Grew up with Ford trucks on the farm, 80's F650/750 grain trucks, '72 F250 Camper Special, standard '84 F250 4x4, '84 F150, Ford van - yep the big one 1979, even an '86 Bronco II (not sure why dad did that). My first car was an '84 Celica and still a big Toy/Lex fan. Have had several 80 series LC, LX470, current '09 LX570. Have had several Fox Bodies as well.
Story is I had a LX470 and wife's LX570 which we do all of our off-roading in. So no need for my 296k miles 470. Wanted either a '13-'14 GT500 or a truck (but not a normal truck!!).
I wanted blue and had to be 13-14 and under 120k. Not much to pick from. Had eyes on a couple in Missouri. Browsing CL nationally and ran across my unicorn. Blue, supercharged, 97k, ORIGINAL OWNER. He said it went right from Ford to Roush for Stage 2 pkg. Unbelievable condition. Could not pass it up. Wife and I flew to MN and drove back 26 hrs straight through. Best drive ever. Have had it since December.
Day we picked it up.
Back in AZ
Just added BAK Revolver X4S cover and Toyo Open Country RT Trail tires.
