1995 SVT F-150 Lightning
The SVT F-150 Lightning’s 351 Windsor V-8, equipped with GT-40 cylinder heads and tubular intake manifold, proved the inspiration behind the 1995 Cobra R powerplant. For 1995, Lighting was again offered in three paint colors and with an SVT-unique interior, featuring a custom embroidered 40-20-40 seat with a large, flip-up console to accommodate third-seat capability. Mechanically unchanged with its 4.10:1 rear axle ratio, big brakes and 17 x 8-inch Firestone Firehawk tires, the 1995 Lightning helped position Ford as a performance truck leader. The enthusiast following created by the first-gen 1993-95 Lightnings also ensured that SVT would investigate future performance truck offerings.

This beautiful truck has been garage kept since I purchased it from the 2nd owner. There are no defects at all, that I can tell. The trucks drives great, without any shakes, hiccups or problems. The only modifications to this truck are the rear hard bed cover and the exhaust system. The noise from the exhaust is perfect for this truck, not too loud, not too soft. Runs great, starts every time. 24k original miles!!!
