This first-year F100 is a charming example that is sure to illicit nostalgic sentiment. Ben has echoed a sentiment shared by many in the hobby, “the finished product will be better if you start on a good foundation,” and this F100 proves the adage as the nut and bolt restoration process began on rust free body and frame. It is equipped with the original drivetrain including the 239 CI flathead V-8 engine and column-shifted 3-speed manual transmission.
The gorgeous Vermillion Red finish is accented with a White painted grille and Ford tailgate lettering. The refurbished interior features a Black leather bench seat, door panels and headliner as well as the optional Ford heater. The horn has the special and proper 50th Anniversary script surrounding the classic Ford Lightning Bolt crest. At the rear of the truck, the bed wood has been refinished and complemented with polished strips that yield a rich shine. This charming first-year F100 from Ben and Karen’s collection rides on color-matched wheels adorned with bright hubcaps and wrapped in Coker bias ply tires.
