*** 2001 Ford SVT Lightning 12,033 Original Miles ***


Read First: I know this truck will have a lot of interest.  I may choose not to answer some emails or questions as I'm only looking for a buyer that has the funds capable of purchasing this nearly flawless example.  Please let me know of your intent or how serious you are.  This is not an "eBay special" nor will it sell for "cheap", although it's less than a new 4-cylinder Toyota Camry I saw at the Toyota Dealer. :-)  If you're hoping to get a lot off my asking price, you won't.  i'm very easy to work with, though, and will help out with anything you need such as storing it for a longer period of time or working with your shipper.

What: I have owned, played with, and collected unique and fun autos my entire life.  This is my 4th SVT Lightning and by far the nicest example I've ever seen.  I purchased my first Lightning back in 2003 and have loved them ever since!  I owned one stock, one lightly modified, and one heavily modified that produced 730 horse power.  This example is completely stock and always has been.  Completely 100% original as it came off the showroom floor in 2001!  Currently at only 12,033 original miles.  You may not ever find one like this again.  Rare chance at a nearly new SVT Lightning.  This should be an amazing future investment (Barrett Jackson?).  My struggle is not driving it, not modifying it, and keeping the miles off.  It has never been raced or at a track.  It should, however, attend a few "car shows".  

This truck has never been driven in the rain or the snow.

This is a third "car" for us in addition to our other toys (PWC, Boat, Jeep...).  We do not need to sell this and I've closed this auction template a few times after deciding not to part with it.  Our plan was to keep it for years and keep the miles low as I know I cannot replace this.  It will only appreciate in value.  I'm not listing this for sale locally as I'd like to avoid tire kickers, and do not plan re-list this again if it doesn't sell during the auction.  

Includes:
Original "Ford Special Vehicle Team" Certificate.  Build #3407.
Original Window Sticker
Original Books/Manuals
Both original keys and key fobs
Original Ford Tonneau Cover (factory option on the Window Sticker)
Original Ford Rubber Bed-Mat
Unused Garage Door Opener/Velcro (shown in picture)
Original Ford Stereo Tape Player with 6-Disc CD Changer (behind seat)

Condition - Exterior: Excellent.  As new.  No dents, no scratches anywhere on the paint.  Original paint, original panels, original VIN tags.  The tires have no dry rot or issues.  Tread depth looks like you'd expect with only 12,033 miles.  I would guess all for around 30% worn with 70% tread left.  I've taken a photo of a minor scratch on the top of the tailgate plastic.  And one photo of a slight scratch on one rim.  That's all I can find anywhere on the exterior.  Otherwise picture a brand new Lightning.  Even the underside of the truck looks new.

Condition - Interior: Excellent.  As new.  Zero issues.  Non smoker, no pets, no food, no smells, no wear on the suede/leather seats.

Engine: Excellent condition.  As new and as you'd expect with only 12,033 original miles.

Shipping: We're in Charlotte North Carolina.  I will help you and your Shipper if you're out of state.  Or feel free to fly in to Charlotte and drive it home.

Payment: A non refundable Paypal deposit of $500 is due IMMEDIATELY after you win the auction.  No exceptions.

Feedback: Note our near perfect, positive feedback for ~11 YEARS on eBay!

Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall
