Vehicle Description
In the automotive landscape, few vehicles possess the timeless
charm and rugged elegance of the 1978 Ford F-100. Recently bestowed
with a meticulous cosmetic restoration, this vintage pickup stands
as a testament to the enduring legacy of American craftsmanship.
Serial Number F10GNBE1319 marks its unique identity, a relic from
the Norfolk Ford Factory where it was carefully assembled to embody
the spirit of the era.
Underneath the Bright Red paint, the Ford #5440-A
Basecoat/Clearcoat, expertly wet-sanded and buffed, gleams like a
beacon of automotive artistry. The rejuvenation process went beyond
a mere surface-level makeover. The entire bed was professionally
removed for a new coat of paint, creating a seamless aesthetic that
elevates the truck's allure.
As one opens the door and sinks into the Red Knit Vinyl Custom
Bench Seat with fresh upholstery, the authenticity of the Custom
Package becomes apparent. Every detail speaks to a bygone era,
where craftsmanship mattered, and attention to detail was the
hallmark of excellence. The Styleside Bed adds to the truck's
rugged appeal, a practical yet stylish feature that sets it
apart.
Powering this vintage marvel is a 302-2V V8 engine, delivering a
distinctive rumble that resonates with the soul of American muscle.
The Factory C6 Automatic Transmission, meticulously rebuilt,
ensures a smooth and responsive ride. Paired with a 2.72
Conventional Rear Axle, power steering, and power brakes, this
F-100 seamlessly blends performance with practicality.
Clocking in at a 133-inch wheelbase, this truck carries its weight
with grace. With a 4800lbs Gross Vehicle Weight, it's ready to
tackle both urban roads and rugged terrains with equal prowess. The
addition of a Trifecta 2.0 Folding Bed Cover not only enhances its
visual appeal but also adds a layer of practicality, protecting the
bed's contents with style.
Not just a feast for the eyes, this 1978 F-100 delivers a symphony
for the ears with its new dual exhaust system with Flowmaster
mufflers, crowned by chrome tips that hint at the power beneath the
hood. The gleaming chrome bumpers, new windshield gasket, and four
fresh rims wrapped in Cooper Cobra Tires underscore the commitment
to excellence in its restoration.
Practical upgrades meet modern convenience with the inclusion of an
aftermarket AM/FM/CD/AUX/Bluetooth radio. Side and rear window
tinting adds a touch of modern flair while maintaining the truck's
classic vibe. The new fuel tank and sending unit ensure reliability
on the open road, completing the package for an unforgettable
driving experience.
As a testament to its authenticity and history, this 1978 Ford
F-100 comes with a Marti Report, providing a glimpse into its
manufacturing origins and specifications. A must-see and drive,
this vintage gem beckons enthusiasts and collectors alike. Each
detail, from the meticulously restored body to the powerful engine
beneath the hood, tells a story of American automotive heritage.
Embrace the nostalgia and power of the 1978 Ford F-100 - a timeless
classic reimagined for a new generation.
