Description
This 1971 Ford F-100 Sport Custom was utilized as a track maintenance vehicle for Islip Speedway in Long Island, New York, and is said to have remained in service until the speedway’s closure in 1984. The speedway was famous for being the smallest track to host NASCAR’s Grand National Series, and the first demolition derby was hosted there in 1958. This 302-powered truck was believed to have been used to clean the track following events as well as participating in the removal of disabled vehicles. The beige exterior features hand-painted Islip Speedway script, while the cab has signatures from various racers and employees of the racetrack. Following the Speedway’s closure, the truck is said to have spent time in a private collection, from which it was acquired by the selling dealer. Previously offered on BaT in July 2026 , this bumpside F-100 is now offered again in New York at no reserve with a 1/48 scale model, cleaning equipment, Islip memorabilia, Demolition Derby shirts, and a New Jersey title. The truck is finished in beige and features hand-painted Islip Speedway script on the sides as well as a Styleside bed, a Klaxon horn, a rear step bumper, and dual exhaust outlets that exit ahead of the rear wheels. The seller tells us that the driver’s window was repaired in preparation for the sale. The left headlight is crooked, rust damage is present throughout, and the vent windows have been covered. Photos further detailing the condition of the truck have been provided in the gallery.
