1964 Ford F100 6.3L Stepside V8
Highlights
- Extensively restored by seller over 4 years
- ‘71 6.3litre Corvette engine with 3 speed auto box
- Very good condition inside and out
- Practical and potent pick up
- One keeper since arriving in UK in 2013
The Appeal
The F100 is as much a part of the American landscape as rolling blacktop, Rocky Mountains and diners. Enthusiasts have been modifying this slice of Americana ever since, extracting more character and power from these practical pick ups.
This stylish ‘64 fits right into that theme. It was imported to the UK by the seller around 10 years ago. A four year ground-up restoration then began, covering everything from sandblasting and repainting the chassis to retrimming the interior. Under the hood is the big reveal: a small block 6.3L V8 from a ‘71 Corvette.
With sparing use since completion - less than 500 miles according to MOT records - it likely presents much as it did on the day it was completed. Finished in understated black with few other signs of the V8 potency, this is a truck that it as practical as it is quick. A great buy for the truck enthusiast.

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
