Was just curious how much one might ask for a 1995 F-150 with 180K miles. Engine burns no oil, tranny good. lots of part replaced in last 4 years, but body has rusted to the point of 'unsafe'. Spring support rusted through and other ready to go, gas tank rusting & weeping. I hate to let her go because she's been so dependable (to this point!) but need something reliable. SO - was is reasonable to expect to sell her for? My son and friends named her 'Betty White' because she's old, has an attitude, but still ran great!

Can you tell I'm in mourning here???

 

I'd say a few hundred dollars at best. Odds are whoever buys it would be interested in the drivetrain and would scrap the rest. You'll have to decide if you want to try to sell it as is, part and scrap yourself, or scrap the entire thing.

 

Drive-in scrap value should bring $500 or so. You can try parting it out but don't expect much there. As a point of information, the guy I bought my running 4.9 engine from tried to sell it for months with no success. I eventually got it for $100 since that was $25 more than what the scrap dealer was willing to give him.

 

Thanks for the replies. Put it on Craigslist for now. Silly me started it at $750 (I like to dream!) The engine is the 5.0L, don't know if they are more 'valuable'? I do have an engine oil analysis from 3 years ago showing no problems at all and I drove like an 'old farmer' :-)

 

Be an organ donor for me please! Does it have the E4OD trans? I badly need to convert my '92 with a 5.0/E4OD to Mass-air, would need the Computer harness, MAF and computer. It just doesn't run right since doing a few mods, and I am coming up DRY at all the junkyards!! PM me if you will, I'll pay $$$

 

SO - you can tell I'm a 'newbie' on here - don't know how to PM and couldn't find instructions on Google! Yes, it does have that trans.

 

What are the state of the interior parts? I'm looking for the black dash panel around the gauges and air vents.

Also, what color are your door panels?

Get an error msg - I don't have permission to PM anyone. Doesn't say why.

 

Ah, you must be too new or have PM's disabled

 

Sorry - had to contact my mechanic to ask about tranny and he did a 'quick reply' and then checked. It's not the one you need. It's the 4R7W

Is it not fixable?

 

You may have it turned off in the control panel (left side of the blue bar at the top of the page). They changed things a few weeks ago, it used to be you had to have 25 posts, now it's 5 posts and ten days a member....

Would cost over $1K (and that's in rural SD where's it's cheap labor) to put new spring supports under the front (if the body isn't rusted to the point they couldn't do it) and one of the fuel tanks is starting to rust through. There's just getting to be too much wrong, physically, to justify putting the money in.
