We come across some amazing exotics here at Exotic Car Trader, but when it comes to unique rides, this 1935 Ford Custom Party Bus is up there with some of the most unique creations we’ve listed. Look past the impressively modified body, and you’ll find a project that has benefited from hours of engineering and thousands of dollars in parts. This truly custom build combines parts from Ford, Chevrolet, and several aftermarket providers to create something unique. Whether you’re looking for a vehicle to have some fun around in, or if your business could use something out of the box, this 1935 Ford Custom Party Bus could be the one for you.
There’s really no mistaking this party bus for anything else on the road. This custom-built 1935 Ford is painted in a school bus-esque shade of bright yellow, with a black stripe down the side, and a playful “2 Kool 4 Skool” graphic. The owner reports that the bus’ grille and front bumper have been newly re-chromed, matching the Moto Metal wheels, which come in a staggered configuration: 18 inches on the front and 20 inches on the rear. The wheels are wrapped in brand-new Michelin Defender tires. Naturally, things get a lot more interesting once you step aboard the party bus. This Ford Custom features the dashboard from a 1959 Chevrolet, with a Vintage Air a/c unit, a power driver’s window, and power remote mirrors. Other driver conveniences include a tilt steering wheel and rear-view camera. Passengers, or should we say partygoers, can avail of a host of specially tailored features in the rear section. The interior is all new and fully customized, with storage under the rear seats. There’s a stainless steel sink equipped with running water, as well as a full 1-inch black granite bar with nine custom bottle holders and eight custom aluminum drink holders. Look to the ceiling, and you’ll be enchanted by this 1935 MY Ford Custom Party Bus’ nighttime sky, with its built-in light-up roof. Pierce Arrow lanterns are also mounted above the bar. A Pioneer audio player with Bluetooth capabilities and matching speakers keeps the party going. So, too, do the bus’ chrome dancing pole, four charging outlets, and a built-in Yeti ice chest with a trash can.
While you’d expect a party bus to feature some crazy interior modifications, what you may not expect from this 1935 Ford Custom is what is found under the hood: an engine and powertrain that wouldn’t look out of place in a hot rod, let alone a custom bus. This unique build is powered by a new Chevrolet 350ci crate engine. It features Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection and Holley Hyper Spark ignition with new plug wires. The engine is mated to a GM 700R4 automatic transmission, with a Lo Kar shifter. Braking is courtesy of front disc brakes and an E-Stopp electric emergency brake. The suspension is from a 1984 Chevrolet, while handling the added weight in the rear are new QA1 adjustable shock absorbers. A 16-inch Spal electric fan assists in engine cooling, while a new chrome 200-amp alternator and a Red Top Ultima battery supply power throughout the party bus.

A Thirties Ford is a fine car to build a hot rod on, because its so outrageous in 2025! Almost all the folks living today will likely never have been around when these cars came from the Ford Factory in brand-new condition, and their only view of them will likely have been from grainy, old-timey photos, or in cartoons. The latter is from where this particular 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod seems to have popped from, but let us assure you, it’s real. Currently up for sale in Spring, Texas, it’s got a supercharged small-block under the hood that’s reportedly been dynoed at nearly 700 horsepower! That, its custom interior, suicide doors, Hoosier Pro Street racing rear tires and overall outlook mean that it’s a definite conversation starter, head turner, you name it. If you’d like to acquire this quirky machine, we’re glad to assist.
One of the most popular hot rod platforms turns out to be classic Ford and Chevy automobiles from the Twenties and Thirties – that’s 1920 and 1930 for you! Crazy isn’t it, that we’re in the Twenties right now – that’s the Twenty Twenties. Back to the subject car, it’s a 1933 Ford Model 40 Hot Rod that started life off as a stylish and dependable two-door coupe but has since undergone a comprehensive rebuild into the form you see here. Up for sale in Cabot, Arkansas, it boasts just over 13,000 miles since rebirth and comes with a 350 under the hood, mated with a Turbo 350 and of course, rear-wheel drive! Join us as we take you on a trip through its essence and you’ll be convinced as to why you should snap it up.
There’s something appropriately gangster about Thirties Fords, perhaps its down to their prominent showing in the silent films of the era. The 1932 Ford was produced in Model B, Model 18 and Model 40 forms, with a slew of body styles. The Tudor for example, was a two-door sedan, while the Fordor had, can you guess, four doors. As time passed on, these cars were noticed to be excellent for hot-rodding. That’s what we have here, a 1934 Ford Model 40 Tudor Sedan Hot Rod from Marlow, Oklahoma with just 13,077 miles to its name. This eye-catching vintage Ford comes with hydraulic air-lift suspension, a V8, and an automatic gearbox too.
The 1969 Ford Torino Cobra stands as one of Ford’s most purpose-built muscle cars, developed with a clear focus on high-speed performance and NASCAR homologation rather than pure styling flair. This example is a genuine factory Cobra, confirmed by VIN and data plate, and powered by Ford’s legendary 428 Cobra Jet V8. Finished in Presidential Blue over a black interior, the car presents an authentic, no-nonsense performance specification that reflects Ford’s competition-driven mindset at the end of the 1960s. Importantly, this Torino is accompanied by a Marti Report, providing documented verification of its factory configuration, drivetrain, and special performance designation.

Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
The Chevy El Camino showed the world in 1959 that a pickup truck didn’t have to be a body-on-frame machine with stodgy styling and uncomfortable riding dynamics. Instead, Chevy created a segment called the Coupe Utility, which was basically a seamless integration of cab, chassis and cargo area into one element. This led to a sportier, lower-riding and more comfortable vehicle that could still carry a decent payload in its cargo bed. After all, many buyers of such vehicles didn’t need heavy load-carrying per se, rather they wanted space. The El Camino also gained a reputation in the muscle car class, since it was available with some truly awesome V8s under the hood. Here, we have a 1960 Chevrolet El Camino that’s received a 383 Stroker under the hood, paired with a 3-speed automatic gearbox and a B&M shifter. With just 23,000 miles on its belt, this machine of multiple personas awaits its new owner in Dana Point, California.
The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
This 1942 Chevrolet 3100 pickup presents a classic pre-war truck aesthetic paired with thoughtful mechanical updates for improved drivability. Finished in an attractive two-tone cream and brown exterior, this truck blends vintage character with modern usability, making it suitable for casual cruising, local shows, or weekend use. While retaining its traditional proportions and styling, this example has been upgraded beneath the surface to better accommodate contemporary driving conditions.
