Vehicle Description
Time for something powerful, custom, and absolutely cool. This 1948
Ford F-1 restomod is customized over every inch. So check out the
custom exterior, slick roadster interior, upgraded suspension, and
fuel-injected big block power that all come together on this very
memorable machine.
The first thing you notice about this one is the style. It's a Ford
F-1 pickup, but the front end is a '48 Ford car. It makes for one
of the most striking first impressions wherever you take this
custom build. It's a fiberglass setup, so it was built with tight
tolerances and was made to be sleek from day one. And because the
'48 Ford convertible makes for some of the best-looking custom
roadsters out there, it instantly gives this custom build superior
status. This has great custom details, like the street-ready
stance, clean chrome-free sides, and pinstriping on the tailgate.
But also don't forget to check out the classic details. Ford
example, the fenders of Ford's cars and trucks both had a rounded
look with a dignified crease - so the style of the front and rear
really do belong together! And while there's real wood in the steel
truck bed, the only hauling you'll likely be doing is hauling home
trophies.
The tan removable top and provisions for power windows give this
the ability to be buttoned up to the world. But really, this is
meant to be a cool open roadster. That's why the interior is so
nicely finished and ready to show off. The bench has custom
contouring for comfort and the cloth finish is great for hopping in
on sunny days. It has a nice stitching that coordinates with the
custom door panels. The dash is color-matched to the exterior, and
it cleanly has nice features installed like the air ride controls
and the AM/FM/CD stereo. The cool wood and chrome banjo-style
steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column, and it gives you a
clear view to the full Classic Instruments bright readout
package.
Under the hood might just be the best upgraded of them all. The 454
cubic-inch big block looks clean and mean with the smooth inner
walls funneling all your attention to the matte black pieces,
including the valve covers w/callouts etched into them. More than
just a big displacement, this V8 has the added performance and
dependability of an adjustable Holley Sniper electronic fuel
injection. Plus, there's an MSD ignition, upgraded pulleys, and an
aluminum radiator w/electric fan to support this big block upgrade.
As you look at the undercarriage photos, you'll sport more big
investments in the right components. It includes the Heidts front
end, tubular arms on the four-link rear, full air ride suspension,
and rack & pinion steering. Plus, with the four-wheel disc brakes
and four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, this is an
awesome build that's easy to show off near or far.
Lightweight, powerful, and a true head-turner... you know exactly
why you want this Ford. So don't miss out, call today!
