The word Custom on this 1973 Ford F-100 was initially just a trim line. But as you can see from the gleaming modern paintand#44; shimmering grilleand#44; leather interiorand#44; 450+ hp V8and#44; and a whole host of other features...this is a true custom pickup in every sense of the word. The Peal White on this is a very cool application. When the sunlight releases the metallic tones buried deep in the clearcoat finishand#44; it has a sparkle that rivals the brightwork. Thats why this truck doesnt need any side trim. Just clean straight lines and shaved door handles to create an uninterrupted profile. But on a great classic American like this you always have to have some brightwork. Its reserved for the front where the grilleand#44; bumper and F-O-R-D lettering looks like a mirror leading the way. In the rear the bumper is just as shinyand#44; and the tailgate trim gives a hint at the pickups zoom-zoom nature. And of courseand#44; we didnt forget about the large shimmering Ultra Motorsports wheels that are also staggered 20 and 22-inches front/rear for an aggressive stance. Theres too much to go over the full list of whats gone into this F-100 Custom (call for all the details.) But you can see the level of intricacy in places like the clear turn signals up frontand#44; the blue dot taillightsand#44; and how theres even a tough spray-in bedliner under the retractable coverand#44; in case you still want to use it for a hardware store run. The moment you pop the door openersand#44; you discover an interior thats far more comfortable than anything that came out of the 1970s. The custom black leather bucket seats have modern bolstering for all-day comfort. And when you fold down the center jump seatand#44; you get a cup holder center console with the comfort worthy of a road trip. Trucks like this were made for the driverand#44; so everything is within easy reachand#44; including the heat/defrost controls and the upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo. But the moment you grab the Grant GT three-spoke steering wheel and stare at the full Dakota Digital gauge package (w/shift light)and#44; you know this truck was made for driving fun. But just in case you didnt figure that out alreadyand#44; theres a Hurst shifter on the floor. With a truck thats already show-worth on the inside and outand#44; you better believe that its finished off with something special in the engine bay. And once you look beyond the shine of the air grabberand#44; master cylinderand#44; valve coversand#44; and other componentsand#44; youll see the substance of a performance-built 390 cubic-inch V8. It has been enhanced with go-fast goodies like an Edelbrock camand#44; PRC rockersand#44; Hi-Tech pushrodsand#44; Edelbrock RPM headsand#44; Edelbrock Performer FE intakeand#44; Holley 750 Ultra Double Pumper four-barrel carburetorand#44; and Hedman Elite HD headers. The full package is rated at around 450 horsepowerand#44; and everyone knows it thanks to the fierce growl out of the Flowmaster dual exhaust. Best of all theres only 2and#44;500 miles on this motor and the four-speed top loaded transmission that gives you complete control over the monster V8. All this power gets to the road via an Eaton Ford 9-inch limited-slip rear end running 3.90 gears for good take-offs. This truck feels great on the road thanks to Fords sturdy and versatile twin I-beam front suspension that has been given new bushings. Plusand#44; the power steeringand#44; front disc brakesand#44; and modern performance tires make this Custom an easy every day choice. This Ford F-100 truly lives up to its Custom name. And when its one-of-a-kindand#44; with quality like thisand#44; it means you only get one chance at taking it home. Call today!! |
