Double Cab, 7. 3-litre V8 diesel, and ‘lavish’ XLT Lariat spec
Finished nicely in Service Vehicle livery
Immense presence!
Dating from January 1989, this F350 is in the more ‘lavish’ XLT Lariat specification which includes plush Burgundy cloth upholstery, leather wrapped steering wheel, carpeting, tinted windows, Sports wheel trims and a chrome grill over the standard specification which also includes radio, electric windows, swing fold mirrors, air con, cold start light etc. Powered by a highly capable 7. 3 litre IDI (indirect fuel injection) International Navistar naturally aspirated diesel V8 engine delivering 180bhp which provides considerable towing ability. Featuring leaf spring rear suspension and rear wheel drive, the truck boasts a rear tow hitch and useful load liner. With immense presence (coming in at 6. 4metres long!), the Double Cab boasts seating for six with its twin bench seats.
Purchased by the vendor in 2015, from 8-Mile Detroit, Michigan State, after purchase, the vendor toured across the United States including driving Alaska’s Dalton Highway which crosses some of the Arctic Circle and Top of the World Highway from Chicken, Alaska to Dawson City, Yukon (stickers in the history file) in the truck. The vendor informs that the Ford was repaired and replaced as required en route throughout that road trip, and the F350 was used as a backup vehicle for a Nick Sanders/ Yamaha motorcycle tour before shipment to Southampton from Miami. Approximately $8, 000 was lavished on the Pickup over the two year road trip period with improvements including new brakes all round, wheel bearings, suspension bushes, steering arm, prop shaft, radiator, alternator, starter motor, batteries, wiper motor, tyres, exhaust, and heater plugs.
Supplied with a body-off exterior refresh with the chassis sandblasted and painted and the body refurbed and wax oiled. Sold out of the vendor’s ownership in 2021, he missed the F350 and purchased it back at the end of last year. Now on sale due to another (uprated) F350 having been purchased, the history file includes the V5C document DVLA registration documentation, MOT certificate until October 2024, and shipping docs. The truck represents an unusual opportunity and looks enticing value at the appealing estimate. Be (very) different?
