No Reserve: 1985 Ford F-250 XLT Lariat 4×4 4-Speed

This 1985 Ford F-250 pickup was delivered new to Dee Thompson Ford of Gladstone, Oregon, and spent time in Washington State and Wyoming before it was returned to Washington in 2010. Refinished in black and silver over a reupholstered red cloth interior, the truck is powered by a 460ci V8 mated to a four-speed manual transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and a limited-slip differential. Additional features include the XLT Lariat and Explorer D packages as well as 16″ American Racing wheels, KYB shocks, power steering, power windows, a sliding rear window, and a Sony CD stereo. This F-250 was recently acquired by the selling dealer and is now offered at no reserve in Oregon with a Deluxe Marti report, manufacturer’s literature, a paint sample sheet, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Washington State title.
