That truck was for sale at the west coast nationals this past summer. Since that picture it has been painted yellow. It has a 454 and a turbo 400 if i can remember right. Im pretty sure that's the one.
That f100 has been on ebay like 4 times now... it was a buy it now for under 8k if i recall when it has the original yellow paint, then it was on there for a bit more freshly painted as you see it today. Wish i had the dough to buy it when it was originaly on there with the faded yellow paint. The F100 XL is my favorite. It competed in factory Exsperimental. It was originaly a option to buy this truck modified, but they only made 1!!!!! it competed against the impalas and such then. in 62 ish
Its not a true gasser but I do run slicks and open headers at all times. it has a pretty healthy 351w in it (painted chunky flake pink), 4:11 posi and a C-4 with a light stall and shift kit. The worn out front end helps it look like a gasser when it launches and for a 4700 lb beast, it goes pretty good.....when it hooks up. And one more thing, those chromies are off of the real Hot Rod Lincoln, (well the back anyway, the fronts are in the Garage) I bought them from Charlie Ryan a few years back. He had them put on the hot Rod in the 70's and taken back off about ten years ago when the restored the car back to its earlier look. Let me tell you, the Hot rod looked pretty Tonka like with 15x10 reverse chromies on it. Those Hot Rod Lincoln chromies make it look like a 'pup!
I don't have any pictures but I have visions of my 56 F100 as a gasser...I wish I knew how to photoshop.
Ya, but thats not yours! I should thank you for insulting it (Thee AbsractA) so bad 5 or 6 years ago when you wanted it, that I kept it... I guess it was junk back then, who am I kiddin'........... its still JUNK. with a chunky flake pink mill.
That could be a song..."She's got a Corvair front bumber and a chunky flake pink mill..." ....Maybe not
