It all started when Capital Cruise organizers called Derek Bieri.I got the call to be a grand marshall, which is an honor to say the least, Bieri said.WATCH: COULD BE YOURS: Derek Bieri restores 1971 Ford F-100 for Capital Cruis e COULD BE YOURS: Derek Bieri restores 1971 Ford F-100 for Capital CruiseHe wanted to take things a step further.So I pitched building a one-of-one vehicle, which is this 1971 Ford F-100, Bieri said. Its about saving the story of the car itself. And just getting them back into the right peoples hands, Bieri said.Bieri restored the car in about 3 days. The previous owner happened to place a Chevy engine under the Fords hood.So I affectionately call it the C-100, which is a play on the Chevrolet C-10, their half-ton series trucks, Bieri said.The truck will be auctioned May 29 at 7 p.m. before heading to the Cruise. Bieri said all the proceeds will benefit Tulsas Mayfest.Bieri estimates his restoration career spans several thousand cars. Each comes with its own challenges, such as finding all the old-school knick-knacks.Some of the stuff, like the cluster, and the small trinkets, and knobs, and like, finding the correct ashtray handle, its a hunt to find the little parts and pieces and things like that, you know? Some of the stuff you have to make yourself, Bieri said.Bieri drove it to Tulsa from Nashville with no issues.Stay in touch with us anytime, anywhere -- 2 News Oklahoma on your schedule | Download on your TV, watch for free. How to watch on your streaming device Download our free app for Apple, Android and Kindle devices.
