When it comes to practicality, it’s hard to beat the good old pickup truck. A symbol of ruggedness, utility, and preparedness, if you own anything with a cargo bed, you’ll know how many times you’re asked to help out with transportation-related errands. But while many pickups live and die as workhorses, there are few that get lovingly restored to become true works of art. “A work of art” is the best way to describe this 1940 MY Ford Pickup restoration, which has undergone extensive work to preserve this timeless slice of automotive heritage. The restoration work carried out on this pickup includes a complete respray and a newly upholstered interior.
Although built to lead a life of hard work, few trucks have been made that could challenge the 1940 Ford Pickup for design beauty. The already elegant styling has been enhanced with a new paint job, which the owner reports was carried out in 2023. The restoration efforts also included all new glass parts and new lights. The grey exterior is perfectly set off by the wheels, which feature chrome hubcaps with whitewall tires. Finally, the truck’s bed floor has been newly refitted with wood. The cabin has been refreshed with a newly upholstered light grey interior. The bench seat has been sourced new, while the headliner has also been redone. A large four-spoke steering wheel is in place, behind which sits a bank of new VDO gauges that monitor vital parameters, including road speed, water temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel levels.
Under the expansive hood is a 221ci Flathead V8 motor. The engine itself is a sight to behold, with the simple and uncomplicated bay featuring plenty of chrome ancillaries. The V8 delivers power to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission that has been sourced from a 1995 Ford Mustang. The 1940 Ford Pickup features a floor-mounted shifter, while for maximum load-carry capabilities, the rear end features a solid axle with leaf springs.

The original Ford Bronco is always a popular classic here at Exotic Car Trader, and for good reason. The Bronco combined good looks with amazing off-road performance and has developed a cult following. But we’d wager you haven’t seen a Bronco quite like this: Say hello to the 1970 Ford Classic Electric Bronco by Zero Labs. As the name implies, it’s what we like to call an “electromod.” That is, the original drivetrain has been swapped out for an all-electric one! This 1970 Ford Classic Electric Bronco features two electric motors—one for each axle—giving it four-wheel drive and a range of over 235 miles. To keep up with the upgraded drivetrain, the rest of the vehicle has been meticulously restored, with new parts installed and an upgraded interior while retaining the classic looks of the original car.
While Shelby’s hugely celebrated association with the Ford Mustang is known to everyone, what happens when the famed tuning company turns its attention to something a bit different? Predictably, it was a roaring success, not least because Shelby American focused on doing what it does best—making iconic Fords just that much more special. With the Ford F-150, Shelby went the extra mile with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 that produces a mind-bending 770 hp. If that’s not impressive enough, wait until you delve into the performance specifics of this incredible machine.
If there’s one thing the classic Ford Bronco community is known for, it's their diverse aftermarket community. From concourse-level restorations to LS-swapped restomods, we’ve seen them all — and that includes several EV conversions, too. So it’s good to see the same custom spirit being kept alive with the modern reincarnation of the Ford Bronco nameplate. This 2023 Ford Bronco Big Bend 4x4 is the perfect example, having been extensively modified by the team at SoFlo Jeeps. SoFlo Jeeps’ extensive customization work features their signature Kevlar armor coating. You’ll also find upgrades to many exterior and interior areas, while this 5,300-mile-old Ford Bronco also sports a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine under the hood.
While Ford had the legendary Bronco, General Motors was backing their own iconic horse in the full-size SUV category of the ‘70s. It fielded their ever-popular Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy models. By 1975, the Jimmy was into its second generation. Known as the “Rounded Line” or “Square Body” generation, these models were available in both two and four-wheel drive and were closely related to the Chevrolet C/K trucks. The classic styling of this generation of Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmys is loved by fans of old-school offroaders. It's where good looks, functionality, and off-road prowess all converge at one intersection. Our featured 1975 GMC Jimmy High Sierra 4WD has been lovingly upgraded for life in the 21st century, with many new parts and subtle improvements made along the way. It features a 350ci V8 engine with 65,000 miles on it.
The Land Rover Defender is a legendary piece of machinery; it was built on the battlefield and for many is still the best tool for getting a job done, be it a spot of farming or off-roading in style. Present today is this 1998 Land Rover Defender 110; this off-road powerhouse has been imported from Italy and has a reported 180,200 miles on its clock and can be your trusted off-road partner today!
