Unbelievable. This is the word that comes to mind when witnessing such an extraordinary feat, perhaps something that will never be repeated again.
The preservation of two unused F1000 pickup trucks since they left the factory, in 1987 and 1990. In 2024
These vehicles remain as if they were just produced.
In 2023, a video circulated on the internet, showing the transport of these two F1000s from Itapetininga, in the interior of São Paulo, to an unknown location.
The pickup trucks, still with factory tags and in impeccable condition, caught the attention of classic vehicle enthusiasts and collectors.
From then on, the story of these rare specimens began to unravel.
The owner of these F1000s had a singular mission: to keep these vehicles stored and preserved as long as he was alive.
Detran's requirement at the time, at least in the State of São Paulo, to maintain cargo vehicles in their original condition
It was one of the reasons that drove him.
He kept his promise, keeping these trucks in the garage until 2022, when, presumably, they were acquired by the current owner.
