Description

Vehicle Specs

This 1952 Ford F-1 Resto-Mod is a stunning combination of classic postwar pickup design and modern street rod performance. Carefully restored and thoughtfully upgraded by Carolina Street Rods of Oxford, Florida, this F-1 retains its iconic 1950s silhouette while benefiting from a host of mechanical and cosmetic enhancements that elevate it to show-quality standards. The result is a truck that not only looks incredible but also drives like a much newer vehicle, blending comfort, power, and nostalgia into a single turnkey package.

Under the hood lies a fuel-injected 5.0-liter Ford V8 engine, paired with a BBK SSI intake manifold and tubular headers that breathe through a custom dual exhaust system. The aluminum radiator keeps things cool even in summer traffic, while the electronic fuel injection system ensures smooth operation and reliability in all conditions. Power is transferred through a Ford AOD four-speed automatic transmission, delivering overdrive comfort for highway cruising. A limited-slip differential rounds out the drivetrain, offering better traction and confident cornering.

The exterior is finished in a brilliant metallic copper that highlights every curve of the F-1's classic body lines. The finish shows excellent depth and luster, complimented by bright chrome trim, polished accents, and body-color steel wheels with chrome hubcaps wrapped in BFGoodrich Silvertown wide whitewall tires. The stepside bed is a showpiece in itself, featuring stained wood slats with polished cargo runners and a cleverly integrated polished fuel filler mounted in the bed floor. Altogether, the truck's presentation is both aggressive and elegant, and it makes a statement whether parked or in motion.

Inside, the two-tone interior offers a clean, updated look while paying tribute to the original design. A custom dashboard integrates built-in air vents for the Vintage Air climate control system, which blows cold and adds modern comfort for those warm-weather drives. A set of aftermarket gauges keeps vital signs visible at a glance, while a Kenwood CD player offers convenient entertainment. The cabin also features power windows, remote-operated doors, and a well-finished steering column, giving the driver modern convenience in a classic package.

Stopping power is handled by four-wheel disc brakes, a crucial safety and performance upgrade that ensures confident braking in all situations. The suspension and steering systems have been updated as well, allowing the truck to handle more like a modern cruiser than a vintage workhorse. Every detail from the clean undercarriage to the tidy engine bay reflects the quality of the build and the pride of ownership.

This 1952 Ford F-1 Resto-Mod is not just a truck—it's a rolling piece of art built to be driven and admired. Whether you plan to take it to local shows, weekend cruises, or simply enjoy its blend of timeless style and modern reliability, it's fully ready to enjoy from the moment it arrives. With its tasteful upgrades, refined craftsmanship, and unmistakable curb appeal, this custom F-1 offers an exceptional opportunity to own a beautifully built classic with street rod credentials.
