1985 Ford F150 XL on CL in TN. One owner original

Rembrant
I know this old girl is a plain old thing, but it gets a nod for being a one-owner all original truck. It looks to be in pretty decent condition for it's age too.

I know I'm a bit of an outlier in being a fan of the solid color plain trucks, but these were really common around my area back in the day. I know most people wouldn't pay $5000 for it either, but if a guy wanted a classic truck...this thing looks like you could just throw a nice set of wheels and tires on it and hit the road.

...I'm also a bit of a sucker for blue paint...

It is a nice truck.  But I think it is slightly overpriced.  Not that you could recreate it for that, as you couldn't.  But you should be able to get it for a bit less.

However, it does look clean and straight.

one owner claiming all that original interior nonsense.  Looks like a lariat seat to me, door panels are aftermarket, as is the plastic warping dash cover.  Looks like a typical used up truck to me.  Certainly nothing special.
