Found something interesting on Carforsale, and aptly named website. The 9th generation F-150 wasn’t stellar, but the SVT Lightning was still pretty cool. Not as good looking as the first Lightning but more powerful with a Supercharged 5.4l. And of coarse we all remember it as Brian’s part running truck in The Fast and the Furious.
I’m not sure though if they’ve reached collector status. But some one has been waiting for them to. As made evident by the fact that this one got stashed away. This one has only 15 miles.
According to the odometer, not even 15 miles, 14.5!
It even has what appears to be the factory transport seat protectors.
Also side pipes!
So would you drop 25 grand on a brand new, 15 year old, Supercharged 4x2 pickup? Honestly I think I would. Even I feel it does make less power than a new 5.0l.
And yeah I’d get the “The Racer’s Edge” decals on it.

I love Ford, and Lightnings can be a hoot to drive, but $25K is too much, unless it’s an autographed and certified movie car and I already have a buyer lined up to buy it for at least $30K.
For $25K I can get any number of used and newer F-150s - including Harley-Davidson Editions, some which were essentially multi-row Lightnings anyway - with V8s (and even EcoBoost V6s), and do choice upgrades to make it more performance-oriented, if desired. Plus they don’t have degraded rubber parts that need replacing, and questionable status of fluids and other items that still wear out after just sitting.

A nice bone stock 1st gen with <30k miles can go for that much, so it’s not that crazy of a price.
They are much faster than the 93-95, but the build quality of that gen F150 may be some of the worst from Ford. The drivetrain is more reliable than the 10th gen, but everything else crap.

Yeah, Ford was not on their A game in the late 90s.
