Vehicle Description
Take a rare pickup, customize every inch, make it comfortable with
features like A/C, and then top it all off with some serious
horsepower. Yup, that sounds like the perfect turn-key classic to
us, too. That's why were' excited about this 1961 Ford F-100.
Ford's brief flirtation with a seamless unibody option on the
F-series is the perfect canvas for a custom like this. After all,
the Alpine Peal has been so well applied that it can offer a near
seamless shine because this truck's body has much tighter gaps and
fewer of them. Everywhere you look on this Ford, there are big
signs of huge investments. Up front, the new chrome grille and
bumper give it a shining first impression. The custom ghost flames
run up the hood, over the fenders, and down the sides. The tonneau
cover conceals the color-coordinated bed that shows off the work
needed to contain those extra wide wheels on the lowered
suspension. And it all ends in a nicely integrated roll pan, and
that seamless appearance just seems right on this unibody
F-100.
Open the door to a fully-coordinated light beige interior. When you
sit in the leather bench seat, it has the unmistakable feeling of
quality - so you know it's all-day comfortable. The leather matches
the door panel, kick plates, carpet piping, and dash pad to give
you the kind of uniform presentation you'll be proud to show off.
Even the steering wheel follows the color scheme. This classic is
fully loaded with all the best features like power windows, an
AM/FM/CD stereo, and ice-cold air conditioning. But it's when you
twist the key and hear this one roar, that's when your favorite
upgrade is revealed.
Grab your sunglasses before opening the hood, because the engine
bay is just as show-worthy as the rest of this pickup. The tidy
setup reveals plenty invested in polished components like the
etched valve covers, matching air topper, pulleys, alternator,
compressor, fan shroud, and so much more. And beyond the style
you'll find the substance of a 383 cubic-inch stroker V8. This has
been built with go-fast goodies such as an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, performance intake, and long tube headers that add
power as they also contribute to the rumble of the dual exhaust.
This is connected to a stout TH350 three-speed automatic
transmission that feeds a Ford 9-inch rear with versatile 3.50
gears. And the final part to making sure the rubber meets the road
are those massive 33x21.50 Mickey Thompson tires. But this is more
than just a pure power package, this one is quite a thoughtful
total build. You see that in elements like the Camaro independent
front suspension, and the aluminum radiator w/electric fan that
keeps you running cool even in traffic with the A/C pumping. Add in
power steering and front disc brakes, and this is one terrific
all-around custom.
The look of a drag racer, the comfort of a modern machine, and the
rarity of a unibody F-100 - all of this is turn-key ready for the
first person to grab this deal. Don't miss out, call today!
