Vehicle Description
With only 500 miles since completing its frame-off restoration,
this 1936 Ford pickup has been transformed with sleek red paint on
the outside, and a custom leather interior on the inside. And
beneath the skin is a well-built small block, four-wheel disc
brakes, and an overdrive transmission. It makes for a powerful and
head-turning custom that also doesn't stray from its vintage
appeal.
This Ford was made to impress. After all, they borrowed the Guards
Red paint form Porsche. It's a glossy finish has that unmistakable
extra luster from a recent professional application. So it does a
terrific job of highlighting all the pre-war Ford curves. Oh yes,
this a steel body pickup. The fenders are fiberglass just so that
you can get that classic swoopy look while still fitting more
modern tires. And this one really loves to balance classic style
with plenty of street machine attitude. You see it on the
brightwork where the front bumper has the classic appeal as it dips
to show off the grille. And that level of shine coordinates with
the polished Cragar SS wheels. Not only are they a streetrod
favorite, but the extra meaty rear tires give this a more
aggressive stance. There are more great classic elements, including
beautiful lumber in the truck bed. But the full package ends with a
large set of dual exhaust tips that really let everyone know this
is far more than just a bright and straight classic.
The tan interior has a fresh look that has a timelessly attract
style against the exterior red. And as you look closer, you see the
theme continues that balances vintage and new. It starts with the
upgrade to dual bucket seats. It provides far more individual
comfort than trucks did in the 1930s, and these are finished in a
supple leather. They respected the truck's vintage side with the
clean and uncluttered dash. But this one also wants to be a proper
driver for modern times. So you have well-integrated upgrades like
a Flaming River wood-rimmed steering wheel, a Flaming River tilt
column, and a full set of crisp New Vintage gauges.
The butterfly-style hood is always a great classic piece that can
attract a crowd. But what's contained within is far more modern.
It's a Chevy 350 cubic-inch V8, and the full presentation is so
fresh and tidy that it's an instant reminder how few miles this has
gone since its full restoration/rebirth. Plus, you have some great
performance upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, and shorty headers feeding the
stainless dual exhaust. There are also nice supporting components
that show this was a thoughtful build, like the Walker radiator,
Mallory Unilite distributor, high torque starter, and a CoolCarb
plate. As you look underneath, you'll see more of this build's
freshness. You'll also spot streetrod style features like the
four-link front end. But as a true thoughtful build, this one has
extras you don't find in too many other, like the four-wheel power
disc brakes and the four-speed automatic transmission
w/highway-friendly overdrive.
Complete with build receipts, this is an alluring mix of vintage
and modern all wrapped in a fresh package. So you know this pickup
is an irresistible deal that you need in your garage. Call
