There’s little doubt about the timeless elegance of the first iterations of the Ford F-Series, and the abundance of restoration, modernization, and customization projects stand proud as a statement of fan interest. One could do just about anything to an F-100 and escape unharmed, from asking a bucket load of money to enabling ghost burnouts or slapping it silly with a compound turbo diesel and calling it a (drag) day.
Well, this 1956 example of the second-generation F-100 isn’t exactly asking an arm and a leg to call it yours. It’s also not quite the adept of burnout shenanigans – at least not unless the driver is also present in the cabin. And don’t get us started on that crazy ‘57 with a Crown Vic subframe that was coal rolling at the drag as if it were a steam locomotive.
Instead, this 1956 Ford F-100 is a proud restomod representative of the hot rod segment, and it’s up for grabs for $77,900 if you’re willing to pay a visit to RK Motors in Charlotte, North Carolina.
After you manage to close your eyes for a second and stop ogling at the House of Kolor Brandywine Candy paint job, we’ll get down to business and highlight some of the most appealing details.
Aside from the beautiful crimson shade, this truck that went through a professional, ground-up restoration has a lot more to show for. As far as the looks department is concerned, we need to also put the spotlight on the black 17-inch US Mags Rambler wheels that properly hide the modern 4-wheel power disc brakes, along with the beautiful tan vinyl interior and the wooden bed.
Better yet, the technical specifications properly rival the styling, with the first head-turner being the 351 cubic inch (5.75-liter) Ford Windsor V8 sourced from BluePrint Engines. That’s not all, because the F-100 also packs a Ford C4 3-speed auto gearbox, a 10-bolt rear axle, or a Speedway Motors’ Mustang II front suspension, among other goodies.
We shouldn’t forget the creature comforts, either. The Classic Instruments cluster bodes nice with the Vintage Air, while the polished and leather-clad steering wheel has a tilting column to go with the powered rack-and-pinion technology.
