2001 Ford F350

2001 Ford F-350 Lariat SuperCab 13,713 Original Miles One Owner 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel. Every once in a while, we find a truck that makes you wonder how it survived more than two decades in this kind of condition. This exceptional 2001 Ford F-350 Lariat has just 13,713 original miles and has had only one owner from new. It comes with a perfect, accident-free Carfax showing an impressive 22 service records, providing outstanding documentation for its remarkably low mileage and history. We purchased this F-350 from the estate of its original owner in New York, where it had spent its entire life. Finished in beautiful Toreador Red Metallic with the factory two-tone lower treatment over a Medium Parchment Lariat leather interior, the condition of this truck is exceptional. And perhaps the most impressive part is what we havent done to it. This truck has not been professionally detailed or paint-corrected. We washed it, rinsed it, dried it with a blower and finished the remaining water with a microfiber towel. Thats it. No buffing, no polishing and no attempt to cosmetically manufacture the condition you see in the photographs. The extraordinary gloss, straight body, beautiful chrome and remarkably preserved trim are simply the condition in which this truck has survived. The interior is equally impressive. The Medium Parchment leather seating, drivers bolster, steering wheel, carpeting, dashboard, door panels, controls and factory audio system display the kind of preservation that is extremely difficult to duplicate today. With only 13,713 miles, it still looks and feels like the lightly used truck that it is. Under the hood is arguably the most desirable engine Ford offered in this generation of Super Duty: the legendary 7.3-liter Power Stroke turbo diesel, backed by the automatic transmission. The original window sticker shows the Power Stroke alone was a $4,720 option when new. This truck was well equipped from the factory with the Lariat trim, camper package, trailer-towing mirrors, roof clearance lights and other towing-oriented equipment. The truck was clearly ordered with towing in mind and retains its fifth-wheel hitch along with the original Reese documentation. It also retains a remarkable collection of original books, manuals, literature, keys and paperwork. The underside tells another important part of this trucks story. According to the original owners history, he was diligent about having the truck oil-sprayed for corrosion protection on a regular basis. The application wasnt intended to win a beauty contestit was intended to protect the truck, and more than two decades later the results speak for themselves. The chassis, floor structure and even areas notoriously prone to corrosion on these trucks have been exceptionally well preserved. We have deliberately left the protective treatment and natural appearance underneath intact rather than attempting to strip, paint or cosmetically refinish it. The engine compartment is similarly honest. It has not been dressed or cosmetically restored for photographs. What you see is the natural appearance of an exceptionally low-mile, carefully preserved 7.3 Power Stroke after 25 years. Even the period Radio Shack CB radio remains mounted beneath the dasha great little reminder of exactly what this truck was originally purchased to do. This isnt a restored truck. It isnt a 150,000-mile Super Duty that has been repainted, reupholstered and detailed to resemble a low-mile example. It is a one-owner 13,713-original-mile 7.3 Power Stroke F-350 that has simply been extraordinarily well preserved since 2001. Early 7.3-liter Super Duty trucks have earned a tremendous following for their durability, simplicity and reputation, but most examples remaining today have accumulated hundreds of thousands of miles and decades of hard use. Finding one with 13,713 original miles is difficult enough. Finding one with one-owner history, its original window sticker and documentation, this level of preservation, and an interior and body that still present this beautifully is something altogether different. For the collector who wants an exceptional early Super Dutyor the Ford truck enthusiast who has been waiting for the right 7.3 Power Strokethis is the one you wait for.
