Featured in 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 37x12.5R15 Mickey Thompson 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
