'Taylor Swift' 1963 Ford F-100 Coyote-Swapped Truck Does Burnouts Without Driver

Although it may not look like much from afar, once you come near this custom project, it will immediately become clear it really is something different. And one needs to see it up close and personal to believe that a maroon 1963 Ford F-100 looking like a rust bucket can perform such incredible tricks!

Now, let us pick some words that apparently have nothing to do with each other. We have turbo, stick shift, Coyote, F-100, burnout, ghost, no driver. Now try and make up just one sentence with them. We admit it:  our minds aimlessly wondered for minutes on end trying to arrange them in a logical exposition.

And we decided to give up, collect our jaws from the floor, and just say custom 1963 Ford F-100 - it’s that simple. Otherwise, reading aloud "1963 Ford F-100 is a Coyote-swapped patina-infused truck capable of doing ghost burnouts (no driver on board)" might sound a little too incredible. And we didn’t even add the fact that it’s all done on a stick shift Tremec six-speed.

This has the makings of a personal project that could go down in popular history – and not just because of its nickname that associates the truck with a renowned American singer-songwriter. Apparently, that’s a different and “long story lol!” that didn’t fit into That Racing Channel’s latest video. And, although we can imagine it’s a great one, we're glad the shoot was entirely dedicated to the truck itself.

A truly personal project for a man who’s managed to put his skill to good use through a little “premium automotive fabricationshop, this 1963 F-100 is a work in progress. The owner even amuses himself about the worn-out body “kind of falling apart on me.” We’re not surprised, this time around, after first checking out the abuse he’s subjecting the ride to.

And it’s all in the name of good fun – such as checking up from afar on his handy work while the F-100 is tirelessly burning rubber via a ghost burnout. Seriously, if we didn’t see (and replay) on more than one occasion the footage with him leaving the cabin while the Coyote-swapped truck minded its own business at full throttle, we’d think we’re still in bed dreaming about such crazy endeavors.

But it’s all there, as there’s an entirely modern setup hiding underneath the vintage appearance. That Coyote underneath the rusting hood is allegedly capable of delivering 600 horsepower, the Tremec six-speed is hooked up to a twin-disc clutch, and the bench seat inside the cabin is like an “active roller coaster simulator” for the host of this video.

By the way, you can check the rides from 5:10 and then again from 9:40, with the ghost burnout in between at the 7:35 mark. And don’t miss out on the details, which are just exquisite. As for us, we loved the bed setup (especially the Dr. Pepper cooler) the most!
