Ford F-100 460 CID Supercharged 1955
General description :
For sale in our Fort Lauderdale showroom is an absolute beast of a truck. You are looking at a 1955 Ford F100 like no other. This Ford was fully restored in 2016. This 3-owner truck is finished in a texturized matte black exterior with a gorgeous red vinyl interior that makes this truck look amazing. The entire truck, including the frame, exterior, and interior was painted. This truck has much more than looks going for it. This F100 is powered by a monstrous 460cid/7.2L supercharged engine. The engine was rebuilt in November of 2016 and has just 563 miles on it. Air is force fed by a huge polished aluminum TBS supercharger into a polished aluminum high rise intake manifold. Also in polished aluminum is the extra large radiator and Ford racing valve covers. The engine puts out massive power thanks to all of the boost, being that it is a forced induction engine. This motor is mated to a smooth-shifting Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. This truck also has 3:51 gears. It takes extremely wide Mickey Thompson tires in the rear to keep the rubber to the road. These are wrapped around some very deep dish wheels painted a red that accents the truck perfectly. Both the wheels and tires are new. It takes power WIlwood brakes to stop this powerful truck. Driving is no problem thanks to its power steering. The most obvious touch to this build was the air ride suspension. This can be seen in the slammed stance when parked. Flick a switch a raise the truck back up off of the ground. The entire truck was professionally built. The interior of this truck smells like a brand-new car. The red vinyl is the perfect contrast to the textured matte black exterior. Inside this truck you will find a B&M shifter looks good and functions great. This truck will not last long. With the quality of this build, coupled with all of the power this truck makes, it is sure to put a smile on your face. Get it while you can! Let it ride!!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
