Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present this fast and furious 1999 Ford Lightning, a true icon of American automotive history.The Ford Lightning is a true testament to the evolution of performance trucks, blending raw power with aggressive styling. Unlike its predecessor from 1993, which was essentially a more robust version of Ford's standard pickup, the new Lightning is designed from the ground up as a muscle truck. Its appearance alone sets it apart, with a super-deep front fascia and round driving lights that evoke the spirit of NASCAR race trucks. The ground-hugging rocker sill extensions further accentuate its lowered stance, which is half an inch lower in the front and a full two inches lower in the rear, giving it a menacing, road-hugging profile.One of the most striking exterior features is undoubtedly the massive 20-inch wheels. These wheels are not just for show; they are a necessity given the immense power that the Lightning packs under its hood. The heart of this beast is SVT's most formidable truck engine to date: a supercharged 5.4-liter Triton V8. This powerhouse delivers an astounding 360 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque, ensuring that the Lightning lives up to its name in terms of speed and performance.The engine's performance is further enhanced by an Eaton supercharger providing 8 pounds of boost, a high-capacity intake system, forged pistons and rods, a heavy-duty balanced crank, and a water-to-air intercooler. The exhaust system is equally impressive, featuring a pair of 3-inch exhaust tips that exit just in front of the right-side rear wheel, adding to the truck's aggressive look and sound.Whether you're looking to make a statement in the next Fast&Furious movie or simply dominate at any stoplight, the Ford Lightning is the ultimate answer. Its combination of power, style, and performance makes it a standout in the world of muscle trucks.This 1999 Ford Lightning is for sale by our St. Louis Showroom and can be seen in full detail including 100+ HD pictures and an HD video at www.GatewayClassicCars.com.
