1954 Ford F-100

Description

We could tell you this 1954 Ford F-100 is hot, but one look at the flame paint, and you already knew that. With upgraded V8 power, an A/C interior, and a ton of custom work (including the full tilt front end), you'll be the hottest thing at the car show.

We've all seen cool custom cars with fire painted down the side, but what happens when the whole cab is turned into a flame? Well, for starters, it causes a stir wherever it goes. But it's more than just the tri-color paintwork. These second-gen F-Series were always destine for custom work because they are a terrific design. The curvy bodywork has a classic old pickup look that also manages to be sporty at the same time. Plus, you get the right vintage touches like the Ford logo step plates, Custom Cab badging, and a real wood truck bed. To that they added custom pieces like the frenched radio antenna, custom roll pan, a louvered tailgate with custom pinstriping, and a bright set of US Mags wheels nicely staggered at 18/20 inches front/rear. But our favorite custom piece (besides the flames) is the front section that tilts forward in one piece like a racecar.

The investment in a custom appearance continues inside. The exterior blue returns on the door tops and dash. Plus, you get more of the cool custom pin-striping. The bench seat is a custom setup that features individual bolstering for better comfort than they offered in the '50s. Not only do the door panels match this black and white presentation, but also the blue piping on the black carpeting unites the full color scheme. This custom setup also means nice modern upgrades, like the Clarion AM/FM/CD stereo and cold R134a air conditioning.

Because the whole front end tilts forward, people will be expecting this high level of showmanship in the engine bay. That means a tidy setup with bright valve covers and custom mounted A-arms painted to match the exterior. More than just look good, this 327 cubic-inch V8 has performance upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Weiland Intake, and headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. There's even a Champion aluminum radiator w/electric fan to keep it all running cool. And keeping cool is what this flame-kissed pickup is all about. After all, you not only have an A/C interior, but also the power steering, three-speed automatic transmission, and front disc brakes means you can drive this without ever breaking a sweat.

This custom build perfectly combines classic looks, modern conveniences, and rumbling V8 power. It's a stunner on all accounts, and it's ready to roll right now. Don't miss out, call today!
