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 Ford Thunderbird has had many forms. Despite being a sporty-looking two-door convertible or coupe, the T-Bird has always focused on luxury and comfort, being described as a “personal luxury car.” Having graduated from the two-seater layout to more of a 2+2 configuration in the late 50s, the third-generation Thunderbird had to bring something new to the table. And that it did, with one of the most recognizable shapes of the Thunderbird’s entire production run. The third-generation Ford Thunderbird also introduced many new innovative features. In addition to luxuries such as power steering and power brakes, the Thunderbird introduced a novel steering wheel that could be swung to the side to aid driver egress and ingress. Our featured 1963 Ford Thunderbird has reportedly undergone a full restoration. While the mileage since the engine rebuild is unknown, the chassis boasts an original 73,000 miles. This classic Ford provides the perfect opportunity to experience one of the most iconic cars of the ’60s.
While all Mustangs are special, when it comes to this car, some are more special than others. The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Hennessey 800 is genuinely a different beast. While the original Mustang Mach One would have left the factory with 480 hp and 420 lb-ft, after it has been reworked by Hennessey, the car outputs a whopping 800 hp and 677 lb-ft of torque. Our featured example has a reported 7,282 miles on the clock and offers buyers a turnkey way to experience a lot of performance. Plus, the car’s authenticity is confirmed when you open the hood, where you’ll find a Serial-Numbered Engine Bay Plaque.

Despite being initially conceived for military use, the original Willys Jeep was clearly destined for a much larger audience. It wasn’t long until a Civilian Jeep (CJ) model was launched, with concepts drawn up even before World War 2 ended. The seventh generation of Jeep, aka the CJ7, is a natural evolution of the original. It retains the battle-proven abilities of its military ancestor but offers a driving experience more suited for the general public. The Laredo trim took that a step higher with more amenities, including improved seats, a tachometer, chrome trim, and special graphics. Our featured car is a Jeep CJ7 Laredo, which has a host of new parts, including a recently rebuilt engine.
