Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is humbled to offer what must
surely be one of the most breathtaking big window 1956 Ford F100's
in existence. With a build cost of over $320,000 and over $75,000
in body and custom paint work alone, it is completely clear that no
expense was spared during the assembly of this masterpiece. The
truck was originally built for renowned Hollywood Producer James
Brubaker, who was integral to blockbuster hits such as Bruce
Almighty (2003), The Nutty Professor (1996) and Cobra (1986) before
finding its way to the current owner who has taken this
breathtaking truck to the next level. It is literally a running,
driving work of art. This 1956 Ford F100 is unashamedly the center
of attention in its exceptional House of Color Ultra Orange Pearl
with Egyptian Gold Pearl flames. The paint and body work were
completed by Hog Wild Creations in Oxnard, California and prior to
the paint the team there shaved the F100's driprails, removed its
door handles added a one-off sculpted exterior cab visor and
extended the rear fenders and running boards that envelope the
fenders. The forward-tilting hood and custom tailgate were also
installed. Inside the recognizable big window cabin, Jesse's
Interiors in Saticoy, California installed the Glide Engineering
Ferrari leather seats, sculpted door panels, Mercedes-Benz tan wool
carpeting and leather/suede accentuated headliner. Other notable
interior options are: Vintage Air climate control, a
leather-wrapped Colorado Custom steering wheel with Cruise Control
and an upgraded Apple App radio audio system, Viper alarm, remote
door poppers, windows and auto start controlled by a key fob. Now
that we've delved into the aesthetics of the truck, a run down of
the incredible engineering is in order. One of my favorite aspects
of this truck is that it has the right powertrain by putting a Ford
engine and transmission in a Ford. Under the hood of this '56
you'll find a fully detailed and polished Ford 351 (5.8l) fuel
injected motor tied to a Ford E40D 4-speed automatic transmission.
The 351 features Ford Racing aluminum heads, Billet Specialties
valve covers and an MSD ignition. The soundtrack is unmistakable
through the thermal-coated Rewarder headers backed by Flowmaster
mufflers. Make sure to look underneath this truck too as you will
be met with something that looks just as good as what's visible
above the asphalt. A fully chromed and polished Krugel Komponents
independent front and rear suspension fitted with ShockWaves air
ride technology are completely visible through the laminated safety
glass pick-up bed floor. Wheels and tires on this F100 are 18"
(front) and 20" (rear) Rallys from Intro Custom Wheel wrapped in
brand new BF Goodrich tires and stopped with Wilwood brakes. This
F100 for sale is THE showstopper at absolutely any occasion or
event it graces its presence with and even better, this truck has
not been on the show circuit, so we are confident it's ready for
you to win its fair share of Oscars. Call our helpful and
