Vehicle Description
This 1971 Ford F-100 has that attractive patina shop truck vibe
where people can't help but stop and stare (after all, that's why
you're reading this listing!) So dig into all the details on this
original style with plenty of extra hints of cool.
The paint on this truck has an instant distinction. The green has
aged into a well-earned patina that has the exceptional appearance
of originality. There are even some cool hints at this truck's
previous life with the logo still visible on the passenger door for
the Douglas County School District of Roseburg, Oregon. There's
even some numbering on the tailgate. So it really has the look of a
proper workhorse. You even still have trailering side mirrors and a
rear step bumper with ball hitch and wiring plug. And of course, a
bed like this one will never have you worrying about using this
classic for real pickup duty. That's what gives it that ultra-cool
shop truck vibe. There's even a nice lowered stance on the upgraded
American Racing Torq Thrust wheels.
The interior is highly original and appears weathered. There are
plenty of components available to easily and inexpensively upgrade
this look, but that's not the real point of a pickup like this. You
love it because a patina truck is all about wearing its workman
history with pride, and this one certainly does that. It's basic
and absolutely nostalgic. The only real upgrade is the velour bench
seat cover, because as much as you may love originality, it's
always nice to feel comfy behind the wheel.
The towering blue block of Ford's inline-six really looks terrific
in the engine bay. It looks as honest as the rest of this truck,
and it just has the tall looks of a sturdy powerhouse. So while a
monster V8 would fit in here easily, there's just a cool feeling of
stock that fits in with this pickup's theme. There's a true vintage
feeling, right down to the column-shifted three-speed manual
transmission. However, the ride is elevated by the right
investments, including a newer front suspension and modern tires
that come with the wheel upgrade.
Some of us understand exactly the appeal of a well-aged F-Series
like this. So if you love a true patina classic, call today!
