SOLD - $64,000 + BP
MODEL OVERVIEW:
The 1965 Ford F100 represents one of the most enduring and recognisable American pickup trucks of the 1960s, combining rugged utility with the clean, purposeful styling that defined Ford’s fourth-generation F-Series. Built on a strong ladder-frame chassis with twin-I-beam front suspension, the F100 offered durability and improved ride comfort compared with earlier work trucks, making it equally at home on the farm or on the road. Distinctive design cues such as the wide grille with integrated headlights, simple horizontal body lines and the practical Styles gave the truck a clean, functional appearance that has aged remarkably well. Today the 1965 F100 is highly regarded among collectors and custom builders alike, valued for its classic mid-sixties American truck styling, mechanical simplicity and strong aftermarket support.

460 BIG BLOCK V8 – C6 AUTO – 9” LSD - STUNNING TWO-TONE PAINTWORK – SHOW QUALITY FINISH – TURN-KEY STREET MACHINE
A commanding example of classic American truck design, this 1965 Ford F100 delivers unmistakable presence, enhanced by serious big-block performance and high-quality custom build features. An Australian-delivered right-hand drive example, it has been professionally upgraded throughout to create a turn-key vehicle that blends vintage styling with modern usability. Finished in striking Black over Cherry two-tone paintwork and complemented by a custom interior, this F100 stands as a highly refined and attention-grabbing build, equally suited to cruising, events or weekend enjoyment.
DRIVELINE
At its core is a formidable Ford 460ci big block V8 with quality upgrades including electric water pump and electronic ignition. Paired with a C6 automatic transmission, the combination provides strong, smooth and reliable performance, equally suited to relaxed cruising and effortless acceleration. Power is delivered through a Ford 9-inch rear end fitted with a 3.5 ratio limited-slip differential, providing both durability and responsive, usable gearing.
Supporting the driveline is a comprehensively upgraded suspension package, featuring professionally lowered springs and aftermarket strengthened I-Beams. This setup significantly refines the vehicle’s dynamics, delivering a far more composed, sedan-like driving experience with improved stability, ride quality and road holding.
Further enhancing usability, the vehicle benefits from an upgraded power steering system along with brake system including front disc brakes, greatly improving steering precision, braking control and overall driver confidence — transforming the F100 into a far more capable and enjoyable classic in any modern driving conditions. Finally a high quality twin stainless exhaust system and large extractors set the tone with the right soundtrack, befitting a classic Big Block F100.
EXTERIOR
Finished in Black over Cherry two-tone paintwork, the exterior presents to an exceptional standard, with excellent panel fit and alignment reflecting the quality of the build. The paint finish is a standout feature, offering impressive depth, clarity and contrast, elevating the truck well beyond typical restorations. The Weld wheels with big rubber give the correct stance. The lockable hardtop lid hides a fully painted rear tub in excellent condition. The result is a visually striking and cohesive presentation that highlights the F100’s iconic lines while delivering a strong and purposeful stance.
INTERIOR
The cabin features a professionally executed custom interior, presented in excellent condition and finished to a high standard throughout. The design is clean, cohesive and well considered, complementing the exterior while enhancing comfort and usability. The upgraded interior environment brings a more refined feel to the vehicle without detracting from its classic character.
