Chip Foose began working on automobiles for the family company, Project Design, in Santa Barbara California, when he was only seven!

"The truck's just amazing," says Jeff Taylor, General Sales Manager at Taylor Ford. "It's got 450 hp supercharged, a big 22 inch wheel - just a gorgeous truck."

What makes it even more incredible is that there was only 480 of these trucks made, and Taylor Ford has no. 82 in that series. A highly collectible truck, it was made even more valuable when Hollywood regular Foose was recently in Moncton. The star of Overhaulin' on TLC and headliner at the recent Atlantic Nationals Car Show, he actually drove this truck for a week! It's even autographed by this world-renowned hot rod shop owner, automotive designer/fabricator and TV star.

"It's one of a kind obviously, now that Chip Foose has signed it," says Taylor. "He signed the dash and both headrests. We're extremely excited about this vehicle that we are displaying in the showroom."

Chip Foose loves the Ford F-150 Foose Edition so much he owns four of them, nos. one, two, three and five - and no. 82 was just as special. Anyone would fall in love with this extraordinary vehicle, designed with a classic hot rod spirit.
