1971 Ford F-350 Transporter, Registration no. EKH 494J Chassis no. F35YCJ82716
Odometer Reading: 72,000
MoT Expiry: tbc
*Restored in the UK three years ago
*5.7-litre V8, manual transmission
*The IDEAL classic motorsport hauler
In recent years interest in having the right classic transporter has grown, with several books written on the subject and more coverage appearing in classic magazines. For someone who needs to get their competition car to a meeting here is the solution: a 1971 Ford F-350 with 351 cubic inch (5.7-litre) V8 and manual gearbox. Our vendor says the bodywork is very good, the paint, glass, wheels and tyres good. The interior remains generally good throughout. The engine starts and runs well and the underbonnet area is tidy, while the drivetrain has very good gearbox, clutch and axles and good suspension and brakes. There is some history.
Interest in classic transporters continues to grow and for the competitor wanting to stand out in the pits, this F-350 is just the thing. With V8 and manual gearbox this well-presented hauler is certainly worthy of closer inspection. Trade vendor.
