Ford F-100 5.8 Liter V8 1977

General description : VERY ORIGINAL SURVIVOR, WINDOW STICKER, INVOICE, 351 V8, PS, PB W/FRNT DISCS, AC

How often do you get to find a truck that's a well-presented survivor? That's why we know you're excited about this 1974 Ford F-100 Explorer with its original bold red paint, matching red interior, powerful V8, and possibly even original mileage. And then you check out the affordable price, and you realize that this amazing survivor is also an increasable deal.
Everyone loves the look of this factory-correct Bright Red. Some people might even ask you if you borrowed this bold color from the Mustang (because Ford sure did!) We believe this to be the original application, and so the amount of luster that's retained after four decades really highlights the level of care the whole truck received. The sheetmetal is exceptionally straight, and even the workman's bed looks nice, too. The first impression this Ford gives is truly worth the asking price alone. But then you start to notice all the great details – like the brightwork with the wide grille, chrome bumpers, and trim strip that runs the entire length of the pickup. But, there's also no mistaking those nice optional features that range from the period-correct swing-out mirrors, to the Explorer hood ornament, to the factory hubcaps. And the finishing touch is the cool white stripe package that gets this attractive pickup even more attention. Everything you want on this truck is complete and correct, just as the day it left the factory – and we even have the window sicker to prove it!
If you loved how the exterior looked fantastically original, then you'll enjoy the interior even more. After all, the full red experience is continued inside. And just like the exterior, too, you get a hint of white one the door panels. There has been protective plastic laid over the bench seat and carpeting, so it really looks like a time capsule under there – and it's all believed to be the same that Ford installed 40 years ago. This one even came loaded for its time with cool features like the AM/FM/8-track stereo that's still cranking out tunes. There's even factory air conditioning. When you slip behind the dual spoke factory wheel, the way this feels fresh and complete will make you easily believe that the 23,317 miles on the odometer could be actual. And when you do want to add miles to this one, all your gauges are crisp, clear, and ready to roll.
The 351 cubic-inch V8 looks great under the hood with its big blue block, bright air cleaner, and all those factory-style details. So we believe it is all original. This one has that perfect appearance where the workman attitude meets the survivor-grade presentation (even the jack is still in place!) A truck this nice deserves to be taken out for leisurely drives, and so it also was optioned correctly to be comfortable on the road. With a three-speed automatic transmission, twin I-beam front suspension, power steering, and front disc brakes, this is a great anytime classic.
Complete with the original bill of sale, owner's manual, and window sticker, it's going to be a while before you find a better survivor. And by then you'll likely pay at least twice as much. So don't miss your opportunity. 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
