Vehicle Description
With its glossy red paint, custom two-tone interior, and original
large V8 under the hood, this 1966 Ford F-100 is the kind of
classic that offers far more than its value price would
suggest.
Like any good workman truck, the Fords of this era were not trying
to be too showy, but this Custom Cab has just the right amount of
added panache. Chrome bumpers, a hint of a cowl hood, and the sleek
flair side style give this instant vintage appeal. Plus, the
full-length white trim strip really stands out nicely against the
resprayed factory-correct Rangoon Red paint. The same goes for the
factory wheel covers. But some of the great-looking pieces also
help this remain function pickup. After all, those bed rails
attract attention, and when combined with the red liner paint in
the bed, this is the affordable classic that's also your friend for
weekend chores.
The red with white trim theme is continued inside, and black is
also added for distinction. You'll love showing off the bench that
has custom piping and comfortable cloth inserts for the driver and
passenger. There's also an upgrade to an AM/FM/cassette radio, but
everything else is pure '60s nostalgia. You'll grab the classic
Ford three-spoke steering wheel, and just ahead of that are the
original gauges in a machine-turned surround. Below that, the
original instruments are still in place and are fully functional,
right down to the hear/defrost controls. So this pickup provides
the perfect vintage atmosphere.
Under the hood is an exceptionally honest looking 352 cubic-inch
V8. According to the consignor, this is the original motor to the
truck, and it certainly looks the part. More than just the
originality, you'll love this because the Y-code motor was the
largest offered by Ford that year. With this kind of power and
torque at the ready, it's great to see a trailer hitch attachment
to this truck. But even if you don't do any hauling, the
well-matched gears in the three-speed manual transmission keeps up
with traffic quite nicely. Plus, Ford's twin I-beam front
suspension, an upgraded aluminum radiator, and modern Hankook tires
make this versatile classic a fine cruiser.
