This truck certainly has the right flair for the understated dramatic.

When it comes to restomods, there are usually two different approaches. One is to boost performance well beyond the original limits, making the vehicle a go-fast machine. The other is to go for opulence in customized design and luxury. It’s rare that both come together without watering down one or the other, but that’s exactly what you get with this 1956 Ford F100. Yes, this truck is what dreams are made of. Even better, Carlisle Auctions is giving you the opportunity to own it. Plus, you can use an exclusive promo code for a discount on Carlisle Events Fall Admission, CE1.

First off, that Indigo Blue exterior makes a lasting impression. The lowered stance, contoured bumpers and running boards, shaved door handles and cowl vents, intro West Coast custom alloy wheels, and all-steel body together are an eye-catching combination. Once you spot the bed you’ll be hooked, thanks to the Birds Eye maple paired with custom bed strips, outshining the competition in glorious fashion.

Peek inside the cab and you’ll find Saddle leather seats plus matching door panels and carpeting. The factory dash has been painted to match the exterior, while a Digital Dakota gauge cluster is a reminder of the modern elements in this truck.

While there’s certainly a proven show quality for this Ford pickup, which has won best of show multiple times and was eve featured on the cover of the LMC catalog, it also can go in a hurry. There’s a fresh 347ci Stroker V8 under the hood, hooked up to a built AOD automatic transmission with a shift kit. Maximizing the setup are Trick Flow heads, FAST electronic fuel injection, Ford Motorsport ceramic headers, and Flowmaster mufflers.
