1974 Ford F-100 Is Absolutely Picture Perfect

Beyond Belief

If you want to buy a nice '70s Ford truck, you have plenty of choices out there at the moment. The massive popularity of these trucks has them rising in value, which of course means that plenty of folks are more willing to part ways with them. But no matter how nice those trucks may be, they'll have a hard time holding a candle to this 1974 F-100 we found over at Mecum Auctions. 

Mind Blowing

The simple act of looking at this truck is mind-boggling. Mostly because it's so incredibly nice for something that's completely original. But that's to be expected from a one-owner pickup with an insanely low 9,324 original miles.

Carefully Stored

Supposedly, this Ford F-100 was stored away under blankets for many years, the interior always covered as well. It remained that way from the day it was purchased new by the original owner. And they kept it until this past spring.

Deja Vu

Which would also explain the amazing condition of the interior. Everything you see, from the carpet to the seats, is completely original. And it's enough to make anyone around back in the early '70s have instant deja vu.

Truly Special

Thus, we're inclined to believe the incredibly low mileage on this F-100 is indeed correct. This is also a pretty well-optioned pickup, with Ranger XLT trim, power steering, and even the trailer special package.

Basic Maintenance

The 2nd owner has done some basic maintenance work to ensure this old pickup runs right, however. That includes installing new brakes, reconditioning the radiator, cleaning the fuel system, and replacing the ages-old tires.

Worth Preserving

The exhaust needed a replacement as well, so that was taken care of, too. But all of this work was done with correct replacement components. Clearly, this short bed F-100 is something worth preserving, so we're glad someone focused on exactly that.

All the Right Stuff

Heck, it even has a 390 under the hood, not some lesser engine. And it's backed up by an automatic transmission and 3.50 rear gears. Thus, this short-wheelbase, two-wheel drive pickup is probably pretty darn fun to drive, too.

Empty Your Piggy Banks

Cover it all in a gorgeous shade of Midnight Blue Poly paint, and it's hard to imagine a nicer package. We look at so many Ford trucks that it's oftentimes hard to be truly impressed. But this stunning '74 has us emptying the piggy bank.

Worth Every Cent

And we're guessing that's exactly what we/you'll need to do. This gorgeous Ford F-100 doesn't figure to go very cheap. But on the other hand, it deserves every dollar that somebody's willing to plunk down to own it!
