Seller's Notes

This Ford F100 Custom is an extensively ‘resto-modded’ example of the dependable classic pick-up, which benefits from a recent comprehensive restoration, and is enhanced with a raft of tasteful performance and cosmetic upgrades. Under the bonnet sits a supercharged 393-cubic inch (6.2-litre) Cleveland stroker V8, now understood to produce up to 522kW (700bhp) and driving the rear wheels via a three-speed manualised reverse-pattern ‘C6’ automatic transmission. This example is understood to have been an original Australian-market model, which has been with the seller for nearly three years. The odometer indicates 2,831 miles, though this is not warranted. This F100 is now finished in an attractive hue of Emerald Green with a matte-black front grille surround, over a green and white vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring green seat belts, and white dashboard highlights. It rides on an aftermarket set of 15-inch 9J front and 10J rear billet convo-pro Centerline split-rim alloy wheels, shod in Mickey Thompson Sportsman Radial tyres. The 393-cubic-inch Cleveland stroker V8 has been upgraded with a Bob Fisher supercharger and manifold set-up, custom performance chi-alloy-2V heads, Ford Motorsport ‘Ford Racing’ aluminium rocker covers, a custom hydraulic roller manifold, a custom camshaft, a Holley 950cfm hp double-pumper four-barrel carburettor, an MSD pro-billet distributor, an MSD 6AL box and MSD blaster, custom pacemaker long tube, ceramic-coated twin 3-inch Flowmaster exhaust/mufflers, a Coan high-performance transmission, and a 2,850rpm stall converter. This F100 also features a Ford 9-inch 3.73 true-trac 31-spline differential, 3-inch rear lowering leaf springs, 2-inch lowering front I-beams, Wilwood front brakes, a hydro-boost brake master cylinder, a custom fuel cell with custom alloy 150-litre mounted under the bed, an Ice ignition system, custom LED headlights, a custom under-dash vintage air conditioning system, custom power steering, and bespoke electrics and electronic ignition with integrated security system and a modern push-button start. Please note: a full breakdown of all upgrades can be found below under the specification list. Please note: the cherished plate ‘DJM2’ is not included in the sale. It will revert to an appropriate, age-related numberplate in the event of a successful auction. The truck comes with photographic evidence of the full rebuild on Facebook.

Specific notes from the seller include: some very minor stone chips on the tailgate and door. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. Notable maintenance carried out by Ross Performance and Automotive includes the carburettor being rebuilt, a full renewal and rebuild of the battery for the higher-powered electrical system, and a new custom-built alternator housed within the original unit. A comprehensive ‘rotisserie’ restoration and rebuild was carried out by THR Developments, which included a smooth frame finish, and a full respray costing over $290,000. This Ford F100 Custom is an extensively ‘resto-modded’ example of the rugged and dependable classic pick-up, which benefits from a comprehensive ‘rotisserie’ restoration, and has been enhanced with a raft of discerning performance and cosmetic upgrades. Reported to be in excellent condition throughout, with an attractive Emerald Green finish, custom upholstery, and an eminently powerful supercharged Cleveland stroker V8, it would make a stunning addition to any assembly of classics, and a charismatic companion for daily driving, and weekend sprints, or as an eye-catching business workhorse.
