Ford F-150 5.0 Liter V8 1989

General description : 67K ACTUAL MILES, SOUTHERN TRUCK, 302 V8, AOD, COLD AC, GOOD OPTIONS, CLEAN 4X4

This 1989 Ford F150 Lariat 4x4 pickup has passed beyond the realm of "nice work truck" and is steadily on course to become a great collectable. Featuring a ton of options and a great color combination, it's only a matter of time before these "bricks" start bringing big bucks. Here's your chance to own a rare low-mileage one now.
The black paint job on this F150 should look familiar if you were a car guy in the '80s, but it's also one of the more timeless looks that came out during that period. Accented by a just enough chrome trim to look upscale, the shiny black finish gives the half-ton a sporty look that's kind of an homage to the great pickups of the past. The paint is not very old and has been well-maintained, with a distinct lack of bumps and bruises, suggesting that this truck has never worked hard in its life and has lived an easy life in the sun. It isn't perfect but it certainly looks right, and you'll be proud to roll around town in a truck that looks this good. The Lariat trim package added brightwork (and a lot of it) to the truck, and all of it remains in very good to excellent condition, from the wheel well moldings to the big chrome bumpers to the brushed stainless steel tailgate insert. And speaking of tailgates, you'll notice that the bed is protected by a heavy duty spray-in bedliner so it's still up to a few working weekends along the way.
Inside is Ford's upscale XLT Lariat interior, which features red cloth upholstery and woodgrained trim on the dash to give it a more luxurious feel. It's 100% original, and even the bench seat shows only modest wear, although the sun can be hard on fabrics. There's a pair of rubber floor mats protecting the original carpets so they're still in good shape showing only modest wear and age, and the door panels remain quite good as well. And no, that's not the carpet pulling away from the lower edges, it's a handy map pocket. With all the heavy-duty equipment on this truck, it was obviously outfitted to do some towing, so there's a complete array of gauges in the dash, plus cold factory A/C, cruise control, a tilt steering column, power windows and locks, and a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission. There's also a sliding rear window for easy ventilation when A/C isn't needed. Even the original AM/FM/cassette stereo system remains in place and sounds great today.
Ford's venerable 5.0 liter V8 is under the hood (that's a 302 to some of you out there), and it's a great choice in the F150. It neatly straddles the line between power and economy, and makes great bucket-loads of torque while it goes about its business. Even Ford's trucks were fuel injected early on, and the long-runner intake manifold on this one was designed to make low-end torque, which is, of course, a truck's bread-and-butter. Showing only 67,312 original miles, it's quite stock under the hood, with signs of regular maintenance and more proof that this truck lived in a warm climate, and the engine runs beautifully. It also features heavy duty coolers for all the fluids, a massive radiator, and the aforementioned automatic gearbox (recently rebuilt) to make the most of its output. A custom Flowmaster 2-1-2 exhaust system uses a new muffler to keep the 5.0 sounding suitably muscular and for a 4x4 it's shockingly clean underneath and still sits at the stock ride height. Newer 31x10.50-15 Goodyear radials are fitted to the original wheels, which also feature a sporty red pinstripe.
Documented with the original manuals, this low-mileage truck is just waiting patiently for its opportunity to join your collection. These bricks are starting to skyrocket in popularity, now is your chance to snag a beautiful low-mileage example of one, before they get out of reach. Give us a call today!

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
