Ford F-100 4.9L Inline 6 1981
General description :
300CI I-6, 4SPD TRANS, SHARP COLOR COMBO, CLEAN IN/OUT, RUN & DRIVE WELL, NICE!
From the two-tone paint, to the interior, to the motor – this 1981 Ford F-100 is terrific lesson in survivor-grade honesty. So whether you had a truck like this or your family had one, you're looking at an affordable way to capture some memories – and make some new ones.
The silver and blue look factory original. It's not perfect, but it has the exact level of preservation that will strike you as perfect. After all, this is from the era when the family pickup went to work, and so this one has earned its keep on occasion. But the way the two-tone is intricately put together also reminds you that dad wanted a little style on the weekends, too. After all, the way the blue is laid out using the sheet metal creases and trim as dividing borders with the silver is the kind of intricate style we haven't seen since the '60s. Plus, we love the way the blue returns on the roof, and there's even double pin striping! Ford really took their time painting this truck, so it's only fair that it remains this original today. Plus, chrome bumpers, bright bed rails, and upgraded 15-inch wheels make for plenty of extra shine on this special pickup.
Inside is a true time machine all dressed in blue. It starts with the bench seat that has comfortable blue velour for where you sit and durable vinyl for the high traffic areas. The dash is absolutely period-correct, and you've got all the right features, including the AM/FM radio and provisions for air conditioning. With the original dual-spoke steering wheel in your left hand, and the gear stick in your right, this provides the kind of classic motoring that only a well-preserved vintage pickup can.
And speaking of preservation, you're going to love the engine bay. The 4.9-liter (300ci) inline six is believed to be original to the truck. And it certainly looks the part, right down to its bold blue block and factory-correct decals. This isn't a speed demon of a power plant, but it's also no slouch (remember, the Mustang of this era is famous for its 302ci motor.) What this allows for is plenty of torque to get the job done, and thanks the control of the four-speed manual transmission, it's also quite fun to drive around town. Plus, there's power steering and front disc brakes, so this classic pickup is also a great any time cruiser.
This is rolling nostalgia offered for an affordable price. So do you want to look through your photo albums or drive them? Call now!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
