1967 Ford F100 Pickup

You may not be aware that Ford made an R-code 428 Cobra Jet F100 back in the day, and rightfully so.. Because they didn't! But if they had, this is undoubtedly what it would have looked like. The coveted, factory produced, R-code Cobra Jet cars, famously dominating stock car and drag racing events in the '60s were a force to be reckoned with thanks to their no nonsense, all business builds powered by Fords most powerful engine of the time the 428 Cobra Jet V8. CJ cars were delivered to select race teams in a simple white body with minimal trim, dog dish hubcaps, and devoid of power robbing options under the hood. The vision for this F100 build was to replicate that same formula, but this time in truck form. And even the most decerning Ford enthusiast will have to admit - they nailed it! Starting with a very solid truck, the body was removed from the chassis and stripped to bare metal. Only portions of the floor pans needing replaced to bring it back to rust free condition. With the body removed, the frame was also stripped bare and allowed direct access to the suspension for an easy overhaul. The factory 6 cylinder engine was tossed to make way for a strong custom built 428 Cobra Jet V8. And when we say strong, we mean 492 dyno-proven horsepower strong! Of course, that meant the rest of the drivetrain needed to be reinforced to accommodate the newfound power, so a stout C6 automatic transmission and new Ford 9in rear axle were chosen to handle the load. Wide rear wheels and tires aid in the traction department and give it a broad, muscular look. True to R-code form, Wimbledon white covers the expertly massaged body. The truck's straight lines and excellent panel alignment stand as true testaments to the great attention to detail that has gone into this build. Color matched steel wheels and the requisite stainless steel dog dish hubcaps let you know the truck is all business. Inside the F100 stays true to its rugged form with a fully restored bench seat and rubber floor liner. Modern touches such as updated gauges, tilt steering, and a sport steering wheel expertly blend in with the trucks timeless styling.
