Vehicle Description
What a nice old pickup... oh, wait a minute, check out the stance.
Those slick wheels. The sound of the Coyote's exhaust and the
blinding shine from that top-dollar paint job. No, this isn't just
some old pickup, this is a nasty pro-touring F-100 with equal parts
luxury and horsepower, making for the ideal iron fist in a silk
glove.
Before we get to all that fuel-injected Coyote horsepower, let's
take a minute to admire just how good this truck looks. It was
finished very recently (the entire build has only 1,208, miles on
the clock) and the show-quality "Scott Hoke" Metallic Blue paint is
holding up beautifully. Obviously, that comes from excellent prep
and care, and the detail work shown on this laser-straight truck
suggests that it was a very expensive build. Panel fit is
excellent, the doors open and close easily, and that big hood snugs
down neatly against the fenders. All of the truck's original curves
are still there, and the builders were right to not alter the
original Ford style, but rather enhance with fresh paint, glass,
trim, and rubber all completed and installed to an A+ standard. The
chrome on these early F-100s is plentiful, anchored by that iconic
grille up front that matches the beautiful side trim molding and
smooth bumpers, all of which are bright and shiny as can be. And
you won't be hauling anything in the bed soon either, although it's
certainly capable of handling it. But it's just too darn pretty in
our opinion, with a 100% handmade, Amish crafted, dual planed and
sealed hardwood bed with chrome slats and bedlined walls. My
goodness is this a beautiful truck.
The leather-lined interior is very comfortable and beautifully
built. Those are aftermarket, low-back bucket seats wrapped in
handsome blue and white leather, accented with billet eyelets and
fitted neatly in the Ford's reasonably spacious cab. A matching
custom center console was created to sit between them, and it
includes cup holders and the same cool eyelets found in the seats.
The original dash was painted to match the exterior and then filled
with handsome Dakota Digital gauges and a correct Ford truck
steering wheel was dropped on a matching column, so it has an OEM
look and feel. Both door panels were left with a stock setup but
painted to match the dash, the carpets below look brand new, and
the headliner up top ties the entire cabin in together nicely.
Other options include 3-point seatbelts, Vintage A/C that blows
cold, and a modern retro-style AM/FM/AUX radio that fits right into
the original slot. It's all quite neat and tasteful, and the
contrast with the insane performance is very appealing. Get in and
cruise or get in and race, it's happy doing both.
The reason this beautiful truck is so good at going fast is the
crate 5.0L Coyote V8 under the hood. Beautifully detailed, it might
make you forget that it's a massive horsepower factory, with 450+
ponies quickly accessed via a fully-expandable Ford Performance
ECU, proper tuning, and lots of bolt-on goodies. Because of it you
get instant pop when you need, along with supreme reliability,
which means this is the ultimate restomod - a classic truck with
modern performance. A giant Griffin heavy-duty aluminum radiator
keeps it cool, a JTL 4.5" intake system and throttle body spacer
help it breathe, and all the accessories are new and courtesy of
Power by the Hour. The block is beautifully finished with a Ford
Blue intake and coil covers, so everyone will recognize that this
is truly modern Blue Oval performance. The hoses and wires are
quite neatly routed in a way that'll make you proud to show off the
engine bay, too. A more-than-capable 6R80 fully automatic
transmission with Sport Mode (the manual controls are in the cabin)
is one of the few that will withstand the massive torque, and
there's a narrowed 9-inch with new Strange Engineering center
sections and axles. If you've noticed that killer stance you've
probably guessed it's all new too, with a custom Heidts and TCI
set-up in the front, adjustable coilovers at each corner, and a
custom 4-link out back to put it all down. A custom exhaust gives
it a ferocious bark that can still be civilized on the street, and
the drive is awesome every time out thanks to Wilwood power 4-discs
and a power rack-and-pinion system. 20-inch Billet Specialties
wheels are a great look on this restomod, wrapped with grippy
245/40/20 front and 295/40/20 rear performance tires that stick to
the ground.
Blank-check frame off restored and insanely fast, this amazing
truck does everything well. It's an easy cruiser but there aren't
many street cars that can keep up with it. Love the look, but
you'll enjoy the performance even more. Call today!
