This 1983 F-150 XLT is a well-kept example of Ford’s most popular pickup, finished in two-tone Candyapple Red and Dark Red Metallic over a red vinyl interior. It is powered by the 5.8-liter Windsor V8 backed by a three-speed automatic, sending power to the rear wheels. It shows roughly 83,000 miles and was kept by a single long-term original owner.

Notes
Offered as an honest, well-preserved driver. The left side of the bench-seat bottom is torn, the headliner is sagging, and the door panels show wear. The body carries some dings and minor blemishes consistent with its age and use. It is nicely equipped for the era with cruise control, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and dual fuel tanks. Everything is shown up close in the photos.
