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.
Some classic cars aren't always for the faint of heart; exotic models require specialist attention, while others need a helping hand with parts. But that's not true of everything. Some classics don't dent your finances and, in rare cases, can even be used on a daily basis. Present today is one of those rare cases, and it takes shape with this lovely 1989 Ford F-150. This classic truck is an excellent example of Ford's legendary F series trucks and is reported to have seen a full restoration to ensure more time behind the wheel or serve as the centerpiece to your classic car collection.
Ford and Shelby American have a long-standing history of collaboration: be it the LeMans-winning GT40, the iconic Shelby Mustang GT500, or any of their other creations — when you see the Blue Oval and the Shelby logo together, you know you’re in for something special. So when Shelby decided to offer their own take on Ford’s most popular pickup, success was almost guaranteed from the get-go. The 2018 Ford F150 Shelby Super Snake is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 with a supercharger that produces a mind-bending 755 hp. If that’s not impressive enough, just wait until you delve into the performance specifics of this incredible machine.
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.

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.
