Description

A One of a kind - If you are a Ford Powerstroke enthusiast then this just may be the truck of your dreams.  Up for sale is a truly exceptional 1-Owner 1997 Ford F350 XLT Crew Cab 4x4 with the coveted 7.3L Powerstroke diesel, Heavy-duty 4-speed automatic transmission with over-drive, and ONLY 55k miles!  Yes, you read that right, this incredible F350 has just 55k miles.  It was originally purchased brand new right here in Pueblo, Colorado where it has spent its entire life.  It is nearly perfect in every way, has a squeaky clean CarFax and is perhaps the nicest 1997 Ford Powerstroke up for sale anywhere. Period.

We have provided nearly 100 photos of this amazing truck so you can see for yourself just how nice it is.  Not only is it sharp looking, it starts, runs, and drives perfectly.  The 7.3L Powerstroke runs like you would expect one with just 55k miles to run - Perfectly.  The same can be said for the heavy duty 4-speed automatic transmission and the four-wheel drive system.  This 1997 Ford F350 really may be the nicest 1997 Ford F350 anywhere.  But don't take our word for it, take a look at the pictures.  Come take it for a drive.  Give us a call and let us give you a detailed walk-around description and then decide for yourself.

This particular 1997 Ford F350 is a 1-owner truck.  The original owner (who has passed away - that is why this beautiful truck is up for sale) purchased the truck brand new and registered it in their company's name.  When they closed that company in 2002 they kept the truck and changed the registration over to their personal name.  This truck has been owned by the same person since it was brand new.  The Carfax supports this and that helps explain why this 1997 Ford is as close to perfect as any 1997 truck anywhere.

Nicely equipped with the XLT package this Ford F-350 Crew Cab has a premium cloth interior with 40/20/40 front seats with power lumbar supports and fold-down center console.  It also has a factory AM/FM/Cass stereo, Cruise control, Air conditioning, Power windows and locks, Rear sliding window, Manual folding camper mirrors, Dual fuel tanks, a tow package, and more!

Inside and out this Ford F350 1-ton Powerstroke is remarkable.  We can't say it is flawless or new because it is a 1997 - but rest assured it is as close to flawless as any 1997 pickup we have ever seen.  There are no rips, stains, or odors anywhere in the cloth interior.  All of the power options function perfectly.  The seats are comfortable with no abnormal wear and no soft spots in the support foam.

The exterior is also exceptional.  We have had it polished and the paint shines like new.  There is no evidence of paint work anywhere on the body and the CarFax is clean as a whistle with no accidents or damage reported.  Take a look at the photos and you will see that even the under-side of this truck is exceptional.  There is absolutely no rust anywhere on this truck thanks to the fact that it has spent its entire life here in sunny Colorado - and they don't use salt on the roads here!!  Part of the reason we feel this truck has not been painted is because there are some very tiny (smaller than the tip of a pencil) rock chips in the paint as well as one scratch that has been color touched.  These very minor imperfections are not visible from any distance and do not detract from this exceptional truck in any way.  We have included far-away (about 5 feet) and close up pictures of the color-touched scratch and the small area on the bed of the truck that has chips in the paint so you can see for yourself how small these are.

All in all this 1997 Ford F350 is as close to perfect as we have ever seen in a 1997 pickup.  From the way it looks to the way it starts, runs, rides, and drives, this 1997 Ford F350 is awesome.

This exceptional 1997 Ford F-350 Crew Cab 4x4 needs nothing except a new home.  Take a look at the photos.  Come take it for a drive.  Give us a call and we will be your eyes and ears.  See for yourself that this truck is as nice as we say it is.

This 1997 Ford F350 XLT Crew Cab 4WD Diesel Has Had A Full Service And Safety Inspection and is READY TO DRIVE.

This vehicle is for sale locally.  We reserve the right to end the auction early if the vehicle sells locally.

This truck has a very reasonable reserve price so please do not bid if you are not going to buy.  Winning bidders who do not follow through will receive negative feedback and be reported to eBay.

Payment in full must be made within 7 days of the auction ending.  Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the deposit and the truck will be put back up for sale.  Final payment can be made via Wire-transfer, Cashiers/Certified check, or in person.  We will not accept PayPal for final payment because the transaction fees are too high and we will not accept credit/debit cards or personal checks.  The winning bidder can pick-up the vehicle in person at our location during normal business hours.  Payment in full must be made and the funds verified before the vehicle can be taken away.

Shipping:

The truck can be picked up at our location anytime during normal business hours.  If you would like the truck shipped we will work with the successful bidder to arrange shipping as follows:  We can solicit bids for shipping and the successful bidder can chose whoever they want from those bids.  The successful bidder can solicit their own bids and we will work with the shipper of their choice.  Shipping is FOB Shipping point.  In other words all shipping costs will be paid by the successful bidder, the truck must be picked up at our location during normal business hours, and once the shipping company begins the process of picking up the truck and shipping it title passes to the winning bidder.

Warranty:

The vehicle is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty express or implied.  We have several inexpensive and extensive extended warranty options available that can be purchased to offer peace of mind.  The one we recommend most often for diesel trucks is the Elite Standard Plus warranty - it is a 5-year or additional 100k mile powertrain warranty that covers the engine, transmission, turbo, injectors, and several other items.  Details on this warranty can be found here:  http://elitewarrantyinc.com/home/standard  Be sure to look at the items included in the Standard and Standard Plus - they are both included in the Standard Plus.

The cost to add the Elite Standard Plus warranty to the 1997 Ford F350 is $1689.00
