1961 Ford F-100

Description

Take a rare pickup, customize every inch, make it comfortable with features like A/C, and then top it all off with some serious horsepower. Yup, that sounds like the perfect turn-key classic to us, too. That's why were' excited about this 1961 Ford F-100.

Ford's brief flirtation with a seamless unibody option on the F-series is the perfect canvas for a custom like this. After all, the Alpine Peal has been so well applied that it can offer a near seamless shine because this truck's body has much tighter gaps and fewer of them. Everywhere you look on this Ford, there are big signs of huge investments. Up front, the new chrome grille and bumper give it a shining first impression. The custom ghost flames run up the hood, over the fenders, and down the sides. The tonneau cover conceals the color-coordinated bed that shows off the work needed to contain those extra wide wheels on the lowered suspension. And it all ends in a nicely integrated roll pan, and that seamless appearance just seems right on this unibody F-100.

Open the door to a fully-coordinated light beige interior. When you sit in the leather bench seat, it has the unmistakable feeling of quality – so you know it's all-day comfortable. The leather matches the door panel, kick plates, carpet piping, and dash pad to give you the kind of uniform presentation you'll be proud to show off. Even the steering wheel follows the color scheme. This classic is fully loaded with all the best features like power windows, an AM/FM/CD stereo, and ice-cold air conditioning. But it's when you twist the key and hear this one roar, that's when your favorite upgrade is revealed.

Grab your sunglasses before opening the hood, because the engine bay is just as show-worthy as the rest of this pickup. The tidy setup reveals plenty invested in polished components like the etched valve covers, matching air topper, pulleys, alternator, compressor, fan shroud, and so much more. And beyond the style you'll find the substance of a 383 cubic-inch stroker V8. This has been built with go-fast goodies such as an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, performance intake, and long tube headers that add power as they also contribute to the rumble of the dual exhaust. This is connected to a stout TH350 three-speed automatic transmission that feeds a Ford 9-inch rear with versatile 3.50 gears. And the final part to making sure the rubber meets the road are those massive 33x21.50 Mickey Thompson tires. But this is more than just a pure power package, this one is quite a thoughtful total build. You see that in elements like the Camaro independent front suspension, and the aluminum radiator w/electric fan that keeps you running cool even in traffic with the A/C pumping. Add in power steering and front disc brakes, and this is one terrific all-around custom.

The look of a drag racer, the comfort of a modern machine, and the rarity of a unibody F-100 – all of this is turn-key ready for the first person to grab this deal. Don't miss out, call today!
