Ford F-100 351 Windsor V8 1960
General description :
RARE BODYSTYLE, 351 V8, AUTO, COLD A/C, CRUISE, PW, PS, PB W/FRNT DISC, RECEIPTS
As one of the most unique-looking Fords out there, this 1960 Ford F-100 is already an attention grabber. But then you add in the bold paint, custom A/C interior, and powerful V8 under the hood, and soon you realize that uniqueness can also be affordable.
We love these third-generation F-series trucks. It creates a visual bridge between the iconic freight train previous style and the muscular blocky stance that came after it. And because this was only available for a few years, we really don't get to see too many. But more than just history and rarity, this one is desirable for all of its custom touches. The gloss of the bold Fire Engine Red and lines of the custom pinstriping serve to highlight how nice this sheetmetal is even after 55+ years on this earth. And the extra shine in the wide grille, rear bumper, and half-moon hubcaps are great reminders of why we love classic American vehicles. Beneath the red tonneau cover is a classic wood truck bed. But this one also has nice modern features, too, like the third brake light mounted on the cab.
The modern upgrades continue on the inside. You're greeted by comfortable beige tweed seating. This setup has the benefit of being a large bench when you need the space, but when you want more individualized comfort, the dual arm rests and independently moving power seats give you the comfort of buckets. That's quite a versatile setup. The rest of the interior borrows the seat color and the exterior red to interweave throughout the cab for a very thoughtful and uniform appearance. And not only does this pickup look good, but also it's loaded. You have features like power windows, tilt wheel, AM/FM/CD stereo, and cold air conditioning running modern R134a for easy servicing. And because these features make for a very comfortable drive, there's even cruise control so you can take this classic on the long haul.
Ford was offering V8s in their pickups by 1960, but nothing as powerful as this one. The 351 cubic-inch Windsor motor is a legend for being reliable, versatile, and downright forceful. It looks great in the engine bay with bright elements like the Moroso air grabber, Ford logo valve covers, and diamond plate battery box. But more than just appear powerful, the Holley four-barrel carburetor, performance ignition, header package, and MagnaFlow dual exhaust enhance the sound and fury of this V8. And more than just a big power package, features like the C6 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes all come together to make this an easy any time cruiser.
Complete with plenty of maintenance receipts, you're looking at a vintage Ford pickup that has a great history and all the right upgrades. A total package like this never stays available for long. 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.
