This Lightning is too nice for words to describe. This is a true collectors vehicle.
It was purchased by a collector in NH from a collector in TX. I have a copy of the Texas title and the TX inspection stickers I left on the windshield. (I Like them)
All bone stock. No lowered suspension shackles, no after market cold air air filter, no higher boost lower pulley not even a louder exhaust. All Original virgin truck.
You know all the basics, here are the extras from the factory. Original rubber bottom bed liner, original soft tonneau cover (looks like new) factory applied under coat which was done prior to final assembly of the front and rear fenders - a very rare option for the Lightning.The front bumper has never been drilled at the factory dimpled location sights for the front license plate. When I bought it in the summer of 2012 I had the clear stone guard front end protection film applied and I really like it. I intended to drive it so it was the best solution to protecting the paint from rocks etc and still look great. It can be removed.
There are no door dings, no bumper marks from touching other car bumpers, parking lot fences etc. The wheels are flawless with the original F1 tires and have never been off the truck. No marks on the wheels or lug nuts from wrench etc. Interior is perfect as it should be with 10K miles. My seats remain covered at all times unless parked at a Cruise Night for display. Non smoking environment as well. No food, soda or coffee are ever allowed in my truck! Much to my wife's dismay!
I have taken it on a 600 mile round trip to NJ and the rest of the time it is taken to a Cruise Night or a leisure scenic New England ride. Truck looks, runs and drives perfectly.
I hate to sell it, so here is my short reason for selling.
Two years ago I bought a 2001 Lightning with high mileage. It had the usual mods running about 400 hp. I loved it, but the underneath was rotted. It was obviously used in the New England winters with our salted roads. Too bad as it was otherwise a nice truck. Faced with a choice of extensive rust repairs to a 140K miles truck or replacing it, I chose to replace it. I was not looking for a perfect truck, just one not rusted out with maybe 50-90K miles would have been fine. I found this truck and was in love even though it was a few grand more than i was looking to spend, the newness of it was worth it. I bought it with intentions of doing the usual modifications to bring it up in the 400-420 HP range. I now feel as though the truck is too nice for me to start making modifications to. In addition, it is so nice that I am nervous driving it. So I will sell it and replace it with a higher mileage one with no rust and maybe already fitted with mods. Then I won't feel guilty about altering this perfect virgin and won't be nervous driving a high mileage truck. That being said, I will take your higher mileage Red or maybe white Lightning in trade. Any year second generation model, stock or mods OK. No uncared for trucks in trade.
Clear Mass. title in hand as I paid cash for it. You are welcomed to come here or send someone here to inspect the truck prior to bidding or even after you bought it. If it is not what I say, you can back out of the sale. This truck was always garaged and babied. It is currently stored for the winter in a heated facility with three, yes three fitted covers on it. When warm weather is here I keep it in my yard under cover. If I drive it as soon as I pull in the yard I pull the cover from the back of the truck and put the cover on before I do anything else. A bit anal perhaps, but I paid a lot for a very nice truck. I intend to keep it nice. Not taken out in rain or driven after first snow fall so it is never exposed to salt, not even dry dusty salt.
Payment in cash preferred. Certified bank check drawn on Bank of America or other bank with branch in Massachusetts. Checks must be cashed by me and cleared prior to truck leaving. If shipping, you must make the arrangements. I prefer to have you come here with cash, see it, drive it and pay for it so we are both happy with the deal. 978-632-7005 days.

Ford recalling nearly 5,700 2014 F-150s for power steering issue
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Ford is recalling 5,675 of its 2014 F-150 pickups over an issue with the electric power steering system. There haven't been any injuries or accidents due to the issue.
Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Autoblog that the "electric power-assisted steering and motor position sensor gear were incorrectly installed by a supplier," leading to the recall.
While the recall is larger on the surface, it's important to note that only 260 trucks have been delivered to customers. The remaining pickups are currently en route to dealers. The affected vehicles were manufactured between May 26 and June 19.
Ford opens the doors on its Swedish rally skunkworks
Fri, 19 Sep 2014It's always amazing to see how different kinds of racecars are made. Formula One racers are often constructed in modern architectural marvels that hint at some of the cutting-edge technology going into the racing. Conversely, rallying is all about sliding around on a varied course as fast as possible, but it often leaves a vehicle caked in mud. So it makes some sense Olsbergs MSE, or simply (OMSE) rally car shop in Nynashamn, Sweden, shows technological sophistication in a more down-to-earth setting. It builds Ford Fiesta ST racers for Global Rallycross there, and this new video gives viewers a tour through the work.
Former rally driver Andreas Eriksson runs OMSE. These days instead of racing, he and the company's 46 employees are building Ford racers from scratch. A ton of work goes into constructing each one, and according to Eriksson, it takes 400 hours to complete each body. At times, things are so busy that some of the technicians live in the shop in apartments that are on premises. There's even a restaurant to keep them fed. Sadly the dyno room is empty during this visit, though.
By the time OMSE is done, a rallycross car might resemble a Fiesta ST on the outside, but as you see in the video, it's a completely different beast underneath. Check out the work it takes to build one of them, and scroll down to read more about it in the official release.
New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
