This 1972 Ford F-100 Sport Custom has its numbers-matching 360 V8, and even the low mileage is believed to be original. It's this kind of level of care you've always wanted in a vintage pickup, and now you can pick up this loaded example at an exceptional price.The turquoise on this pickup does a great job of representing its era well, and the original shade of Wimbledon White is retained on the roof for a premium two-tone appearance. Of course the shining condition tells us there has been a nice investment in erasing decades of going to work. The real proof is in the pickup bed, where someone went the extra mile and straightened every dent, gouge, or mark that shows it ever carried a load, or maybe it never did have a hard life. Either way, now the paint has a straight canvas to showcase its sunny, bright disposition that is an ideal choice for a vintage pickup. But you should expect this level of quality in an upper level Sport Custom package. These carried more trim than some of the Ford cars of the days, and they looked particularly premium directly from the factory. Today all those pieces are still in place and intact, including the wide grille, chrome bumpers, bed rails, and dual trim strips that run the entire length of the pickup. But, there's also no mistaking those upgraded more modern Ford F-Series wheels, which give this pickup distinction without betraying its lineage.There has been a nice investment in keeping this interior in its period-correct premium as it came from the factory. The seats, door panels, floor matting, and dash pad are all rich and black, which means anything that wasn't up to the right standard was replaced. But more than just well-presented, this pickup is still everyday comfortable. Wide enough for three across seating, the cab is surprisingly spacious, even in this age of extended and crew cab pickups. Door panels have the premium padded vinyl that match the rest of the interior, and have an armrest for long haul comfort. The simple but easy-to-read gauges are arrayed ahead of the driver, and seem to be in original condition, as well as the factory steering wheel. In fact, this pickup has a nice original feel right down to the provisions for factory air nicely presented with a walnut trim pattern.The original numbers-matching 360 cubic-inch V8 looks great under the hood with its big blue block, proper blue " Ford" valve covers, and even the blue air cleaner (yes, we know it does fib a little with the 390 designation, but we can forgive it in a pickup that already looks so authentic.) The best part of all is that the 63,892 miles are believed to be actual if so, that's less than 1,500 miles averaged annually. The optional larger V8 means a sweeter rumble out of the dual exhaust, and it offers extra pulling power if you want to use this vintage Ford to tow the toys. But even just as a cruiser, this pickup is quite appealing. With a three-speed automatic, twin I-beam front suspension, power steering, and modern Michelin tires, this F-100 Sport Custom is quite comfortable on the country lanes.Complete with owner's manual, this pickup will be the coolest thing to show up everywhere from the boat ramp to the hardware store. And with the money you save on this classic F-100, there will be plenty left in the budget for a whole lot of fun. Call today!!!
