GarageScout Take
Long-term ownership and factory-documented Candyapple Red give this F-350 a traceable identity, with the four-speed and towing-oriented drivetrain still intact. The refinished body, broken driver’s-door hinge pin, disconnected rear fuel tank, and reportedly original clutch weigh against it.
Strengths
- Long-term ownership since 1998, with approximately 12,000 miles added during that period.
- Factory Candyapple Red finish documented by the Elite Marti Report and window sticker; the truck was refinished approximately 15 years ago.
- Elite Marti Report, warranty tag and window sticker copies, owner’s manual, spare parts, and a clean Colorado title accompany the truck.
- Brake and U-joint work was reported approximately 4,000 miles ago.
Watch For
- The truck was refinished approximately 15 years ago.
- The driver’s door hinge pin is broken.
- The rear fuel tank is disconnected.
- The seller believes the clutch has never been replaced.
