OF ALL THE FORD GUYS I HAVE KNOWN, AND ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE, NO ONE CAN REALLY VERIFY THAT A 63 F250 UNIBODY BOX TRUCK WAS AVAILABLE; OTHER THAN SPECIAL ORDER BY FOREST SERVICE, STATE OR FEDERAL HIGHWAY DEPT., OR D.O.D. POSSIBLY THESE TRUCKS WERE SOLD IN LATIN AMERICA...AS ONE FORD ENTHUSIAST TOLD ME. THIS 63 4X4 WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO A COLLECTION, OR A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT THAT YOU CAN ENJOY ON WEEKENDS, VACATION PROPERTY, RANCH, OR JUST CRUISING THE BACK ROADS.
TRUCK HAS CLEAR MN TITLE WITH COLLECTOR LICENSE PLATES THAT I AM TO RETAIN.IT IS SOLD AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTY IMPLIED OR CONSENTED. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY. PLEASE CALL 612-961-9850 WITH ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE DESCRIBED THE TRUCK TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, BUT STRONLY RECOMMEND SEEING THE TRUCK IN PERSON IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.
REMEMBER YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 56 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT WAS BUILT FOR A BY-GONE ERA OF DRIVING. THAT BEING SAID, I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY THIS RIG RUNS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE, PROVIDED YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO GET THERE. I HAVE INVESTED A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY TO GET THIS SOLID SURVIVOR BACK ON THE ROAD. IT IS NOT PERFECT, BUT IT IS A GREAT START FOR A TOTAL RESTORATION PROJECT, OR LIKE MYSELF, ENJOY IT AS IT IS.I CAN ASSIST WITH SHIPPING IF NECESSARY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST612-961-9850
