This 1965 Ford F100 was originally purchased new from the Mathiston Motor Co. of Mathiston, Mississippi in 1965. It then stayed with the original owner for the better part of roughly 48 years. Around 2013, the track passed to its second owner, The Mathiston Town Sheriff by the way of a trade. Under his care is when the truck received a repaint in Caribbean Blue under Wimbledon White. It was from him, that I then purchased this fine, old Ford in 2016.The F100 is powered by a 3.9 Litre Straight 6, 240 cu. inch mated to a 3 speed “3 on the tree” transmission. It produces 150 hp from factory and currently shows 115,600 original miles.One interesting and extremely RARE feature this truck has is a Dealer Installed, "Dealer Advertisement Bumper”.It is engraved or stamped as,
“MATHISTON MOTOR CO. - MATHISTON, MISS.”I’ve never come across one previous, as very few were produced, let alone survive. This bumper comes as it originally did from the dealer, in a painted silver. It was one item on the truck I sought to preserve rather than restore. I do however believe it was repainted at one point previous though.The truck is mostly Original, some things have been replaced but everything kept completely Stock and factory correct.
