1979 Ford F-100 Restomod

Description

This 1979 Ford F-100 has an extra sleek style from a fresh restoration only about 2,200 miles ago. And they really invested nicely in this truck. That's why you have a powerful 408ci stroker motor, a beefy overdrive transmission, and an absolutely comfortable A/C interior. It all makes for the ultimate classic pickup for power and poise.

This truck has nice classic details, like the brightly polished whole front end that helps draw added attention to the special square headlight of the '79 F-Series. And the well-creased body lines give this generation an authoritative style. But it's not the vintage pieces that first caught your eye. This F-100 loves to prove it's a cool custom machine. The bright blue paint is a modern application with a nice metallic element. And there's a very custom style to the way they deleted the badging, changed all the lights to clear/white, and added an aerodynamic tonneau. It just gives this whole truck a cleaner and sleeker style. It also helps that pieces like the premium full-length trim look arrow-straight. It really gives the impression of added quality where no one would ever dare call this a workman's truck. And the polished exhaust tips. Lowered front stance and 18-inch alloys help to make sure no one would ever dare challenge it on the streets.

The interior was upgraded for comfort and performance. It starts with a modern TMI seat where you have two individual buckets and a fold-down armrest jump seat in-between. And the door panels, dash pad, and floor all have a well-done look of coordinating black. There are plenty of desirable upgrades, like cold-blowing air conditioning, cup holders, and an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB, Bluetooth, and a powered subwoofer. And you know this is the sports car of pickups with the wood-rimmed sports steering wheel and fully upgraded gauges with a cool blue glow.

There was a big upgrade under the hood, and the tidy setup with Ford Racing components announces it boldly. This is a fully built 408 cubic-inch stroker V8 done by Creb Engineering. The block was square decked, line honed, square bored, and honed with honing plates. They further enhanced and fortified this powerhouse with Trickflow forged pistons .030 21.5cc, file fit piston rings, an Eagle crank, Scat/Eagle rods, ARP engine fasteners, Felpro Rear main seal, brass freeze plugs, a double roller timing set, Trickflow Stage 2 camshaft, Dura-bond cam bearings, Trickflow roller lifters, Scorpion roller rockers, and AFR 185 aluminum heads. It inhales deeply with an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap intake and a Holley 770 Street Avenger four-barrel carburetor. And headers and a 2.5-inch dual exhaust let this exhale with added power and authority. This makes plenty of power, and so they upgraded the transmission to a Stage 1 Performance four-speed automatic with 2800 RPM stall w/lock-up and a large capacity transmission cooler. This feeds an Auburn limited-slip rear end with 3.73 gears. And completing this solid driving package is the power steering, power brakes, front discs, a thick front sway bar, and the grip of modern ZR-rated sport tires.

This classic Ford pickup has a powerful style while delivering upgraded comfort. That's why it's such an irresistible pickup. Call today!!!
