If you’re not too fussed by vintage cars being true to period correctness, why not check out a Hot Rod? These are vehicles that have been customized to a great degree, retaining only a portion of their original persona, but augmenting and enhancing it with modern features. Take this 1927 Ford Hot Rod as a prime example. It’s based on a 1920s Ford, but has been extensively customized into what you see here. With a new engine, modern mechanicals, and some upgrades all over, it’s definitely a head-turner to behold. Plus, it’s got only over 6,300 miles to its name and currently waits in Texas.
This 1927 Ford Hot Rod likely started life as a two-door or Tudor coupe, but it’s so far removed from that previous life that you’d be hard-pressed to see the similarities if you parked a period-correct example right next to it. This vehicle has been chopped, lowered, and rides on a set of black wheels with chrome hubcaps. The rear wheels, in particular, wear meaty tires that are definitely not just for show, but essential if the V8 up front is to gain any meaningful traction when you put your foot down. Other features include podded headlamps, a chrome radiator grille, exposed front suspension componentry, and, of course, an exposed engine bay. The passenger accommodations of this 1927 Ford Hot Rod consist of two low-back seats with black upholstery and lap belts. There’s a Dakota Digital gauge upgrade within the car’s dashboard, an aftermarket steering wheel, and the shifter for the car’s Powerglide transmission. There’s nothing else to distract you from the raw, visceral experience of driving this hot rod, but if you want to add, say, a radio, that’s entirely up to you.
Powering this 1927 Ford Hot Rod is a 5.3-liter LS1 V8 that’s been converted to use a Holley carburetor and an MSD ignition box. The engine is paired with a Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission for that signature hot rod dragster driving experience. A Ford 9-inch rear axle handles power transfer to the road via those meaty rear tires that we told you aren’t just cosmetic, but highly necessary. Also highly necessary is the vehicle’s braking system, which, thankfully, has been upgraded to a 4-wheel disc system.
Never has a car had more of an impact on automotive manufacturing processes than Henry Ford’s famous Model T. It wasn’t his first car, but it was the one that mobilized not only Americans, but the world. Made between 1908 and 1927, the Model T sold over 15 million units. Its record would not be surpassed until the Volkswagen Beetle many decades later. Another interesting fact is, as the Model T’s production processes were streamlined and optimized, the price of the car actually reduced! For example, a Model T cost US$825 in 1908 for the Runabout variant, with the Touring being priced at $850. By 1924, when this 1924 Ford Model T Touring was released, the Runabout was priced at $265! Being a Touring, this car would have cost a little more, but definitely less than $300. Isn’t that amazing? This particular car appears to have undergone a full restoration which is necessary when you consider that it’s over 100 years old! Now, it’s available in Longmont, Colorado.

Henry Ford revolutionized motoring for millions of Americans with the Model T. No, we’re not exaggerating, around 15 million were made during its 1903-1927 production run. As well as providing cheap and convenient transport to the masses, the Model T also brought about the modern automotive assembly line as we know it. Thanks to the ingenuity of Henry Ford and his engineers, the price of a Model T steadily fell, rather than rose, as the years rocked on. Today, you can still find a Model T, such as this 1926 Ford Model T which is for sale with some extra parts and manuals included. So, if you want the ultimate vintage car, and something that will truly make you appreciate how far the American automobile has come in the past century or so, this car is the place to start. It’s also perfect for showing your digital-device-toting kids what the past was like well before the word computer became mainstream.
What have we got here? Is it KITT, then? Well, not quite. It’s the exact model of Shelby Mustang used for the 2008 reboot of Knight Rider – the GT500KR. Contrary to belief, KR actually means King of the Road. It’s a term that pays homage to the original 1968 GT500KR, a fearsome, Cobra Jet toting machine. Today’s 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR features a supercharged Modular V8 under the hood to really get your pulse racing. In case that isn’t enough, this 1,400-mile machine from Iowa also has the Shaker 1000 audio system, Shelby GT500KR forged wheels and even a carbon fiber rear spoiler and front splitter. You’d better not waste any time, then. Only 1,712 units were made, by the way.
From the vintage first-generation F-Series of 1948 to today’s fourteenth generation, Ford’s famous family of pickup trucks is a success story for books, case studies and more. It’s redefined the bar for a pickup truck countless times, and even caught the attention of Carroll Shelby. Even though the great man is no more, there are Shelby F-150s around, like this current-generation 2023 Ford F-150 Shelby from Yucalpa, California. With just 12,500 miles on the clock and a V8 under the hood, this could be the ideal half-ton truck for someone with a family who needs the versatility of a pickup. Join us as we take you through its essence, but if you want to look no further, just get in touch ASAP.
This 1969 Ford Bronco Restomod combines the iconic styling of the first-generation Bronco with modern performance and thoughtful upgrades that improve comfort and usability. Finished in white with a black interior and a contrasting black removable hardtop, the truck maintains the classic early Bronco aesthetic while benefiting from a fully modern drivetrain. Power comes from a 5.0L Gen 3 Coyote V8 producing approximately 480 horsepower, paired with a 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission and a capable 4x4 drivetrain. With its blend of vintage design and contemporary mechanicals, this Bronco delivers significantly improved performance and drivability compared to the original while retaining the character that made these early SUVs so desirable.
Now here’s a hot rod that’s true to the term to a tee. This 1934 Chevrolet Coupe Hot Rod may have started life off as a Chevrolet Standard when it was new, but it’s now been customized to such an extent, that scant little of its previous life exists. Chevys and Fords from the 1920s and 1930s are extremely popular as hot rod platforms because of their appearance, construction and ease of turning into something truly artistic. This particular car is now up for grabs in Port St. Lucie, Florida and packs a massive 502ci Chevy Big Block under the hood…well, what of the hood is left, because the engine is now partially exposed for all and sundry to see. The car rocks an autobox, rear-wheel drive and has just 20,000 miles on it.
Ford’s Model A was tasked with taking over the mantle from the wildly popular Model T. Introduced for the 1927 model year, it indeed had a yeoman task ahead, which it admirably tackled and conquered. In just five years, over 4.8 million units found homes. They were made in a variety of body styles including two-door (Tudor) saloons, four-door (Fordor) saloons, station wagons, coupes, taxicabs, delivery vans, convertibles and more. Today, these vintage Fords have found a niche as restomod platforms, as well as of course, the finely-restored true-to-original form vehicles. This 1928 Ford Model A Tudor Hot Rod is of the former, and it’s available in Panama City Beach, Florida. With just under 41,000 miles on it, this car comes with air conditioning, an automatic gearbox, a 350ci V8 and more things that make it easier to drive more often.
The 1932 Ford line-up came in, well, 1932, and was offered in various body styles. Naturally, as time passed by, the cars found themselves the subject of resto-modding, and that’s where things get interesting. You see, the vintage styling of these old Fords, paired with their platform and ease of customization meant that they would easily become hot rods. Take this 1932 Ford Dearborn Deuce as a prime example. Doesn’t it look like it’s straight out of a Warner Brothers cartoon? In fact, if you grew up in the era of Warner Brothers cartoons, you can almost hear the Looney Tunes theme playing to the background of this car’s photos. But, this car is anything but cartoonish. It’s a fine hot rod that packs a 396ci Big Block bored 30 over to a mammoth 408ci. A Tremec 5-speed manual transmission is tasked with sending power to the rear wheels, yes, you’ve got to know how to drive stick to enjoy this car. Thankfully, its red leather interior with air conditioning and Bluetooth will soon win you over. If you want to take on this beast, it’s got 6,591 miles on the clock and resides in Vacaville, California.
