For Sale: 1979 Ford F100 in Mesa, Arizona

This 1979 Ford F-100 has an extra sleek style and a big power 460ci big block under the hood. There's even an air compressor so that you can blow the train horns to get lesser vehicles out of your way. But when you see the thoughtful details - including the A/C interior - you start to realize the appeal here is much more than just the bold power.


This truck has nice classic details, like the brightly polished whole front end that helps draw added attention to the special square headlight of the '79 F-Series. And the well-creased body lines give this generation an authoritative style. But it's not the vintage pieces that first caught your eye. This F-100 loves to prove it's a cool custom machine. The bright blue paint is a modern clearcoat application with a nice metallic element. The overall finish gives proper shine but doesn't take away the driver-ready feeling. And that's because this pickup really was made to be enjoyed. It has a cool cruise style with all the trim deleted to give this a smoother appearance (leaving only the callout for the big motor on the fenders.) And the sleeker style continues in the aerodynamic tonneau cover and flush rear roll pan. Plus, those American Racing Torq Thrust wheels have a 16/17-inch front/rear setup with larger rear tires and a lowered front end for a very sporty stance.


The interior was upgraded for comfort and performance. The black vinyl bench seat can provide a seating space of three, but also has headrests and a fold-down armrest to be all-day comfortable. And the door panels, dash pad, and carpeting have a well-done look of a thoughtful investment. Even the dome light works. You've got the features you really want like a sliding rear window and cold-blowing air conditioning. Plus, there's a Highliner headliner to mount the upgraded speakers as well as the AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth. And you know this is a powerful pickup with the three-spoke sports steering wheel, auxiliary readouts, and cool Moon-style Autogage tach prominently mounted on the steering column.


There was a big upgrade under the hood. Ford's huge 460 cubic-inch V8 was expertly installed, and it has the tidy look of a good investment. It has been upgraded with nice pieces like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, and Hooker long tube headers. Plus, there have been solid investments in supporting components like a Be Cool aluminum radiator, electric fans, auxiliary cooling, MSD ignition package, and finned Holley valve covers. The stout three-speed automatic transmission feeds into a Ford 9-inch rear with 4.11 gears. There are even traction bars to keep the quick take-offs feeling confident. The three-inch dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers makes a terrific tune you'll love to hear on the open road. And this one really is made for driving. That's why you have power steering, power brakes, front discs, and the grip of modern Toyo sport tires.


This classic Ford pickup has a powerful style while delivering upgraded comfort. That's why it's such an irresistible pickup. Call today!!!
