NFI Empire
10120 W Main Rd
North East, PA 16428
This 1949 Ford F1 panel van combines classic design with modern upgrades. The current owner has had it since the early '90s, and under his ownership it has undergone significant changes. The original flathead V8 engine has been replaced with a 305, and the manual transmission has been swapped for an automatic, modernizing the driving experience. The interior now sports a brand-new digital gauge cluster that matches the newly installed steering wheel, adding a contemporary touch while retaining its vintage charm.
The van rides on coil-overs with suspension components sourced from a Mustang, providing improved handling and a smoother ride compared to the original setup. The exterior maintains the iconic look of the post-war era, with the panel van's distinctive front end and practical enclosed body, reflective of its historical role as a versatile work vehicle. Today, this F1 panel van stands as a blend of 1940s utility and modern performance, appealing to both classic enthusiasts and those who appreciate a touch of the current era in a vintage package.

While enjoying SEMA it became abundantly clear that most 4X4 and performance vehicles displayed were never going to see the road…on or off! It was also clear that 99% of the population could not afford one of them. Don’t get us wrong, these are some of the most incredible machines you will ever find.
However, NFI wants to offer 4X4 & Performance Vehicles to be both admired and used.
Our team has been significantly improving every aspect of Jeeps, 4WD’s, & performance vehicles over the past 20+ years. Our goal is to take that experience and offer extraordinary vehicles at justifiable prices.
