Vehicle Description
Depending upon the way you look at this 1954 Ford F-100 it's either
a hot rod, cool classic, or a great vintage cruiser. That's because
with a performance-built 302 V8, upgraded suspension, and comfy A/C
interior, all wrapped in a great vintage pickup body, this offers
the best of everything.
Maybe it's the combination of fat fenders and an already
low-looking profile. Or perhaps it's that unique front end. Or
maybe the real wood truck bed. Whatever the reason, this F-100
looks fantastic from just about any angle. The light blue paint is
a big help with this appearance. It's a great shade to represent
the pop art of the '50s, especially with supporting elements like
the classic Ford family crest leading the way, more Ford crests on
the step plates, and vintage chain-latch tailgate. But this
paintwork also has a more modern shine, thanks to over $30k spent
on a restoration in 2014. The modern shine helps introduce more
aggressive features like the shaved front bumper, rolled rear pan,
bright exhaust tips, and 20-inch Ridler wheels. All of which help
hint at the upgrades within.
The interior was restored with an eye for good coordination. So the
white accents of the exterior return on a nicely tailored white
bench seat, new matching door panels, and matching piping on the
carpet. They coordinate with the exterior blue that are on the
metal elements like the dash and upper doors. This is meant to be a
comfortable cruiser, and so you get upgrades like the removable
center console with cup holders, AM/FM stereo, and modern R134a air
conditioning all nicely integrated into this interior. But more
than just comfy, you can also instantly tell this was built to be a
performance machine. You slip behind the Grant sports steering
wheel on an Ididit tilt steering column. Just beyond that are a
full set of Dolphin gauges that do a great job of looking retro
cool thanks to their markings and the chrome instrument panel. The
tall floor shifter even has a nice performance feeling.
When you lift the hood, you'll instantly recognize a motor that was
built for both show and go. After all, the smooth inner fenders and
firewall are painted to match the exterior and so is the air
topper. And just about everything else was given a sold investment
in a polished presentation. And there's plenty of substance behind
the style. You're looking at a BluePrint 302 cubic-inch performance
crate. It has all the right go-fast goodies like an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, performance intake, and shorty headers that
feed the rumbling dual exhaust. But beyond just more power, this
pickup has been built with plenty of great modern features like
front disc brakes, modern Toyo Proxes tires for grip, three-speed
automatic transmission, and a TCI Mustang II style independent
front suspension for a superior ride. You even have an aluminum
radiator with an electric fan to keep this performance V8 running
cool when you're in traffic with the A/C pumping. So this is truly
an everyday friendly F-100.
Complete with build receipts, you know you're looking at a terrific
all-around custom build. So don't let a vintage truck with this
kind of quality slip away. Call today!!!
