A friend recently came across this vintage Ford near San Jose, CA. After asking around it looks like about 50 of these Walker Evans special edition trucks were built by Dick Landfield for Ford to sell at dealerships in 1977. Walker Evans raced a Ford for part of 1977 before signing his deal with Dodge in 1978.
This 1977 Walker Evans edition Ford is restored and looks amazing. These photos are courtesy of the previous owner from their Flickr page. She said they sold it about a year ago to someone in Ohio.
Hello Curtis, Im the person that restored the one in the other photos. I was wondering if your buddy bought the truck in san jose or if he knows if its forsale or possible were it was and i could go by and try to buy it thanks
He hasn’t bought it and I don’t know if he ever got in contact with the owner. I will try to find out. Great job on the other truck you restored!
Hey Steve,
I ran across this site looking for pictures of this truck because my dad bought one of these back in the early eighties from a marine who was stationed in CA. The truck is in my possession and has been repainted and the roll bars and safety equipment removed, but I am going to restore it and wondered if you had anymore info on these? My dad bought it being told that it was raced in a baja event driven by an Unser. I remember there being stickers on the bottom of the door panels indicating that it was driven by Bobby Unser I think.
Hello Shaun, I just ran across your request an email for any information on the Walker Evans addition mint 400 truck that you inherited from your father happy to help you with any info that I have I don’t have any parts for it but the one I had on was quite original if I can help with anything be happy to just let me know thank you Steve

Hello, My name is Gerald Bogan. I was the owner of this truck before it was towed while I was recovering from medical issues. Today is July 31, 2022 and I been looking for this truck since 2013. Now that I stumbled across it, I’m heart broken. I would like the opportunity to try and get it back. I can see the First window nets are still in it and maybe the shoulder harnesses also. There was no carpet or tailgate. Hated to loose it when I did. Didn’t think I’d ever see it again. Please call me at 408-832-3852 or email at gb048@aol.com.
One other thing, I drove this vehicle in and around the San Jose, Ca area for over 25 years.

I recognize this truck from around town.
I’ve seen it a number of times, though its been years since the last sighting. If these pics are recent, then its still local. I’ll leave a note for the owner if/when I see it again.
I just wanted to say, the restoration looks great!
Please send me any information if you know anyone selling a Walker Evans limited edition.
Thank you,
I have this exact truck and it’s for sale. Feel free to contact me at 937-307-6972
