Ford F-100 Restomod 350 V8 Crate 1952

General description : Description
This 1952 Ford F-100 Restomod has the kind of story we love. It started as a barn find truck that was restored with a strong V8, overdrive transmission, upgraded suspension, leather-lined A/C interior, super-slick paint, and much more. It makes for an iconic design that's also a show-stopping custom.
Marron is a great color to have on a classic pickup. After all, it's some of the darker tones we associate with these early 1950s machines. But since this is a fully-built restomod, the paint also has a terrific metallic element that really pops in the sunshine. The big gloss highlights the curves of the fenders, rounded cab, and alligator hood. And everything from the window glass to the wood in the truck bed seemed to get careful attention during the restoration. The overall look really does a nice job of blending vintage and new. You see it in details, like the brightwork where the mirror-like bumpers and grille trim shine just as bright as the polished Ridler 18-inch wheels. More than just look great, this pickup was a labor of love. The story we're told is that this started out as a barn find pickup. The consignor went over inch in this frame-off restoration/transformation. He worked on adding many of the new components, but anything that needed specialized work was sent out to the correct shops. The full restoration was completed just a few months ago, and it has been driven less than 100 miles since then.
The interior gets the full custom treatment. It starts with two leather bucket seats placed within a cool custom form that surrounds them like a roadster. Matching leather door panels, plush carpeting, and a suede headliner give this a premium and thoughtful total presentation. There are the right comfort upgrades, like power windows and cold-blowing air conditioning. Plus, you get a banjo-style sports steering wheel on a color-matched tilt column. It gives you a clear view to the Omega Kustoms upgraded gauge package.
The engine bay has a smooth look, and there's a powerful heart in the middle. This is a Chevy 350 cubic-inch crate motor. These fresher V8s are already known for their power, and this one makes sure to really deliver it by inhaling deeply with a Holley four-barrel carburetor. And the shorty headers add more power while also contributing to the rumble of the dual exhaust. It's supported by the right components, like a serpentine belt system, HEI ignition, and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan. As you look underneath the truck, you'll see an upgraded tubular A-arm front suspension that makes this a nice driver. Plus, the 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission upgrades means you have overdrive to make this easy to enjoy near or far. There's even rack & pinion power steering and power brakes with front discs.
The sale comes with restoration photos and build receipts. They help show the total care and investment it takes to create a labor of love restomod like this. 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.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
