Vehicle Description
This 1962 Ford F-100 is an honest, dependable truck, that has
received all the right attention recently to make it interesting,
dependable, and honest - exactly what you want in an affordable
vintage pickup.
The color on this one is affectionately referred to as Hot Rod
Black. It's a newer application that gives this pickup a bit of
meaner and tougher appearance. That same can go for the painted
silver on the grille, bumpers, and wheels. But take a closer look,
this is no workhorse. The panels have been given the right
investments so the whole body appears quite straight. And that's a
good thing on a truck like this because between the flared front
fenders and the flareside bed, this one looks downright sporty.
Plus, the fresh wood in the truck bed gives it a freshened feeling,
too.
This truck is going for a true old-school feel, so your only luxury
is the upgrade to a cloth seat. Sure, the price on this one leaves
plenty on the budget to add thick carpeting, a stereo, and modern
creature comforts... but that's not the point of a pickup like
this. Once you slip behind the classic steering wheel and feel the
grooves of all those who came before you, you start to get the
tingle of history. That tall gear stick energizes you with every
deliberate throw into the next up-shift.
Under the hood a correct 221 cubic-inch inline six, and the
consignor says it's original to the truck. The "Mileage Maker"
motor was central for those who like using their trucks on the long
haul. It's an important power plant that's rarely seen
anymore...that's why we're so happy to see it still under the hood.
More than just the right motor, there has been all the right
maintenance in the last year, including a compression check, valve
job, new water pump, new starter, replaced radiator support, and
the Holley single-barrel carburetor was rebuilt. So this one fires
up readily, runs smooth, and makes a hypnotic exhaust note. With
well-matched gears in the four-speed manual transmission, it keeps
up with traffic without any issues. And with plenty of attention on
suspension components and new Goodyear Wrangler tires, this is the
kind of package that can surprise a lot of folks as they see you
driving around town or going on a lumber yard run.
Complete with title documentation, the stories this pickup can tell
and the places it can still go are worth the very affordable price
all on its own. That's why this original and authentic F-100 is not
going to stay with us long. Don't miss out, call today!
