Hello from MN

I'm Joe, a lifelong Ford enthusiast, and mechanic, owning many Ford vehicles over my life since a '69 Mustang back in 1980.
Mustangs, Merkurs (both), Torinos, Escapes, an Explorer, and an Edge.
What brings me here is a low-mileage 1999 Ford F350 Lariat with a 7.3L PowerStroke engine.
It belongs to my father-in-law, and he's wheelchair-bound and can no longer drive it, or actively sell it. It was his farm truck.
I was hoping to sell it here to give it a good home, but it appears that the classified rules don't allow it if it doesn't belong to me.
Wondering if anyone has an ideas where a guy can sell a truck that still has a lot of life left in it?
Thanks everyone.

Hi Charlie, thanks for the advice. I figured it was fairly rare and wish I could keep it for myself.
We'll see what happens!

If only there was some way to keep those vehicles we loved over our lives! Had a couple of Torinos, nothing rare like a CJ, but enjoyed them.
69, 70 (Mach 1), 05 (GT) Mustangs, even a '99 Cougar V6 with a manual that was fun for a while.
Only a few non-Fords in my past, including two Audi Quattros with 5-speeds that were good for the MN snow.

Disappointing that after almost a month, no interest in this truck.

Wow!

Maybe the price is too high?

Do you note in the ads where the rust is bad? I know unstated rust drives people away.

I tried to show the rust in the photos. With the low mileage I thought it would garner more interest.
It runs great and the engine doesn't leak a drop.
I've lowered the price steadily, to $9,000 currently.

Not one serious offer after lowering the price $1k/ week.
I guess the condition is too bad for the value of the drivetrain.
Thanks for the opportunity to share it here.

Take care guys!
