THE MOTOR CAR OFFERED

This highly original example displays an amazing patina aged into what appears to be the original Boxwood Green paint. Mileage is indicated to be just over 54,000 and is believed to be actual mileage from new. The bench seat is still covered in its original green vinyl, only worn on the driver's side, otherwise in nice shape. According to the accompanying Marti report, This Ford F100 Sport Custom was sold October 31st, 1969 through Fosston Motors of Fosston, Minnesota, optioned with a 360 V8 engine coupled to a New Process 435 4-speed manual gearbox, finished in Boxwood green with green vinyl Sport Custom Bench seat and power steering. From what we can tell, the truck was purchased by its second owner, in about 1974, a city planner in Helena, Montana, where it was used lightly, as its new owner preferred the use of his city truck for the majority of his needs. After many years of minimal use, the truck sat parked for a number of years. A couple years ago, the truck was acquired by a local Helena mechanic, who then proceeded to revive this wonderful truck back to on the road status. It was purchased shortly after by another Helena resident, who collects low mileage and original condition classic trucks. This F100 has proven to be a road worthy classic truck, having been driven to Monterey car week from Southern California and back, without any troubles and garnered attention from folks on the highway throughout the drive.

This excellent Sport Custom would work well for any task from a weekend cruiser to vineyard work horse. Most recently, the truck has benefited from a recent tune up, including fluid and filter changes, ignition system, water pump and a complete set of new tires including a spare making it ready for further adventures with its next caretaker.
