Recently updated on February 23, 2022 at 11:43 am

An F is probably not immediately familiar to many younger car fans in this country. He is the predecessor of the legendary F-150 series, which is an absolute bestseller in the USA to this day and regularly lands at the top of the registration statistics of the United States. This F-1 that we are introducing to you today will be released in March at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona auctioned. The minimum bid is included 1 dollars, and this one-off Ford pickup is expected to fetch a high five-figure or even a six-figure amount as it is loving and highly professional restauriert and refined wurde.

Show truck as an investment for the future.

The gray Collectible comes from the custom car forge Review and recently even graced the cover of F-100 Builder's Guide Magazine. In addition, the piece of jewelry has already been exhibited at the SEMA in Las Vegas, where it was among the best five pickup trucks of the entire exhibition. This Restomod Ford also made it to the finals in the so-called Battle of Builders, a competition in the custom car scene. Like all Weaver projects, the F1 was done to the best of their ability modified, and it was, for example, the roof by about 5 cm chopped and the A-pillar by the same amount pulled backto make the proportions look much sportier than the original. In addition, so-called Suicide doors built in, which ensures a smooth entry into the blood-red driver's cab to guarantee.

The way food is load area the novel revised, and is only suitable to a very limited extent for the transport of bulky goods. headlights and Grill are also completely redesigned and fit harmoniously into the overall concept of the Restomod project. This creates a very special face, which together with the Nostrils on bonnet has an almost frightening look, which certainly causes a lot of overtaking prestige and amazed faces from passers-by. The front view looks a bit like the face of a snorting bull that just sees a red cloth in front of his eyes.

The interior is of course also tailor-made.

The completely in Red and Grey The held driver's cab impresses with its incredible attention to detail. Red leather seats without headreststhat look like half Sports Seats as well as a gray one steering column, a gray one Center console and the red one Steering wheel rim let the perfection flash through the details of the car. Opinions may differ about this interior, but in our eyes it is close to that Restomod perfection. Unfortunately, we do not know whether modern equipment features have found their way into this car, or whether only the interior is complete restauriert without having integrated modern equipment details.

A diesel heart from Cummins beats under the hood.

A heavily modified one is used as the drive source Twin-turbo diesel with 3,9 liter displacement of the company Cummins, which was specially adapted for installation in the Ford. Together with one Four-speed manual transmission it probably makes enough horsepower to make the rear tires smoke. But you don't want to try that with such a Restomod sweetheart. To Performance and torque Unfortunately, we don't have any exact information data before, but as already mentioned above, both should be available in sufficient quantities.

Our conclusion on this Ford F-1:

The Ford pickup, by the way, on three-piece chrome rims rolls is an absolute masterpiece of restomod art. In our opinion, the vehicle must come into loving collectors' hands in order to maintain its value. It only has one few test kilometers on the speedometer, which makes it more or less in new car condition is located.
