I (Brian) have a very nice 95 C-150 4WD. Miles are around 90K. I loved it so much, but wanted to buy try a diesel. I ended up making an impulse decision and bought an Excursion diesel. It has a rougher ride and I miss the electric back window. My Centurion even has the spare underneath, miss that too.
I now have 6 cars and my wife is ready to kill me. I have 5 garage bays, so at least 1 has to be outside. This truck spent most of its life in the Carolinas. I flew to Kansas to buy it right after the last owner moved. I have used it, but have treated it like a collector car. Driving it to FL tomorrow would be nothing for it, and you could expect to get around 14.5mpg at 75mph. With today's fuel prices, I would hate to have a 460. And if you actually plan to use the 3rd seat like I do, they say a C-350 rear springs are way to stiff. Just food for thought.
The only thing my needs is some attention to the drivers seat. The leather seem let loose. I have an appointment to bring it in this week to get taken care of. Other than that, brakes, tires, front end bushings, shocks, battery, etc are all fresh and top quality. No dents, no rust, no problems. And believe it or not, the rear heat and air work better than my Excursion too.
If you have any interest, I will pull together some photos and get them to you. I took a few a couple of weeks ago, but have not even had time to put a for sale sign in it. Send me your email address and I will send them right to you without disturbing the rest of the group.
Price wise, I am asking $10,000. The simpler the deal, the more flexible I will be in price. Color = Blueish Green with Tan Leather interior and tan trim
