Rembrant Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Came across this '82 while looking at some other stuff. https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/cto/d/homestead-classic-1982-ford-150/7059553143.html Looks like it may have been an XLS model, or it has had XLS parts and features added to it?

1986F150Six Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Ummm… love that XLS dash trim and horn bar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Ummm… love that XLS dash trim and horn bar! Me too David! If this truck is a real XLS, it would be worth returning to it's original state in my opinion. They are just so rare these days. I guess the only way to know for sure would be with a Marti report? I'm not sure if that would say if it was a real XLS or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if that would say if it was a real XLS or not. The proof would be in the Marti report... but I am going to say 99.9% likelihood that it is an original XLS. He says the front grille has been changed (obviously) but the truck still has the black front and rear bumpers, black door handles and black windshield trim. Everyone loves the silver dash trim, but the door handles and windshield trim would be an odd and unlikely thing to swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That zero rust claim would make it a real nice candidate for somebody wanting to restore a real XLS model. Doesn’t look like it’s heavily modified or anything. Sure would look nice in red with the black and silver XLS stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrant Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Add it to you stable? Haha...well, right now my stable only has one stall... If I could get away with it, I'd have a whole yard full of Bullnoses...and probably a few Flaresides;). I'd paint and decal it like the red XLS in the 1982 Brochure... The fact that it would be an actual XLS model wouldn't mean much to most people, but it would to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrant Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Follow your dream! I'm a good dreamer David! I just noticed that the insides of the doors are silver...so this thing probably wasn't red anyway... Maybe it was this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
