Powertrain
Powering this classic is a 3.8-liter fuel-injected V6 paired with an automatic transmission, both sourced from a Ford Thunderbird.

Exterior

The smooth, glossy finish highlights its sculpted body lines and classic step-side bed, while subtle custom touches - such as the molded rear and smoothed panels - give it a clean, refined presence. Color-matched steel wheels with chrome hubcaps complete the look, striking a nice balance between nostalgic charm and modern polish.
Interior
Inside, a custom burgundy cloth interior complements the light exterior beautifully. Modern bucket seats, a body-color dash, and Thunderbird instrumentation have been seamlessly integrated, reflecting careful craftsmanship throughout. The cabin also brought a serious sound system featuring a Sony stereo head unit that fills the space with crisp, quality audio - Superb for enjoying the drive.
Confidence of Ownership
This F100 was built for those who love the look of a classic but don't want the maintenance worries that come with one. Thanks to its modern ECU, electronic fuel system, and updated braking and electrical components, it drives like a late-model vehicle - dependable, easy to operate, and ready to go whenever you are.
