Since 1948, Ford’s F-Series lineup of pickup trucks has been an American institution, and continues to this day with the fourteenth generation. Few model lineups can boast such a long production run, making the F-Series a crucial part of American automotive history. Each generation brought something new to the table. This seventh generation 1981 Ford F-100 is thus worthy of your consideration, as it’s tastefully restomodded, comes with 89,200 miles, and a nice surprise under the hood.
Wearing a very prominent red paintwork, you will spot this 1981 Ford F-100 even if you park it in a sea of pickup trucks. Rolling on a set of five-spoke black Ridler alloy wheels with silver accents only enhances its distinctiveness. The body looks straight, the paintwork looks neat, the light lenses look clear, what more could you ask for? There’s also a little Cobra badge on the side flanks, and we will get to that in due course. The owner reports dual side exit exhausts but they appear to be hidden and not easily noticeable. The interior seats two occupants on a set of low-backed seats with red and black RIXXU covers. There’s a full set of instruments, including the 85-mph speedometer that was mandated at the time, and an aftermarket rev counter takes center stage. This is another hint that the powertrain isn’t stock, although the most glaring hint is the chromed Hurst gear stick topped with a white Hurst gear knob. The windows are roll-down units, the ventilation system controls remain in the dash, but the entertainment has been upgraded with a Sony double DIN sized unit that brings Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities to this Eighties truck.
Typically, a seventh generation F-Series truck would come with a variety of V6 and V8 engines, as well as a V8 diesel from International Harvester. However, this 1981 Ford F-100 eschews all that for a 1986 302ci (5.0L) Mustang Cobra V8. Now you understand the Cobra badges on the side flanks! In 1986, this engine was rated for 200hp and 285lb-ft so let’s assume that’s what is sent to the rear wheels of this truck via a 5-speed manual transmission as reported by the owner.
The Ford F-Series came in 1948, and has continued uninterrupted to this day. Fourteen generations have been made, and it’s one of the longest-running nameplates in American automotive history. This 1956 Ford F-100 comes from the second generation of the series and has been subjected to a full frame-off restoration effort. With a rebuilt V8 and plenty of attention paid to bring it to near-factory condition, this is a great classic truck for the discerning collector, as well as first-time collector alike. Since it’s seen just 328 miles of driving post-restoration, you’ll basically be its first owner, in a way!
This 1962 Ford F100 Custom Restomod represents the culmination of a meticulous four-year, ground-up build that blends vintage styling with modern performance and craftsmanship. A complete frame-off restoration ensured every detail was addressed, resulting in a truck that is both a showpiece and fully functional. It has won numerous awards, including an NSRA Safety 23 Certificate, and was never transported to events or shows via trailer. Featuring a custom-built chassis from Scott’s Hotrods and Customs, high-performance drivetrain components, and a stunning beige and bronze exterior paint scheme, this F100 is a unique example of restomod excellence. A detailed photo build book, along with receipts and documentation, accompanies the vehicle.
When you think of vehicles that have moved a nation and created significant impact in their respective industry its hard to look past the Ford F-100. For years the humble American truck has been the symbol of perseverance, trust and the American spirit. The current marketplace for Ford F-100’s features a twist – classic examples can take two different journeys, some prefer to build and deck their trucks with the latest aftermarket features and some prefer things the old fashioned factory way. Present today is the latter and takes form with this 1968 Ford F-100 we have today. With a reported 17,000 miles on the clock, this '60s beauty is the perfect classic motor that can also serve as a practical way of getting about.
When you see the iconic Shelby branding and cobra motif on a Mustang, you know that the outfit formed by the legendary Carroll Shelby has been working their magic. For decades, Shelby Mustangs have ruled the tracks and drag strips, showing what a Mustang can be turned into when given suitable performance modifications. Shelby works with Ford and hence you can consider these to be factory-endorsed machines. In fact, the fifth generation, from which this 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible hails, was sold by Ford. This car has got only 9,000 miles on it, making it a superb buy for a Mustang aficionado. It’s also a fantastic future investment and a definitive classic in years to come.
Ford’s popular F-Series that is available today and in the fourteenth generation, was born in 1948. It was aimed at mobilizing American small businessholders, farmers and those engaged in trade. For the first generation, the range started with the F-1 which was a half-ton pickup truck. It had a 6.5-foot cargo bed, and sat at just 189 inches long; shorter than many full-size luxury cars of today. Over time, the F-1 has become a cherished classic and a symbol of American freedom – because it allowed you to take your family to market, with your goods for sale in the truck bed. This particular 1950 Ford F-1 Custom Build is a little different, as it’s a restomod with a host of upgrades. Residing in California and having just 13,367 miles since its rebuild, this truck is ideal for someone who wants classic style tastefully combined with modern features and performance.
