Vehicle Description
For sale in our Detroit Showroom is a super cool and very unique
Ford F-150. This 1997 F-150 is not your average single cab, short
bed pick-up. This F-150 has been transformed into a NASCAR style
truck that performs like it should. The concept of pickup truck
racing started in 1983 when former NASCAR driver Buck Baker
established the National Pickup Truck Racing Association to help
Buck Baker Driving School graduates start their careers. The
series, which did not plan to have a points system, had a ten-race
schedule planned with intentions to sell the series to NASCAR. The
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (formerly the NASCAR SuperTruck
Series presented by Craftsman and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck
Series) is a pickup truck racing series owned and operated by the
National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, and is the only
series in all of NASCAR to race modified production pickup trucks.
This F-150 allows you to feel like you belong on an oval track with
the pedal to the metal. Powering this lightweight pickup truck is a
Triton 4.6L V8 paired to a 4 speed automatic column shift
transmission. The stout V8 is equipped with a K&N Cold Air
induction system, SVO Headers, Borla mufflers and a tuned ECU for
more aggressive driving. The suspension has also been addressed to
drastically reduce body roll and help this F-150 stay planted. With
36,015 miles, this F-150 will turn the odometer over a few more
times before you decide to part ways with this one. This awesome
truck is ready for some good climate and a fun cruise. All decals
are removable and the interior remains original and stock. For more
