Vehicle Description
When it comes to 'old school cool', it doesn't get much better than
a tricked-out pickup. Comfortably accommodating two passengers, and
boasting the coveted ability to haul anything from a building block
to a big block, these fabled workhorses combine the best
characteristics of a flashy coupe with the straight up utility of a
commercial truck. And, in ultimate homage to golden age Detroit
design, they seem to ALWAYS look great! Wrapping clean Italian
Leather and a smooth 302/4-speed powertrain in lust worthy
aesthetics, this impressive Ford is one of the nicest Effies on the
market. And if you're looking for an urbane head turner that mixes
timeless style with killer performance, it's a solid stake for your
next street rod!
F100 SUPER STAR
Fully sorted and ready to roll, this super cool pickup recently
received a ground-up, nut-and-bolt restoration that, completed in
the Summer of 2019, earned the truck Ultimate 10 honors at the
F-100 Supernationals. As you can tell from our high-resolution
photos, that first class build is highlighted by a smooth coat of
glossy Ford Toreador Red Metallic 2-stage. Under that high quality
pigment, an all-steel fuselage joins solid panels with a new,
Walnut-lined bed. And that massaged profile centers excellent
alignment under bright reflections that bounce off Kansas-flat
surfaces.
Naturally, this Ford's professional rebuild includes a roster of
tasteful details. At the front of the truck, a chromed grille hangs
modern headlights between a mirrored bumper and quite possibly the
coolest Ford emblem ever created. Above that grille, a rolled hood
floats clean "FORD F-100" scripts in front of stylish mirrors,
polished wipers and fresh glass. At the sides of that hood, the
truck's sweeping profile founds polished door handles and a factory
fuel filler above painted running boards. And at the back of those
boards, a second mirrored bumper reflects clean lights and polished
tailgate hardware.
FORD RACING
Check the Toreador Red Metallic engine bay and you'll find 302
cubic inches of proven Ford power that was professionally assembled
by the folks at Roanoke, Virginia's Terry Walters Precision
Engines. At the top of the storied mill, a polished air cleaner
funnels wind into a coated Holley 4-barrel, which drops a precise
mixture of air and fossils into a spry Edelbrock Performer intake.
That intake is bolted to aluminum Roush heads, which balance
tasteful valve covers and a polished Ford Racing breather opposite
a roller cam, roller lifters and roller rockers. Fires are lit by
an aftermarket distributor, which sequences spark between an MSD
6AL box and loomed Accel Super Stock plug wires. Pliable V-belts
spin a polished AC compressor opposite a modern alternator. Cooling
comes courtesy of a big KKS Motorsports radiator, which fronts a
large electric puller fan. Ample lubrication is provided by a
deep-sump oil pan, which, like the rest of the motor, is decked in
traditional Ford Blue skin. And it all adds up to 370 dyno-proven
horsepower!
BUILT RESTO-MOD PROUD
Judging by appearance, this classic spent most of its blue-collar
life living clean and working hard. So, when the time came for
rebirth, the truck was a prime candidate for thorough
modernization. Nowhere is that theme more evident than under the
skin. The dressed 302 sends power to a proven A0D 4-speed, which
spins a trusty Currie 9-inch that's finished with 3.73 gears and a
locking differential. That smooth drivetrain pushes a nicely
upgraded rear-clip that features Total Cost Involved springs.
Tracking is provided by a Total Cost Involved Mustang II
front-clip, which follows power rack-and-pinion steering with
tubular control arms. Quick stops are a cinch thanks to retrofitted
power front disc and rear drum brakes. At the center of the floor,
aluminized exhaust makes excellent use of throaty turbo mufflers.
And at the corners of the chassis, chromed US Mags Ramblers twist
235/65R17 Blacklion Voracio H/Ts in front of 245/60R18 Blacklion
Voracio H/Ts.
ITALIAN CONNECTION
When you pop this pickup's doors, you'll find a comfortable cockpit
that wraps modern GTO buckets in premium Italian leather. Opposite
those power-operated thrones, a painted dash hangs Dakota Digital
VHX telemetry beside Vintage Air conditioning. At the base of that
dash, a custom console props modern Pioneer audio on clean carpet
that's fashioned around attractive Lokar pedals. At the edges of
that rug, custom side panels front convenient power door locks and
tight power windows. And in front of the driver, a polished and
wood-rimmed steering wheel laps a tilting Ididit column.
Both alluring and practical, this awesome Ford is a tastefully
refined take on the enduring concept of the American pickup truck.
Combining top-notch craftsmanship with proven mechanicals, it
presents the rare opportunity to land a show stopping classic that
easily doubles as a sorted weekend cruiser. Don't miss your chance
to claim this awesome custom!
