Vehicle Description
There are new trucks available now that aren't as nicely finished
and comfortable as this 1956 Ford F-100. A frame-off restoration
and attention to detail gives it a period-correct presentation. But
there are also amazing upgrades like the leather interior, A/C, and
a performance-built 302ci V8 - and the whole build is unbelievably
fresh with under 100 miles on it.
There's no denying that the mid-50s Ford pickups were some of the
best-looking tools Ford Motor Division ever built, and this is the
cream of the crop. You can see a serious investment from top to
bottom that resulted in a laser-straight truck. It was then dipped
in a red so tasty that you'll swear it was candy. Fit and finish
are very nice, an that's because it has been scrutinized down to
every last nut and bolt - so you know even the best car show judges
will take notice. The curvy bodywork has a classic old pickup look
that also manages to be sporty at the same time. And the cab's
aggressive forward-leaning appearance furthers this appeal. Even
the original badges on the side of the hood and doors remain in
place. They act like pointers to the dazzling new chrome front
grille and bumper. And the two-piece wheels and whitewall tires
keep pouring on the '50s-style charm. While this Ford is a
show-stopper, don't be surprised if people actually spend more time
looking at the rear of this one. That's because it has interesting
features such as the rare wraparound big back window and the wood
in the bed is so fresh you can almost smell the forest.
Just like the exterior, the interior has plenty of period-correct
charm and all the best upgrades. The standard bench seat has been
replaced with a custom leather setup. It has a great presentation
with matching door panels and the red stitching that connects this
to the rest of the interior's color. Plus, you'll love the plusher
feeling of leather, as well as the rich scent that fills the cab.
At first glance, the whole dash area might appear very
period-correct, including the vintage heater and thin black
steering wheel. But this one hides some pretty cool upgrades. For
example, the gauges look stock, but it's really a custom setup with
a well-integrated tach. The air conditioning looks like the
old-school Ford unit but its blowing cold modern R134a. And when
was the last time you saw plush carpeting in a workmen's ride like
this? So just like the best nostalgia, the interior looks
authentic, but its exceptionally more comfortable than it came from
the factory.
While the interior and exterior impress with period-correct
presentation, the engine bay is filled with new Ford power. This is
Ford's powerful 302 cubic-inch V8 and there's only 80 miles on the
fresh crate motor. It looks fantastic in the engine bay with
features like the Ford Racing valve covers, as well as polished
components like the compressor, pulleys, brackets, stylized air
topper and so much more. But beyond its style is some serious
substance. There are performance components like an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor and a performance intake. This makes some
big power and a sweet rumble from the dual exhaust. And as you
follow the pipes' path in the undercarriage photos, you see the
tidy advantage that comes from investing in a frame-off
restoration. And when all the details are this well sorted,
especially in a place few people will see, you realize the
difference between a nice restoration and a cut-above classic that
belongs in the upper echelons. More than just look great, this
pickup was built to be a driver, too. That's why the V8 is mated to
a three-speed automatic transmission. Plus, this has power steering
and front disc brakes. You even have an aluminum radiator and
electric fan to keep this vintage pickup running cool even if
you're in traffic with the A/C pumping.
This custom build perfectly combines classic looks, modern
conveniences, and high horsepower. This fine Ford is turn-key ready
to take you on long trips in comfort, haul home awards, or both!
It's the highest quality F-100 we've seen come through here, so if
you're a true connoisseur, don't miss out on this classic. Call
