I don’t know about you, but I can just feel the cold when I look at that backdrop of a snowy, wintery Idaho farm field. I’m guessing this Ford F250 was quickly whisked back into its garage where it’s probably spent most of the past 35 years, because this 1987 Ford F250 Lariat XLT 4×4 is in remarkable condition for a pickup. The story and history behind this Ford isn’t shared, but the seller claims the F250 has “excellent ownership history including a service book and original owner documentation.” It’s obviously led a pampered life. Located in Caldwell, Idaho, this fully-loaded Ford is for sale here on eBay. As of this writing, it had generated 18 bids with the highest bid topping out at $9,000.

1987 marked the first year of the eighth generation of the Ford F-Series. Styling was more streamlined with a more aerodynamic front end and new composite headlamps, plus it was the first pickup to offer rear antilock brakes. And for the first time, all Ford models were produced with straight-sided Styleside beds. The overall condition of this 35-year-old SuperCab pickup is impressive. Its wearing its original “Deluxe Tu-tone” brown and tan paint that appears to be in very good condition. Based on the photos, I’m not spotting any dents or rust or issues that raise a brown and tan flag, although there are no photos of the pickup’s bed. Based on the photos, the chrome bumpers, trim, glass, original hubcaps and everything else rounding out the exterior looks very good as well.

I hope the next owner likes tan and brown, because the color theme continues into the pickup’s impressive cabin which Ford completely redesigned in 1987. It’s not perfect, but it’s well above average. This Lariat XLT is loaded with creature comforts including air conditioning, power windows, power steering, power brakes, power locks, cruise control, a leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel, and still has its original radio. We’re assuming they’re all in good working order. The front bench seat looks comfortable with no visible flaws and the back vinyl “seating area,” which can fold down to be a storage shelf, looks like new. The carpet, dash, headliner and other details shown in the photos also look terrific.

There’s only one photo of the F250’s power plant, the original 460-cubic inch V8 that generated 225 horsepower that’s paired with a 4-speed floor shift manual transmission. The seller claims the 84,900 miles showing on the odometer are original and that the Lariat XLT has “4 wheel drive with locking hubs, manual shift 2WD 4 Hi and 4 Low options.” Yessir, I’d like to know the story behind this well-preserved pickup. It looks about as nice as a 35-year-old pickup can be.
