nicknamed "Indy Inferno," is a standout restoration that fuses

MotorTrend Magazine, this iconic pickup has been meticulously
restored and rebuilt to offer both classic appeal and modern
muscle. The exterior shines with a vibrant PPG Deltron Inferno Red
paint job, paired with original chrome, trim, and taillights that
preserve the F-100's timeless style. With only 24,000 miles shown
on the odometer, it combines rarity with unrivaled craftsmanship,
making it a unique piece for both collectors and enthusiasts.Under
the hood, the Indy Inferno boasts a powerful 460 cubic inch Ford
V8, bored .030 over, ensuring a potent engine that effortlessly
propels the truck forward. Paired with a Hampton 6-71 supercharger
and dual 750-cfm Edelbrock carburetors, this powertrain is built
for performance. The engine features TRW forged pistons with an 8:1
compression ratio, and a high-volume Melling oil pump that ensures
durability. The MSD ignition system, along with L&L
stainless steel headers coated in Jet-Hot ceramic, complements the
engine's aggressive tone, delivering both high performance and a
signature exhaust sound that demands attention.The power is
transferred smoothly through a custom-built Ford C6 automatic
transmission, designed to handle the immense power of the rebuilt
V8. The truck features a Dana 44 front axle and a Ford 9-inch rear
end, both equipped with 3.50:1 Auburn gears, ensuring reliability
whether you're cruising on highways or tackling off-road trails.
Custom-fabricated driveshafts by Indy Clutch and Joint, paired with
a robust NP205 transfer case, provide the necessary strength for
this F-100 to perform at its peak. The combination of these
components allows the Indy Inferno to deliver a driving experience
that balances strength, power, and smoothness.The suspension system
of this Ford F-100 has been carefully designed for both off-road
capability and on-road comfort. The truck is equipped with a
Skyjacker coil spring front suspension that enhances its handling
and ride quality. In the rear, dual Rancho RS 5000 shocks further
improve suspension performance, making this vehicle capable of
absorbing rough terrain while maintaining stability. The truck sits
on 15x10 Center Line Hellcat wheels wrapped in 37 Interco tires,
offering exceptional traction and a commanding road presence. This
combination of suspension and wheels makes the Indy Inferno ready
for any adventure, both on and off the beaten path.Inside, the Indy
Inferno?s interior is a study in classic design with a modern
twist. The seats, carpet, and door panels are finished in dark-gray
charcoal fabric, with a light gray headliner adding to the refined
yet rugged feel. The original dashboard houses Auto Meter gauges,
keeping the truck's classic vibe intact while offering precise,
modern instrumentation. For entertainment, the truck features a
Kenwood CD player, along with Kenwood amps and JL Audio/Pioneer
speakers, ensuring premium sound quality to match the truck?s
performance prowess. The interior of this F-100 provides the
perfect balance of vintage character and contemporary convenience,
making it an ideal ride for long cruises or weekend drives.Not only
is the Indy Inferno an engineering marvel, but it also showcases an
exceptional level of attention to detail. The original 1956 frame
has been boxed and smoothed, and finished in PPG Sparkle Silver,
giving it a clean, custom look that matches the truck?s aggressive
performance. A custom-built 19-gallon fuel cell from No Limits
Engineering ensures ample range for long trips without compromising
the truck's rugged aesthetic. The wood bed, crafted from white oak,
adds a touch of natural beauty, making it a striking contrast to
the truck's high-performance mechanical components. This
combination of performance, design, and craftsmanship elevates the
Indy Inferno to legendary status, making it one of the most
impressive Ford F-100s in existence today. Please call if
