1 of 5000! Ford Centurion C150. According to Wikipedia Michigan based Centurion would start with a Crew Cab F150 or F350 pickup, on which they shortened the wheelbase to 140 inches (3,600 mm) and applied a Bronco rear end.

Early models used fiberglass rear body parts but later these were made from steel. The C150 C350 continued to be offered until the Bronco's demise in 1996.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

This $5500 C150 rocks a brand numbian 351 engine, fresh rubber and a chrome bull bar. (The period correct flim'tastic aluminum roof rack would be the first thing I would remove if I were pulling the trigger on this hens tooth.)

While most of the paint appears serviceable the headlight valence shows tell tale traits of primer failure (Common for cars from this era). My guess is that the paint covering the roof over the cab looked similar until is was sprayed with a bed liner like substance.

This is exactly how my powerstroked C150 would look....

Happy Sunday!

Centurions aren't THAT rare, but they are cool.

You found my trucks little brother! Mine is an '89 C350 4x4 with a 460.

I don't think you'll ever find a nice original paint Centurion...they were painted by the conversion company, so it was never even factory quality. The seam between the truck cab and Bronco back half will have rust at the joint. They left the factory with hideous welds and tons of bondo.

nice price if the underside isn't full of rust holes. Always loved these trucks. The unicorn is the c250 with the Diesel engine.

Bird!

I love your picture of the C350 at the shipping terminal. (My secret hide out over looks the first Port in Portland) I never get tired of the boat traffic or the 4 mountain view.

(Seam between the Cab and Bronco Bed aside) If this C150 lived it's entire life in Washington rust will not be a concern. The climate in the Pacific Northwest is known for it's ability to preserve automobiles :)
