Vehicle Description
This 1953 Ford F-100 has a great vintage look and a great story. So
when you find something with this much distinction for such an
obtainable price, you know it already has you hooked.
When a truck has a cool patina look, you want a great story to go
with it, too. That's what makes this so cool. The consignor states
this was purchased at an estate auction only a few hours from our
dealership. In fact, this is believed to be a Carolina truck all
its life! The story goes the same family owned it since new, until
2017, when it was sold at the estate sale. This was used basically
as a farm truck (the odometer is even suspected to reflect actual
mileage.) So that worn-in look was certainly earned from its years
as one family's workhorse. That history is nicely preserved when
the new owners gave the original paint a good sanding/smoothing and
then applied a clearcoat on top. While the high-gloss preserved
patina will get people talking, it also has great detail work, too.
You'll love things like the fresh rubber around the glass, full
badging, and the way the grille and steelie wheels coordinate.
Inside is more preservation with added flair. You get the classic
gauges and steering wheel. Plus, there are some subtle upgrades,
like the fresh paint on the dash and the new door panels. Some of
the upgrades are more obvious, like the auxiliary gauge trio. Plus,
we all know everyone will take note of the alligator texture on the
leather seat. But even that bold/cool upgrade is finished in blue
to go nicely with the rest of this package.
Under the hood is a 223 cubic-inch straight six motor. This was the
backbone for Ford workhorses, and they have invested nicely in
making sure this one still knows how to run strong today. It was
completely rebuilt, and includes a new fuel pump, oil pump,
alternator, water pump, and carburetor. It's supported by nice
pieces, too, like the new radiator, new brake lines, and a 12-volt
alternator upgrade. There's even a new clutch for the
column-shifted three-speed manual transmission.
This is the well-done patina truck with a story to tell. So at a
price like this, you know this deal is irresistible. Call now!
