The latest auction held by Barrett-Jackson in Arizona last weekend proved to be a major hit, not only for those who wanted to buy a car, but also for those who were just looking to feast their eyes with all kinds of classic and customized motorized beauties. One of the stars of the show was Silvester Stallone's custom Ford F-100, manufactured in 1955, which he used in his latest movie called "Expendables".

The winning bid reached $132,000 and, taking a look on the spec list fully demonstrates that such a car deserves every single cent. The 1955 Ford F-100 was built by West Coast Customs and, besides Stallone's blockbuster movie, it also starred in the "Street Customs" TV show.

Just as expected since we're talking about a customized truck, the vehicle is offered with numerous modifications, such as a new Ford 347cid Edelbrock engine, B&M equipped AOD transmission, Gibson exhaust, Heidts Mustang II front suspension and a Heidts 4-link kit with a ford 9" axle in the rear, Gennie Shifter Commander shifter, Wilwood brakes, Kinetik battery and a Vintage Air system.

On the outside, the car has been customized with exani wheels with Continental tires and a custom grille reminiscent of the '50 Merc in "Cobra". Sports Cerillo race seats, Aurora gauges, Ididit steering column and a Flaming River steering wheel greet the driver and the passengers when stepping in.

The winner of the truck also received an autographed photo of Sylvester Stallone and a special feature we preferred to keep for the last paragraph - hidden compartments to hold movie weapons...
