Not very practical, but always extremely spectacular. For years, low-riding machines, made so either by using a type of air suspension or some other method, have been at the top of the list for custom builders and their customers. They turn heads, squeeze out sighs of amazement, and from time to time, convince people to dig deep into their bank accounts for the honor of owning them.
This is the plan for this extremely low 1964 Ford F-100. The F got very low on all fours in a bid to impress the right crowd, and earn as much as possible during the Barrett-Jackson auction scheduled for March in Scottsdale, Arizona. And it might just work…
What you’re looking at is described as a one-off custom-built, the result of a restoration process that went above and beyond its scope. That means most of the truck's original appeal was retained, but got twisted and turned until something unique came out the other end.
The staggered wheels (19-inch front and 22-inch rear) from US Mags make are shod in Pirelli P Zero tires and support a clean body in Razzling Red. The pickup has a kind of a strange face for a 1964 model, and that is owed to the fact a 1965 grille was used to allow for the turn signals to be placed inside the headlight units.
The interior, which features a bench seat, Dakota Digital gauges, and a Pioneer 7-inch head unit with JL Audio speakers, comes in a suitable, and very warm-looking tan.
On the hardware front, believe it or not, the truck is the beneficiary of an 8-inch (203-mm) lift achieved by means of a custom tubular bridge frame. Offsetting that is the air-ride suspension that can drop the thing so close to the ground it nearly hurts the eyes.
Under the hood, the F-100 packs a supercharged 5.3-liter V8 of unspecified output, controlled through a 4-speed automatic transmission. The truck is selling in March with no reserve, and there is no estimate as to how much it is expected to fetch.
