Number T136 on Thursday was a 34.5K mile Black Lightning that had a Paxton supercharger, cassette radio, standard rear bumper and no floor mats. The high bid was $35K and did not sell. It did come with its original paperwork.

The truck went through the auction just after the end of the Friday broadcast. I'd suggest signing up with Mecum to get the link each day to watch the auction with a 15 second delay.
The truck just went through the auction at 6:27 EST being sold for $19,500 and add a 10% for the auction house. I did notice the rear Lightning decal was placed in the upper right corner of the tailgate, oops.
A Black 1993 Lightning with only 38K miles sold at Mecum Indianapolis this weekend for a bid of 36K bring the total to 39,600. It was Lot S49 if anyone is interested in looking at the photos posted on the Mucum site.
The truck went through the block and got $19K with a 10% fee to Barrett-Jackson. The comments on the truck weren't out of line with what we thought about the trucks.
On Friday April 14th a 1994 White Lightning with 62K miles showing on it will hit the block. It's Lot #334 and hopefully will be shown on the FYI channel during the day. The truck only appears to have a rear roll pan installed along with a tonneau cover for the bed. I'll let everyone know...
The new issue of Hagerty Drivers Club magazine just arrived at my house (Issue #78 March-April 2023, and it had a two-page article called Highs and Lows. the sub-title was 'Appreciation has cooled after two hot years, per the latest Hagerty Price Guide, but old cars still beat your 401(k).'...
I checked Hagerty sales observations for the last year and they were noting fair condition one's going for $10,100 and good condition one's going for $24,400. A fair condition one went for $9,900 through auction rated at a fair minus, but average at auction seemed to be around $27,500 to...
My friend was at Barrett-Jackson yesterday and tried to find out the mileage on the Lightning, but only came up with the information mounted on the windshield. Here's a picture of what they noted about the truck.
The FYI channel has the auction, but when the Lightning came to the block they were in commercial. I only caught it on their live feed to see the price.
Not a bad article about the truck we own and enjoy. This year at Mecum Kissimmee a Black '93 with 38K went for $27.5K while a Red '93 with 49K went for $44K.
Hagerty rates a '93 thru '95 #3(good condition) at $24.4k up 80% and #4(fair condition) at $10.1k up 53%. Concours condition trucks are...
If anyone is going to Barrett-Jackson maybe they can tell us. I'll ask my buddy that will be at the show tomorrow if he sees it and can tell us. Crossed fingers.
I saw a 1993 Lightning that was one owner Black that had a different paint scheme applied to the sides go over the auction block for $25K. Add 10% for the auction house (Barrett-Jackson) for a total price. The description was as follows:
Lot #373 - This 1993 Ford F-150 Lightning is powered by...
Three Lightning sport trucks sold at Kissimmee this week. L37 a White '95 with roll pan rear, changed front fog lights, and an aftermarket center seat bid to $17K. W174.1 a Black '93 with only 38K miles on it bid to $27.5K, and finally a Red '93 with 49K miles bid to $44K.
Keep in mind that...
It probably will go through the auction block before it starts airing on TV. If you go to Mecum you can sign up to watch the auction live from the start. Lets hope it does reasonably well, but the back bumper doesn't appear to be a stock tubular Ford item if you look closely.
A 1994 Black Lightning will be going across the block on Saturday December 3rd at Mecum in Kansas City. The lot number is S9 so it will be going first thing that day.
A 1995 Black Lightning with only 73K had a high bid of $22,000 before the Bid Goes On at the event. It had the following information:
Lot Number 159.1
Odometer reads 72,910 miles
5.8L/240 HP/340 lb.-ft. of torque V-8 engine
E40D electronic 4-speed automatic with overdrive
Trimmed with Gray...
A 49K mile Red 1993 Lightning will be offered at Mecum Kissimmee 2023. It is lot R144 in original condition with the tubular bumper and tow package with the original Fire Hawk tires.
I'd like to find an original wheel center cap to replace the one that went missing from my wife's '95 Lightning. The paint can be faded, but the cap shouldn't be scratched or damaged. I'll be repainting the cap in the original color so that her truck can continue to look like it just came out...
We'll have to see what this week's Tuesday through Saturday auction produces. A friend back in Indy said he went through the auction and was impressed with the number of quality cars coming up for auction.
