Ford F-250 (1997)
for sale

Price: US $6,000.00

Description:

Offering an extremely well-maintained
1997 Ford F250 Heavy Duty Crew Cab Shortbed 4x4 with a 7.5L (460) Gas Motor -- NO RESERVE!
The odometer reads ~196500 miles…roughly 10000 mi/yr…a bit lower than average. But the truck is in ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION THROUGHOUT!
The engine was replaced
with a REMANUFACTURED motor at 169, 139 miles…only ~27, 365 miles on the engine!
I just had the transmission serviced in May and got a clean bill of health from the mechanic. The driveshaft bearing was replaced at the same time as well.
It has cruise control, lumbar bolsters, cold A/C, Power Windows, Power Locks, sliding rear window, LINEX bedliner, custom cab steps (also LINEX-d) and bed tonneau cover to name a few important features.
The truck has no body rot and only three small blemishes of surface rust or paint bubbles (thanks, crappy body guys; see accompanying photos)! The bed rails/floor are rust-/rot-free. The truck comes from Nebraska originally and I have replaced nearly all components that either failed or needed upgrade. I have fought (and won) all the typical Ford truck rust problems while I’ve owned it and the body reflects that nicely. I’ve kept lots of receipts along the way and can honestly claim that this truck remains a solid 8.5-9.0 on a ten-point scale.
Here’s a short list of what’s been replaced/rebuilt (as memory permits):

Not bad at all…and it drove like a dream (70+ mph nearly the whole way). The truck isn’t 100% and I’m not selling it like it is…it’s a 1997. If you’re looking to buy a great truck with awesome looks that turns heads wherever she drives, then you want to bid on her.
I do not provide any warranty of any kind, expressed or implied. The vehicle is being sold AS IS without a warranty.
It has current RI registration, insurance, and a clear/clean title.
Winning bidder is responsible for picking up/transporting the vehicle. The vehicle is currently located in Warwick, RI.
Remember, it’s a 1997…not a new vehicle. This body style is becoming increasingly RARE and condition is everything…she’s in EXCELLENT shape! Please look at the pictures…I’ve shown both the good and the not-so-good so you can make an informed bid.
Good luck and happy bidding!
