What is a Resto-mod? The resto-mod is a relatively recent phenomenon in the collector-car world. These new cars mix old and new technology to create the best of both worlds, matching classic styling with modern comfort, performance, and reliability. This is a turnkey truck! I have been daily driving it all summer and fall. The stock Crown Victoria gauges are functional but hidden behind the original F-100 gauge cluster. (To appear stock for car shows) A Bluetooth OBD-2 reader can be used with a smart phone as a gauge cluster. (this is what I do) Drivetrain: 4.6L V-8 engine with duel exhaust, 4 speed automatic transmission.Runs and drives great with 180,xxx miles.Suspension: Independent front suspension. New front end parts include: shocks, pitman arm, idler arm, sway bar end links, as well as new lower ball joints. Front end was aligned 2 weeks ago.
