileage does not mean it missed out on maintenance, and the way this one fires up readily proves it. The fuel-injected motor neatly straddles the line between power and economy, and it's mated to a rugged four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive. Plus, with power steering, front disc brakes, and modern Michelin tires, it's quite a comfortable cruiser. In fact, this F-150 is built for the long haul thanks to the dual fuel tanks.
There is a funny thing that happens with new classics. They are so fresh on your mind that you associate a memory so detailed that you can almost touch or feel it. So when something this affordable and useful can also be a cherished classic too, then you know you've found something special. 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.
