This 1979 Ford F-100 is a true time capsule, boasting an
astonishingly low 37,585 miles on its odometer. That's less than
850 miles a year since it rolled off the assembly line - a feat
almost unheard of for a 45-year-old workhorse. Draped in Light
Medium Blue with eye-catching pin stripes, this short-bed pickup
looks like it just teleported from the Carter era. Its 235/75-15
tires, wrapped around 15-inch wheels, have barely broken in. A
recent restoration has this F-100 gleaming, its chrome bumpers and
pristine grille defying the passage of time.
The interior is a throwback to simpler days, preserved as if in
amber. Blue vinyl and cloth bench seating shows minimal wear,
testament to its incredibly low mileage. The dash, with its crisp
gauges and straightforward controls, exemplifies Ford's no-frills
approach to truck design. An AM/FM/AUX stereo is the sole nod to
modernity in this otherwise period-perfect cab.
Lift that hood and you'll find a 302 V8 engine, a powerhouse that's
seen less action than most motors half its age. Mated to a C4
3-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain is just hitting its
stride. The dual exhaust with aftermarket mufflers gives voice to
an engine that's barely cleared its throat in four and a half
decades. Power steering and front disc brakes round out the driving
experience, making this F-100 as easy to pilot as it was when
Gerald Ford was in office.
