Ford F-100 302 V8 1955

Allmän beskrivning : SHARP F100! SMOOTH 302 V8, 4 SPEED MANUAL, OLDER RESTO BUT STILL GREAT DRIVER!

Debuting to take the place of their capable but smaller F1 predecessor, stouter, sturdier trucks like this 1955 Ford F-100 emerged to capably get America back to work in the aftermath of two separate disrupting global conflicts. Looking straight and running strong, this venerable workhorse offers a pair of opportunities for its next owner - it cuts an impressive presence and is very much up to the task of performing as an attention-getting frequent driver in its current state, or it could also be taken to a whole new level with some well-placed customization.
Ford recognized that many Americans were relying ever more heavily on their pickups to toil dependably at work sites while also performing regular transportation duties, so they bridged the gap between personal trucks and larger, more industrially-focused versions as their F1 line gave way to the F-100 just a couple of years before this 1955 first saw the light of day, arming them with a wider track and broader front ends to more easily accommodate a sizable engine, and to provide more comfort for a driver and passenger sitting side by side. Clad in a nice, solid gray paint job, this is a very capable looking vintage ride, with its beefy front fenders, stout running boards and sturdy looking rear end. When viewed from the front, the thick grille bars sitting below a star shaped emblem give it an almost art-deco look. More than 60 years of loyal service haven't taken their toll on its alignment - its body panels still fit well and nice, even gaps surround the hood and doors.
The gray interior has been refurbished in a suitably vintage look, with a modern-looking shifter just in front of the leather bench seat and an assortment of aftermarket gauges residing under the dash as the only modern components in sight - even the original, coil patterned pedals still sit in place below. If you look through the factory steering wheel, you'll see a seriously stylish dash area, with a two-tone instrument cluster sitting behind clear glass. The speedometer and factory gauges inside will need some attention to get them back online, but their aftermarket counterparts are functioning just as intended. The bed area in back shows a few badges of honor gained from actual use, but its walls are very sound and the planks lining the floor sit level between steel reinforcements that are all in place, though some refinishing of the wood would spruce things up a bit.
Owing to its generously proportioned engine compartment, the 302 cubic inch V8 sitting inside is surrounded by quite a bit of working room. An Edelbrock 4-barrel carb that sits under a chrome air cleaner combines with an Edelbrock intake manifold to add some extra power, while an electronic ignition provides a far more dependable spark than what this classic truck started out with. The engine pairs with a 4-speed manual transmission that's shifting very securely to offer a very nice driving experience. There is a long list of components that were fairly recently installed to up the dependability factor, including the clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, master cylinder, fuel tank and sending unit, fuel pump and starter, while new front end bushings and tie rod ends make for a quieter ride and secure steering. This solid running, nostalgia-inducing classic rides on a set of original 15" Ford wheels that feature great looking branded hubcaps and are wrapped with Mastercraft tires.
Offering plenty of vintage road readiness in the present and the opportunity for customization in the future, this 1955 Ford F-100 would be a great score for any classic truck enthusiast. Call today!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.
