Ford F-100 360 V8 1972
General description :
FRESH RESTO, 360 V8, C6 AUTO TRANS, CLEAN IN/OUT, RUNS & DRIVES LIKE NEW, SHARP!
It takes amazing paint, a throaty exhaust, and plenty of chrome to turn heads when going down the street. That's why you're instantly attracted to this restored 1972 Ford F100 Explorer. The time and money that went into this truck build is shown in its extremely high quality!
Ford did an amazing job in '72 with a bright grille, brighter bumpers, a little fender flare, and a hood design that looks like a double power dome. Plus, this Explorer trim's sweeping line of bright work that runs from the front all the way down through the styleside bed helps to serve as a guide to demonstrate how straight the body is. Even the factory wheel covers are correctly in place! But what everybody will notice is that the paint is so sharp, and so red, it looks like a fire engine. It was repainted as part of this truck's restoration, and since that was around 6,000 miles ago, it still looks fantastic in the sunshine. Despite all this bold appearance, this Ford is still a pickup to its core. That's why the rear step bumper still has its trailer hitch, there are tall trailer mirrors, and the bed has a tough black liner.
Inside someone has gone to great lengths to keep this red looking fresh, and so you'll love showing it off. The carpet, door panel, and headliner all coordinate with the exterior in a shade that is usually seen in an aggressive sports car. An especially nice touch is the seat. Not only was it restored, but now it has a matching center console that includes cup holders, storage, and even a CB radio. Plus, there's an upgrade to an AM/FM/cassette stereo. But even with these newer features, all the best vintage pieces are still in place. The factory dual-spoke steering wheel gives you a commanding view of the gauges. Plus, we know you'll love opening the vent windows and sliding the rear glass to get the old-school truck breezes. Any time it's too warm for only that, the modern R134a air conditioning will always keep you cool.
Just like the interior and exterior, there is an exceptionally fresh presentation under the hood, too. Ford's bold blue block with matching air topper and valve covers really make for a standout package against all the fresh black components of the engine bay. The reason why everything looks so good is because the 360 cubic-inch V8 was rebuilt during the restoration. It inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority from the glasspack-style dual exhaust. No matter how you decide to use this pickup, you'll enjoy features like the three-speed automatic transmission, comfortable but sturdy twin I-beam front suspension, power brakes, and power steering.
This is a great cruising pickup that has been restored and upgraded in all the ways you want. So when something this nice is also so affordable, you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. 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.
