Few marques prove as enduring as Harley Davidson. Since 1903 this manufacturer has dominated North American highways, delivering V-Twin engines and signature Hog styling. It’s survived decades of economic uncertainty, transitioning from the Great Depression of 1929 to the Great Recession of 2007; and its dynamic platforms have made it one of the most popular brands in the world.
No critics claimed surprise, therefore, when Ford announced a partnership with Harley in 2000 - creating a line of F-Series SuperCabs and pairing supercharged engines with customized badging. This fleet of F-150s topped the charts for more than a decade, gaining a loyal following among drivers and cyclists alike.
Now a rare Harley Davidson F-150 is to be auctioned off by the famed Barrett Jackson house!
According to Fox News, comedian Jay Leno recently donated his 2000 F-150 to Barrett Jackson. The pick-up - a 5.4L V8 supercharger, generating 360 HP - was the first of its kind. Its flare-side shape belonged exclusively to Leno for almost an entire year before the Harley Davidson line was officially launched, and it represents a unique moment in the brand’s history.
It’s expected to inspire considerable interest... and considerable cash, with drivers already revving toward the Scottsdale auction site. We wish we could be there. This F-150 is sure to be the showcase of a world-class event - and the bids are going to soar.
