About this 2003 Ford Lightning

VIN: 2FTRF073X3CA72147

VERY RARE COLLECTABLE SVT LIGHTNING IN SONIC BLUE!

1 Of Only 723 Sonic Blue 2003 SVT Lightnings Made In The World. With ONLY 18,000 Miles, Showroom New And Only One Adult Owner.

Only 18,000 Miles, Only 1 Adult Owner Since New. Perfect AutoCheck and Carfax. The AutoCheck shows 2 owners, but that is a mistake, I have been the only owner and I can prove it with the original paperwork from 2004! Supercharged From The Factory With Every Option Available. Starts, runs and drives like it did when I brought it home from the dealer with Ice cold air conditioning, it's almost too cold on max A/C.

This truck was purchased brand new from the dealer by me and I have owned it ever since. I have all the original documentation from day one including the original window sticker and SVTOA welcome kit that comes with all SVT vehicles when bought new (Please see pictures). You will not find another SVT Lightning anywhere this nice or that includes this welcome kit since most people threw them away or lost them, mine is in the original wrapping from SVTOA with everything included.

This has been garage kept since day one and only driven in the summer so it has never seen any adverse weather and only a hand full of times it has been in the rain. Custom fitted satin stretch indoor car cover as seen in picture. It has been in many car shows and cruises and always wins first place in its class, this truck always turns heads and is always a conversation piece.

Most of these trucks have been trashed and HEAVILY modified, NOT this one! Most have been modified and the interiors are usually a disaster with after market gauges. This truck has never been raced or at the track like most of these have been. It has been babied all of its life and is in pristine collectable condition. Completely stock except for Bassani Cat Back exhaust, BBK Cold Air Induction system to make it breathe better.

I have the original exhaust in a box in the bed of the truck and the original air intake is in a box and can be put back to completely stock very easily. Please see pictures of the engine which includes pictures of the engine both ways with the stock air intake and the BBK cold air induction. It looks great either way.

The supercharged sticker on the doors and the SVT sticker on the front bumper really make this truck stand out from the rest and I get compliments all of the time. But they can be taken off with no problem if the buyer doesn't like them. I have pictures with the truck both ways, but I think the stickers make the truck pop and look even better, if that is possible! I always get compliments with these additions.

There were only three options with the SVT Lightnings in 2003 and this has all of them, including package 520A.

1. Factory installed FORD bedliner and dealer installed tonneau cover.
2. 6 disk in dash CD player.
3. Tow package with trailer hitch and all of the wiring still in the plastic. It has never been used, I have never towed anything with this truck.

This truck is so clean and new it still has all of the factory markings including the lithium grease on the door hinges and all of the engine stickers are still visible and in tact. It even has the manufacture sticker with the date of build on the inside of the hood from the factory (see picture), try finding another Lightning with that still in tact, you wont!

Miscellaneous:

Perfect AutoCheck with the highest score that they give. The AutoCheck shows 2 owners, but that is a mistake I have been the only owner and I can prove it with the original paperwork!

Stock Factory Installed Eaton Supercharger "Not aftermarket"

New K&N filter is in the original air box

Tires have 95% tread left with only 3,000 miles on Nitto 555 tires

New Ford Motorcraft battery

Blows ice cold air

Keyless Entry

2 keys with door unlock, lock and panic mode fobs, Viper remote start key fob also included

Paint still looks and shines like new because it is since it has never sat outside the garage ever!

I have well over 100 pictures available, video upon request.

You will not find many of these trucks for sale and they are very limited since they only made 4,270 total in all colors and ONLY 723 in Sonic Blue for the world, this is your chance to get a very collectable, super rare one of a kind truck that is like new and will keep growing in value forever!.

You will see a few 1999-2002 on the market for $50,000- $70,000, but there are a lot of differences between 1999-2002 verses the 2003 model. There are too many differences for me too list here, you can look up the details.

The 2003 year is the most desirable and collectible year and is much more valuable. Moreover, you will never lose money with this investment, it will keep growing in value forever!
