For Sale at Auction: 1946 Ford Custom in Scottsdale, Arizona

Nicknamed "Hell Raiser," this custom 1946 Ford half-ton pickup blends timeless hot-rod style with modern precision. This one-of-a-kind truck started as a 78-year-old abandoned farm pickup, salvaged from a wrecking yard and meticulously restored with over 2,000 labor hours put into the metalwork alone. The "Hell Raiser" is a blend of custom touches, featuring a one-of-a-kind negative flame job designed to mix traditional hot-rod flames with a fresh, modern twist. The custom flame wheels, torched hickory bed wood and custom bodywork tie together to create a pickup that truly looks like it came straight from hell itself. Beneath the hood lies a 535hp Ford Racing 427ci stroker engine with an Edelbrock Pro Flow 4 sequential fuel-injection system and a Lentech Automatics Ford AOD Street Terminator transmission, offering unmatched performance. The pickup's fully customized suspension includes Mustang II independent front suspension and a Ridetech full air-ride suspension, controlled remotely for a unique driving experience. It is equipped with Wilwood 6-piston disc brakes and rides on Colorado Customs Flame billet wheels wrapped in Michelin Super Sport tires. Every inch of the metalwork was crafted at Tin Element in Broomfield, CO, with a fully boxed frame, reinforced with quarter-inch steel plate for maximum durability. The custom bodywork features suicide doors with shaved handles, remote controls, a custom tubular grille, Hagan frenched headlamps, molded LED turn-signal lamps and a reverse-tilt hood kit, all seamlessly integrated to enhance its aggressive stance. The bed features torched hickory wood, recessed LED '32 Ford sequential turn signals and hidden tailgate hinges for a truly sleek look. The pickup's unique paint job, applied by the late Mike Lavallee at Killer Paint - a legendary auto industry artist often featured on television shows such as "Monster Garage" and "Overhaulin'" - showcases PPG Triple-Black and House of Kolor Candy flames, making it a true work of art. Inside, the pickup boasts premium Nappa leather upholstery, a Wise Guys bench seat, custom door panels, BMW-style imported carpet, and a hidden Bluetooth audio system by Secret Audio with JBL speakers and subwoofer. Comfort is key, aided by a Vintage Air climate-control system and New Port windshield wipers. The garage-kept pickup's gauges are by Classic Instruments, and the seatbelts are aircraft-style for a modern touch of safety. The sale includes a professional $210,000 appraisal. ** PREVIEW
