Ford F-100 390 V8 1969
General description :
INCREDIBLE BARGAIN, WELL MAINTAINED 390 V8, 3 SP, NICE COLORS, HONEST SOLID F100
Plenty of V8 power, serious long bed utility, and a rock-bottom price means this 1969 Ford F-100 is the two-tone classic pickup that delivers a ton of value.
This Ford has that cool old-school look. It's a factory-correct two-tone Wimbledon White and Marlin Blue, and it was resprayed a while ago. The result is a nice gloss and shine, but not so pristine that people would ever accuse you of having a trailer queen. The same goes for the bright bumpers and up-market Range trim. They even added a nice set of 15-inch Pacer polished alloys for added flair. But the biggest appeal of this truck is its utility. The long wheel base with long bed means you're only making one trip to Home Depot before a project, and the proper trailer hitch means the toys don't have to stay at home. Who knew you could have this much usefulness in a classic?
Inside this one really embraces its workman attitude. It's a highly original interior with basic repairs along the way – almost like what you'd see in a barn find – even the blanket-style seat cover is truly old-school truck authentic. This is not yet ready for those who want a show truck, but there is an undeniable charm to the originality seen here. Plus, they even added a retro-style AM/FM stereo with digital tuner, so that there's the right driving tunes without jeopardizing this unique atmosphere.
Under the hood is a 390 cubic-inch V8 that's just as honest as the rest of this pickup. There's been good maintenance, so it fires up readily, and it makes a nice low-level rumble out of the dual exhaust. This is a historically stout and powerful motor, which really goes to the heart of this truck's appeal. After all, you want a proper V8 powerplant when utilizing the big bed, trailer hitch, or both. And no matter if you're using this for chores of just pleasure driving, the control of the three-speed manual transmission is always welcomed.
Complete with maintenance records, this is the ideal classic for someone who want something entry level, something useful, and/or a fine driver to restore as time goes on. It's as useful as it is affordable, and that makes this Ford one heck of a deal. Call today!!!

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.
