1968 Ford F 100 SWB Fleetside 302 V8 Automatic Street Rod Starter Kit offered by Gas Monkey Garage with ***NO RESERVE*** .Ford introduced the F series of truck in 1948 and Americans have been in love with them ever since making them the #1 selling truck in North America (for 24 years the F series was the #1 selling vehicle in the U.S.!) We acquired this nice, solid  example built at the Michigan Truck plant with factory A/C! ( please note the new engine does not have an A/C compressor included but the evaporator and interior blower are present if the winning bidder wants to restore the A/C).The original 300 CID 6 Cyl. Motor was swapped out for a 302 V8 with a Holley Carb and MSD ignition that starts right up and powers the Automatic Transmission smoothly with a solid ride & firm braking. There is an exhaust leak from the installed headers but a brand new set of Headman Headers are included along with a set of new gaskets ( due to our filming schedule we cannot perform any additional work on this truck). The previous owner had it re-painted the original white at some point in the past and reveals a finish that is showing its age with a few nicks, dings & minimal rust. The truck bed was protected by a liner to preserve the original bed at some point in the past with minimal rust (please see pics). The door hinges are tight & solid, the floor is solid as are the cab corners. Underside pics reveal very solid frame, floor, bed & suspension components with minimal rust present (see all pics). The interior is complete needing some love (check out the ventilated seat back?), to allow you to jump in and enjoy  more miles behind the wheel of this Classic Iconic American pickup Truck. This truck runs and drives but should be serviced completely before extended driving due to unknown service history (and due to our filming schedule, we can’t service this truck prior to delivery) Sold as is/where is! If you’re looking for an Original Unmolested example of the Iconic 1968 Ford F100 you won’t find a better example that is priced to sell! Suitable for a Classic Restoration Project, Hot Rod Project and Advertising or Promotional use that you can drive & enjoy just the way it is. This truck will be seen on an upcoming episode of the hit show Fast N Loud! The winning Bidder can pick up the truck here at the shop and hang out, or we can assist with shipping logistics.

“I’ve been obsessed with cars since… I was born.”

Richard Rawlings had a car by age fourteen, and had gone through nearly twenty cars by the time he was out of high school. His father worked three jobs his whole life—two to make ends meet for the family, and one to buy toys. Neither a mechanic nor a fabricator, his father took pride in his car collection. Needless to say, this stayed with Richard.

Rawlings was always working, and always chasing pipe dreams. By twenty-one, he’d been a cop, a fireman, and a medic. But he wanted more. After a rough stint of sleeping on his sister’s couch, he got his act together and entered the world of trading sales. Here he solidified his business savvy, and went on to build an advertising and printing firm from the ground up. The company grew to become a “juggernaut” in the Dallas area. A mere four years later, the company sold, and with that money Gas Monkey Garage was born.

Aaron Kaufman worked at a shop Rawlings frequented, and loved the stuff Rawlings brought in for him. Kaufman always went above and beyond for him. When Gas Monkey opened, Rawlings called him up and asked if he wanted to work for him. The premise was simple: Rawlings wanted the fastest, most expensive, most badass hot rod shop to be found, with apparel and a show on Discovery to boot. Kaufman thought he was crazy, but signed on anyway. Eight years later, the shop is all that and more.

They owe their success to a strict business model. They don’t buy parts—only whole models without too much rust. Owing to his business background, Rawlings has a handle on the market, and knows the price he ought to pay. In ninety days or less, the job will be done, whether they start with a decent model or a carcass. Then it’s onto the next job without hesitation. If a finished car sits too long, Rawlings will sell it at a loss. He’s interested in a killer operation, not a stockpile.

Their roles within the shop are clear. Rawlings is first and foremost an entrepreneur. He wants to sell a style, push a brand, and make sure Gas Monkey Garage never stops growing. Kaufman runs the shop, armed with his mastery of mechanics, electrics, and fabrication. The dynamic is vital, the common ground being their mutual love of classic cars. Rawlings has always been an old soul when it comes to cars, and his style has brought in a steady flow of clientele who trust his no-B.S. methods. “Anyone can go out and buy a Ferrari.” Rawlings’ dream car? “A 1932 Ford Roadster—the holy grail of hot rods.”
