Last year my buddy found an 88 7.3 ZF 5-speed F-250 4x4 with A/C for a whopping $4,000! It still had the plastic on the seat and the day the old man bought it he took the center caps off so they're mint!

and i got a 50 buck bill,,says that dealer traded it in,,and paid near zero for it...........................one auctioneer,,pulled the same stunt, not far from here,,traded a old lady,,out of a 55 chev,,for 50 bucks.......said it was a old car her hus had in a shed,,and tree grew up in front of shed..before he bought it,,he pulled the door enough,,to look in the shed...........turns out,,was a fuel injected,two door ht....last i heard,,the kids were suing the auctioneer,,who was a known shyster,,to get the proper money from him for it...oh,,,,and it was in mint shape..............

Wow and I thought the '85 I found for my friend was clean...that's freakin spotless!

Similar to the '83 F-250 I just sold. Mine had 45,000 original miles. The engine is supposed to be gray (I had an '81, '83, and '86 300). Someone has messed with that.

I saw some grease pencil in one shot, so maybe it has been messed with, but still....If I had 9 grand, I'd be making a trip to get that thing...

That's not in original "barn find" condition. It's a restoration. A great restoration, but that guy didn't pull it out of a barn and just give it a wash and wax.

TOO amazing in my book. Makes me question it. Still holy crap that is a clean tuck.

Heath beat me to it, they used the wrong color paint is some areas, and the wrong undercoating. Plus they just put the undercoating over the rust.

 

[eastsideauto]

Yep. Definitely saw where he painted over some surface rust spots on the cab corners and fenders. Good resto but not barn find perfect. Definitely not worth the $10000 the auction is up to.

Nicee....nothing over the top....Nice...

nice truck shows that ole fords have some value.

I know it's jsut our natural tendency to pick stuff apart, but I don't see any signs of painting over rust. Sure they painted the undercoating. When I bought my truck, it had the same treatment. It lasted 5 years.

I think engine color changed with the plant the truck was built in? I remember seeing different colored engines on Candian build rigs, than the ones built in Kansas.
