This 1966 Ford F-250 Crown Crew Cab 4×4 is a rare example of a purpose-built heavy-duty truck ordered with both specialized coachwork and Ford’s upscale Custom Cab specification. Unlike the standard fleet-grade bodies typically used for Crown conversions, this truck was built on a F-250 platform and equipped from new with the 81B Custom Cab package, pairing a four-door Crown-built body with Ford’s highest interior trim of the period. A comprehensive, factory-correct restoration was carried out with the singular goal of returning the truck precisely to its original 1966 configuration rather than modernizing or reinterpreting it. The combination of Custom Cab trim, Crown coachwork, faithfully recreated upholstery materials, and original-style factory air conditioning places this truck among the most authentic Crown crew cab F-250s known, supported by Hemmings documentation and minimal mileage since completion.
Exterior and Interior
Finished in its original Caribbean Turquoise, the exterior of this 1966 Ford F-250 retains all Crown-specific structural features, including the four-door crew cab architecture, exposed rear hinges, and shortened bed proportions, presented with correct 1966 paint finish, textures, and detailing. The interior is where this truck distinguishes itself most clearly from other Crown conversions. Rather than a utilitarian fleet interior, it was ordered with the 81B Custom Cab package, featuring a padded dash, full gauge cluster, premium door panels, and enhanced insulation. The seats are trimmed in Medium Green Crush vinyl with Cody-pattern woven inserts that were recreated using original mill patterns to precisely match Ford’s 1966 fabric. Correct hot-stamped Ford logos, factory-style door pockets, color-matched steering wheel and column, and period switchgear complete a cabin that accurately reflects Ford’s premium pickup interior rather than a work-truck specification.
Engine
Power comes from a factory-correct, naturally aspirated 352ci FE V8 rated at 172 net horsepower, paired with a NP435 4-speed manual transmission and a Ford/Spicer divorced two-speed transfer case. A Dana 60 limited-slip rear axle with 4.56:1 gearing provides proper F-250 heavy-duty capability, supported by factory-style leaf springs, drum brakes, and original steering components. Of particular significance is the presence of a correct, original-specification Ford under-dash air-conditioning system, sourced as unused old stock and installed exactly as Ford offered in 1966. Combined with the PTO-driven winch and period-correct driveline components, the mechanical presentation remains faithful to how this Crown-built F-250 crew cab would have been delivered when new.
The 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty XL Crew Cab 4x4 is built around the kind of heavy-duty capability that has made Ford’s Super Duty line a mainstay for towing, hauling, and work use. Showing 37,605 miles, this Agate Black example combines the 6.7L Power Stroke turbo-diesel V8 with four-wheel drive, a 10,000-pound GVWR package, and a 3.31 electronic-locking rear axle. According to the seller, it has also been fitted with a 6-inch lift kit, giving the truck a more aggressive stance and additional ground clearance. Factory equipment including the Power Equipment Group, engine block heater, 110V/400W outlet, SYNC 3, and telescoping heated power mirrors rounds out a specification that blends serious utility with useful everyday features.
The 1968 Ford F-250 Highboy Custom Conventional Cab represents an era when Ford’s heavy-duty pickups were built with uncompromising simplicity and capability.

Showing approximately 67,321 miles, this F-250 retains its factory configuration with no modifications reported since leaving the factory. Powered by a 360ci V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, this Highboy features the desirable 4WD package, Dana 60 rear axle, 4.10 gearing, long bed configuration, and factory/dealer-installed equipment including a grill guard and locking side saddle fuel tanks. Following a documented 2015 body refresh, the truck was refinished in its original Lunar Green color with a matching spray-on bedliner while preserving its classic character.
This 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT is far from your average Super Duty. Showing 107,009 miles, it has been transformed into a purpose-built off-road truck with an extensive list of premium upgrades designed to handle demanding trails, overlanding adventures, and heavy-duty recovery work.

This 1930 Ford Model A Phaeton Hot Rod takes the simplicity of early Ford design and turns it into a traditional open-wheel hot rod with a strong period-inspired attitude. Finished in red over a tan interior, it is powered by a 350ci V8 topped with triple 2-barrel carburetors and paired with an automatic transmission. The chopped top has been removed, leaving a more open profile beneath the tan convertible soft top, while the exposed engine, staggered aftermarket wheels, dropped front axle, and side-exit exhaust give the car the unmistakable stance and mechanical presence enthusiasts expect from a classic hot rod build.
This 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop is the kind of early pony car that gets straight to the point: a compact coupe, a small-block Ford V8, a four-speed manual, and rear-wheel drive. Showing approximately 17,433 miles, this example is finished in Caspian Blue over a black reupholstered interior and keeps the classic Mustang recipe intact while adding just enough personalization to make it feel more driver-focused. The 289ci V8, Hurst shifter, manual gearbox, and clean first-generation styling give it the sort of analog character that makes these cars so enjoyable even decades later.
This 1967 Ford Mustang GTA Restomod takes the classic first-generation Mustang formula and adds a serious catalog of modern performance and comfort upgrades. Showing approximately 301 miles, this example has received an extensive refresh centered around a 347ci Blueprint Engines stroker V8 rated at 440 horsepower, an AOD heavy-duty performance automatic, and a 3.55 Posi-Traction rear differential. Its mechanical upgrades are matched by a thoroughly updated cabin with Procar reclining seats, Dakota Digital instrumentation, Vintage Air, power windows, and a modernized audio system, making this a far more capable and usable take on the original GTA recipe.
This 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod blends the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s Advance-Design pickup with a thoroughly reworked performance-oriented drivetrain and chassis. Finished in Forest Green Metallic over a Black interior, this build is powered by a 6.0-liter LS2 V8 topped with dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors and backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic. Supporting upgrades include 4-wheel disc brakes, a power brake booster, an aftermarket suspension setup, custom wheels, and a wood bed floor with polished metal strips. Inside, the truck mixes vintage simplicity with custom touches such as an aftermarket gauge cluster, dash-mounted display screen, and 3-spoke steering wheel. Showing approximately 754 miles, this 3100 presents as a fresh-feeling restomod with classic truck styling and modernized mechanical hardware.
The 1987 Chevrolet C20 Silverado comes from the final year of the classic square-body generation, giving this truck strong appeal among enthusiasts who prefer the traditional GM pickup formula. Showing 55,322 miles, this example pairs a 454ci V8 with a 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, all wrapped in a period-style brown and tan two-tone exterior. Its Silverado trim, dual fuel tanks, power accessories, and air conditioning make it well equipped for its era, while aftermarket wheels, a wood-grain steering wheel, custom center console, and Kenwood Excelon head unit add a more personalized touch.
This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod Pickup takes the unmistakable Advance-Design shape and gives it the kind of mechanical upgrades that make a classic truck far easier to enjoy today.

Finished in red over a custom black interior with red contrast stitching, it combines a lowered stance, aftermarket wheels, modern cooling, air conditioning, and updated instrumentation with the 3100’s signature rounded-fender styling. The result is a classic Chevrolet pickup with a strong street-rod personality and a much more usable drivetrain than stock.
