1961 Ford Econoline E-100 Pickup Restomod

Description

This 1961 Ford Econoline Pickup earns its wheelie bar at the rear thanks to the big power stroker V8 sitting in the middle. So while we all know Dodge had the Little Red Wagon, you're going hear some people talk about that around your blue oval. As you check out the full package, you'll see this is built with the right stout components for being a true track contender... but there's more going on here. The leather upholstery, cup holder center console, power windows, upgraded stereo, cold-blowing air conditioning, and more give a cruiser level of comfort to this quarter-mile king.

An Econoline E100 truck is already a rare sight these days, and so it's nice to see this sleek red pickup be such a complete all-around build. After all, there's a new generation who may not have even known about the short time that these forward-control trucks were the darling of the NHRA (who remembers the Ford Backup Pickup?) So this is the kind of attention-getter that does the legacy of custom powerful pickups proud. And because all the comforts inside make this much more than just a drag racer, you will be quite eager to take it to more places and show off the full package. So while most pickups are made to carry your chore load, we bet this one will just be hauling home trophies. Call today!!!
