Ford F1 283 V8 1952

General description : Description
This 1952 Ford F-1 restomod checks and delivers all the features you really want, and even some you weren't even yet dreaming about. After all, it's a sleek-looking classic with a loaded leather-lined A/C interior, proper V8 power, and four-wheels disc brakes. In fact, when you find a truck with a fully independent suspension, you realize it has to be part of an exceptionally thoughtful build.
The body is dressed in red, and it's the kind of a vivid application that makes people stand at attention from blocks away. As it gets closer, there's so much depth that you'd swear a ruby inspired the color. And speaking of valuable things, the body panels were treated like true precious metal. So this one knows how to impress from the first impression. Plus, the '52 Ford had that awesome front end that looked like the headlights and grille were floating. And the bumpers, trim, dual exhaust tips, and intricate wheels complete the outstanding brightwork package. It's a thoughtful build, right down to the gas filler craftily hidden beneath the slats of the real-wood truck bed.
The ruby red returns inside, and now it's joined by a tasteful tan everywhere, including the headliner, custom door panels, and the supple leather seats. And speaking of the seats, those are ultra-comfy late-model high back units that are great for long distance cruising. Plus, there are other great modern upgrades like power windows, a custom armrest center console, an AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth, and cold-blowing air conditioning. The banjo-style steering wheel has a coordinating tan leather wrap, and it's mounted on a tilt steering column to give you a clear view to the full VDO gauge package.
The smooth and clean inner walls of the engine bay do a great job of funneling your attention to the tidy V8 in the middle. It's a fully-built 283 cubic-inch unit that includes Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and long tube headers that feed a dual exhaust with rumbling Flowmasters. And because this is a quality build, you'll also spot the right supporting components, like a serpentine belt system and a large aluminum radiator with an electric fan. As you look underneath the truck, you'll see the upgraded tubular A-arm front suspension and Jaguar rear suspension that give you the superior fully independent setup. Plus, there's a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes. It's a high-class overall setup that proves its quality in the way it starts, idles, shifts, and drives all with confidence.
This has a slick look with the best upgrades around. It's an exceptionally presented custom classic that you don't want to let slip away. Call now!

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
