Prepare yourself, enthusiasts of vintage trucks. The upcoming Newport Car Museum event on September 30, 2023, hosted by Spellman Signature Auctions, will showcase a remarkable 1966 Ford F-100 Custom Pickup that is bound to leave you in awe. This truck has been transformed into the epitome of restomod style, combining timeless charm with cutting-edge technology.
Originally sporting a white exterior and equipped with a 6-cylinder engine, this particular F-100 underwent an extensive overhaul. Spearheaded by Steven Benner, the mastermind behind this project, the restoration was completed in 2022. Gone are its original specifications as it now boasts a supercharged 5.4L V8 borrowed from an F-150 Lightning and paired with a state-of-the-art 4R100 automatic transmission.
The bodywork alone required an investment exceeding $40,000 and has been expertly coated in Porsche Gray Black paint—a stunning choice indeed. To further enhance its visual appeal, custom features such as LED Halo headlights have been added along with a roll pan replacing the rear bumper and Rocket Racing Attack titanium machined forged wheels—giving this pickup an unmistakable flair.
