Attention Classic Truck Lovers

If you’re looking for a truck that knows how to take life one mile at a time (because she’s taken 244,216 of them), look no further than this vintage 1995 ninth generation Ford F-150. 

She’s green, clean, and ready to roll, boasting a dependable 4.9L Inline 6-cylinder 300 cubic inch engine that growls proudly while swilling regular gasoline.  

You’ve been looking for an old-school truck that stands out against the sleek styles you see all over the Costco parking lot.  The kind of truck that’s just as likely to get you a nod of respect from a Boomer as from a Millenial.  The kind of truck that gets you a raised eyebrow of appreciation from the cute coed the next gas pump over.  The kind of truck that doesn’t pretend to be fancy.

You want function.  But with a little somethin’ somethin’.

You are in luck.

Here’s the Good, the Bad, and the Pretty with this 1995 F-150…

• She sports a Bench Seat so your cutie can cuddle up beside you while y’all ride down the road.  Here in Alabama, we call it the “Two-Headed Driver Effect”.
• You get Arm-Strong Window Cranks…7 revolutions of the handle to get from window up to window down.  Show it to any elementary or middle-schooler and you’ll have them off their iPad for half an hour just mesmerized by analog technology.
• Lean-over Manual Door Locks where you lean across the bench seat to lock the passenger-side door.  Great for stretching your latissimus dorsi muscles on your left side.  Just be careful if you’ve just eaten a bean-rich lunch or you may have to roll down the window due to unexpected flatulence.  To unlock the right-side door, same move but pull the door handle.
• 8-foot Long Bed with plastic molded Pendaliner ribbed drop-in Over Rail Bed Liner.  18 inches longer than the shortbed version.  Everybody knows longer is better.  That’s what she said.
• New Toyo Open Country H/T outlined white letter tires:  mounted, balanced, and aligned in June 2024.  Weighing in at 235-75-15, they’ll give you another 50,000 miles of grip.
• The Airbag Light blinks now and then, reassuring you that safety’s in the air… sometimes.
• Driver’s Side Seat Belt takes one day off each week from ratcheting back in place without a bit of help…but it’s a different day each week.  Don’t worry, that bad boy locks in place when you hit the brakes.  Jesus won’t have to take the wheel.
• Dual Gas Tanks holding a combined 37 gallons gives you a 518 mile range (that’s 14 miles per gallon if you don’t want to do the long division with your fingers and toes).
• Seating for 6.  Who is Ford kidding here?  You can get three adults on the front bench seat no problem.  But you’d have to hate any grownups you force to get in the back.  They better be limber because their knees will be almost even with their ears to fit.  You get three seat belts back there though.  Rant over…
• Automatic Transmission so you can have your right hand on the knee of the cutie beside you instead of a gear shifter.
• Lockable Truck Bed Tool Box keeps your gear and tools organized.  You get 59 inches wide by 15 inches deep by 13 inches tall worth of storage space for things you don’t want cluttering the cab.  I’ll even throw in a waterproof tarp that fits perfectly over the bed to keep important stuff dry.
• AM/FM After-market Stereo.  No way to fancy this up.  It’s got a USB port but I’ve never been able to pump songs from my phone through it.  You aren’t buying this truck for its phenomenal sound system.  Just remember to unscrew the outside antenna before taking the truck through the car wash.
• And for the true retro enthusiast, this beauty comes with an inside phone mount and outside antenna mount for that old-school vehicle-mounted Nokia car phone (bracket included – just BYOP:  bring your own phone).
• The Triangle Side Window (aka Quarter Glass) lets in a gentle breeze without messing up your ‘do.  Perfect in the spring and fall when you want to smell the fresh air.
• But when it gets hot, you’ve got an Air Conditioner that will have you shivering inside the cab while it’s triple digits outside.  It just whines at you a bit when you put it on full blast.
• Slightly dinged front right bumper because a concrete post jumped in front of the truck when attempting to move around a shopping cart corral.  Think of it like a beauty mark on a voluptuous model.
• Two-wheel Drive powers the rear tires.  No, you don’t get the sexy 4×4 label on the back.  But you’ve got plenty of torque to pull a trailer or a boat.  Plus it’s one less thing to break.
• Cruise Control (the aftermarket kind) lets you set your speed so Smokey doesn’t pull you over.  Then again, this is not the truck that will set new land speed records.
• Just keep an eye on the Headlights – they’re showing a little age, but that’s just wisdom in disguise.  Cataracts happen to the best of us.
• Only 3 owners over 3 decades.  The first was a family friend who bought it new, my Dad was the second, and I’m the third.
• Clean Carfax.  You can see for yourself it’s never been in any wreck or had any big issues.

So is this a fixer-upper?  Negative, Ghost Rider.  She’s geared up for whatever you throw her way.

Here’s all the updates since 2020:

• Paint job (factory match)
• Headliner
• Alternator
• Starter ground repair
• Battery
• Ignition module
• Oil Pan
• Power steering pump
• Front shocks
• Front brake hoses
• Calipers
• Rotors
• Brake pads
• Water pump
• Thermostat
• Radiator flush and coolant replaced
• Gear shift bushings
• A/C vacuum hose
• Manifold pressure sensor

Everything is ready to hop in and go.

Another thought might be:  “244,216 miles scares me”.  

That’s a perfectly natural reaction.

Truth is, this Inline 6 is entirely capable of 500,000 miles with proper maintenance.  And she hasn’t missed a scheduled service her entire life.  

One big question you might have:  “If this truck is so great, why are you selling her?”

My answer:  Family.

You see, we live 3.5 hours away from my parents and 9 hours away from my wife’s parents.  My wife’s got a vehicle that we could jump in and drive to reach either one at a moment’s notice.  I need one we can do the same with.

While I love this truck, I don’t want to drive her hundreds of miles at a time.  She loves driving around town and across a couple of counties.  I won’t gamble on a 550-mile trip to get to an ailing family member.

Add to it that we only have so much parking space.

My loss is your gain.

Other trucks with fewer miles are going for $15,000 to $22,000.  But you won’t have to invest that much.

So how much for this beauty?

You can get all this for only $8,992.00.

Interested?  Just call me (Darren Bayne) at 205-417-1131 or email me at darren@darrenbayne.com.  Ask questions, make an offer, and add your piece of Ford Americana.  Because you know this was the model that surpassed the Volkswagen Beetle for the world’s best selling vehicle.  And you are a winner just like she is.

She’s sitting in Birmingham, Alabama.  And she’s ready to be driven off or shipped anywhere you want once she’s yours.

So if you want a great truck that came off the assembly line when the original ‘Toy Story’ hit theaters, then you need to grab this F-150 that’s done some living, kept her charm, and still has stories to tell.  

This truck’s ready for her next chapter in your life.
