Vehicle Description
This 1955 Ford F-100 is as custom as custom gets. It has a fully
coordinated electric purple presentation, a full custom interior,
and a classic Hemi under the hood (yes, a HEMI!!!) So if you want
the best of everything, and all the right standout distinction,
keep reading...
This classic pickup wants everyone to remember exactly who you are.
The striking purple paint has so much metallic shine, that it
rivals the chrome for brilliance. But you can tell there's a lot
more going on here than just the striking color. These classic
Fords already have a curvy look like they were built for speed with
the bulge in the hood, steel running boards, and rounded rear
fenders. Then you add in the big dual exhaust tips, forward-leaning
stance, and staggered American Racing Torq Thurst wheels. It might
have started life as a workhorse, but the only evidence of that
anymore is the real wood in the truck bed. And we know you love all
the details - right down to the two-tone pinstriping and the
reminder across the rear that it quite uniquely powered. All of
this makes for an award-worthy package even before anyone sees
inside.
The moment you open the door, you realize there was plenty left in
the budget to splurge on a full custom interior. The exterior
purple is seamlessly blended into the gray on the seats, carpeting,
door panels, dash, and headliner with custom overhead console. So
it all has that feeling of a uniformity that come in only the most
thoughtful builds. You get a set of bucket seats that are far more
comfortable than anything that came out of the '50s. And when you
look on the center console, there are nine power adjustment
settings so you can make sure this classic pickup is long-haul
comfortable. You also get other great upgrades like an AM/FM/CD
stereo, power windows, and air conditioning. But while everyone
might want to be your passenger, the best treats are reserved just
for you. Your left hand grips the billet steering wheel with Ford
V8 logo in the horn cap, and your right one will love the Lokar
shifter. And if you're wondering where your gauges are, all you
have to do is fire this one up, and they begin to glow blue from
the center of the dash.
Only the best in performance machines have clamshell hoods, so this
classic Ford was custom fitted with one for a very good reason.
Once people look beyond the stellar shine of the air toppers, valve
covers, alternator, and so much more, you'll see a very special
motor. We love cool customs power by Ford and Chevy motors, but
you'll get everyone talking when they see a classic Chrysler Fire
Power Hemi. This 392 cubic-inch V8 is the big daddy of the
first-generation from the now-legendary Hemi line. In fact, the
dual four-barrel carburetor setup boldly seen here is similar to
what gave the letter-series coupes such legendary status. Yes, you
read that right... not only is this largest original Hemi, but also
it is topped with two Edelbrock four-barrels! So while this one
might look like a pretty trailer queen, the growl of the exhaust
let's everyone know it's a true street-eating muscle machine! And
more than just pure power, this is backed up with all the right
components. The front suspension is a Mustang II-style unit, and in
the rear, is a strong four-link with adjustable coilovers. Add in a
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc
brakes, and you've got all the right features to keep this beastly
custom build under comfortable control.
We've resisted from calling this a Purple People Eater, but once
there's just no other way to describe something that looks this
striking and is so massively powerful. So if you want all eyes on
you this weekend, you need to call today!
