1965 Ford F-100 Caribbean Turquoise Styleside LWB

This is a complete restoration of a 1965 F100-first year of twin I-beam front suspension and the first year of the 300C.I. IL6. It would be very difficult to find a better representation of what a factory fresh 1965 truck offered outside of a museum. It’s really that nice. Initially, vehicle was prepped and painted its factory Caribbean quoise color (Code B) both inside and out. There was minor rust where the front fender bolts to the front radiator mount panel (2-3” section inside the wheel well). That area was chemically arrested and sealed. Upon inspection you will not find any other signs of rust, bad floor pans, rust in the bottom of doors, etc.. It doesn’t exist. Vehicle was painted around 3 years ago. No bubbles or imperfections have surfaced because there aren’t any. Interior trim, lower door panels, front bumper, and front grill were painted . derneath, the vehicle was wire wheeled on both the frame, front end, and under cab and bed. Then, underside was sprayed with a rubberized undercoating. I invite you to beat on anything underneath with a rubber hammer. Bring your magnet or paint thickness gauge and check for bondo. kes were completely replaced from the master cylinder down. New steel and flexible brakes lines, new wheel cylinders, new spring kits, and new brake shoes were installed. New brake drums were replaced on three wheels and the other front drum was turned. cking plates were cleaned and wire wheeled and sprayed with black paint as were brake drums.

The muffler and exhaust are new. Radiator was vatted and rodded and new e coolant installed. Radiator was repainted. All but one coolant line was replaced. The one that wasn’t appeared to have been recently replaced. 300 C.I. factory IL6 motor showed little wear and had 150-155 compression on all cylinders.

The huge 2-part Factory vice manuals and the glove box owner’s manual is included with the sale. A soft vehicle cover from LMC truck is also included with the sale. The truck steers easily, goes down the road straight, and doesn’t pull. ou can release the steering wheel and it tracks straight down the road. It shifts easily, engine revs well, is quiet, and has plenty of power. No rattles-truck is tight. I have approximately $29,000 invested. y of these pictures are older. I need to go and get it out of the garage and shoot some more pictures that capture the new rear bumper and the factory decals that have been installed in the engine compartment. It won a trophy at last year’s car show, but not THE trophy. sily a daily driver or a good investment
