Vehicle Description
This 1953 Ford F-100 is the total custom build pickup you've been
looking for. It offers an awesome two-tone paint job, a spectacular
matching A/C interior, and a gleaming performance 302 V8 under the
hood. You can read on for all the other details, but we already
know you're hooked on this eye-catching custom.
You know this paint alone causes a stir wherever it goes. The only
thing that can shine brighter than a deep coat of Candyapple Red is
metallic silver, so they were both used to create this shining
star. And to separate these two simmering elements is a neon yellow
pinstripe, but that's not what you really see. Instead the carbon
fiber that follows the yellow is the real detail they'll be talking
about. It gives this vintage Ford a very modern twist, and it only
helps that there was an investment in super straight sheetmetal so
that this whole design can flow seamlessly from panel to panel. And
great metal is perfect for a truck like this, because '53 was the
first year for the 2nd generation F-Series. The new design centered
around a theme that has been rounded off everywhere for a very
sporty appearance that still has vintage charm. And the world of
modern and classic seem to merge perfectly all over this pickup
from the painted grille, to the large American Racing alloys, to
the real wood truck bed.
Open the door to see even more amazing custom work. The red and
sliver theme continues inside with the two colors playfully
alternating on the seats, carpeting, side panels, and headliner.
For those of us who have ridden in real 1950s machines, the sight
of the bucket seats with a cup holder center console signifies a
superior level of comfort. But this is far from the only upgrade.
You and your passenger will love the modern AM/FM/CD stereo, and
the ice-cold R134a air conditioning means you get to stay cool
while looking cool in this F-100. But the best features are
reserved strictly for the driver. You get the banjo-style chrome
steering wheel mounted on a tilt column. Beyond that is a full set
of gauges, including tach, which is a clear indication of something
special under the hood.
You're going to love tilting the hood forward at the car shows to
reveal the Ford V8. But we will warn you that you might want to
grab your sunglasses before looking into the engine bay. Not only
is the whole area painted metallic silver just like the exterior,
but also just about every component has been polished, including
the air grabber, alternator, compressor, master cylinder, and Ford
Racing valve covers. And when you look beyond the shine, you're
going to see the substance of a 302 cubic-inch V8 that has been
upgraded with a mild cam, aluminum intake, and four-barrel
carburetor. The dual exhaust makes a wicked performance sound, but
don't think of this custom purely as a speed machine. It has a lot
of great anytime driving features such as the three-speed automatic
transmission, independent front suspension, power steering, and
front disc brakes. Plus, the aluminum radiator with electric fan
means your vintage pickup stays cool even when you're in traffic
with the A/C running. So don't be afraid to take this one to the
car shows that lesser classics could never journey that far.
The amazing paint is what grabs you, but it's only the beginning of
the full custom build. In fact, this turnkey ready classic has
barely gone 1,600 miles since completion. So the first one to grab
this deal will be the one who gets to break it in. Call
