Highlights

- ‘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.
