Restored 1953 Ford F100 50th Anniversary Edition Pickup

1953 Ford F100 50th Anniversay Edition Pickup Red/Red interior. Only 48K original miles since new! Never hit, in an accident, or rust compromised. The internals of its 6 cylinder 91 HP engine purr and complete "three on a tree" manual trans and driveline are original and unmolested. Trans and clutch are tight and shifts well. Frame up restoration to show like condition. This is not a "restomod" Frankenstein vehicle. It is far more rare and special than that. This is a restored to better than original condition testimonial to the way things used to be circa 1953.
Current owner has had it since 1993 when it had 43K miles upon his acquisition of it. Have pictures of the restoration process upon request. Everything works, including the original factory heater. Engine compartment is gorgeous. No issues vehicle, just drive and enjoy all the passersby attention.The front grille was replaced during the restoration with the V8 version, this is the only incorrect item on the vehicle.
The 1953 model year is historically significant in that it is the first year of the newly introduced F100 model and this truck is also the 50th Anniversay Commemmorative Edition of the Ford Motor Company. This is evidenced by the Commemorative 50th Anniversary steering wheel hub. Current owner is ready to pass this treasure of Ford history to its next caretaker. It drives as good as it looks-- and if you are looking for a jewel of an antique Ford truck-- your search is over.
Seller is motivated for a quick sale and has priced it below market value accordingly.
Truck is located in West Orange, NJ and can be test driven upon appointment.
