Vehicle Description
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1966 Ford F100 pickup
truck. The mid-1960s F-series are among this writer's favorites,
thanks to the Twin I-Beam front suspension (a nice upgrade from the
previous solid axle design) and the introduction of the 352 cubic
inch V8, the first Ford truck that made over 200 hp (gross).
Built at the Michigan truck plant for the Atlanta DSO, this truck
has been in Atlanta its entire life. After nearly thee decades of
faithful service, the original owner commissioned a full
restoration in the mid-1990s; the current owner was a friend of the
original owner and acquired the truck in the early 2000s. It has
always been garaged since the restoration and driven sparingly.
More than 100 photos document the restoration, which involved a
bare-metal repaint, renewed interior and overhauled drivetrain.
Panels are straight with good gaps; chrome and glass are nice.
Excellent finish quality with no bubbles or lifting paint, even 25
year on. Bed interior has been rhino-lined.
Under the hood is the correct Y-code 352 ci V8 mated to a
three-speed column shift manual. Starts, runs and drives well.
Still feels tight and "put together" as we estimate only around
10,000 miles on the restoration. Only deviation from stock is the
addition of A/C, which features a modern Sanden-style rotary
compressor under the hood and a custom-fabricated evaporator/blower
unit in the cab.
