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.

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 1934 Ford Victoria belongs to Ford’s Model 40 line-up, introduced in 1933 as an update to the earlier 1932 models. Styled under Edsel Ford’s guidance rather than Henry himself, the Victoria was one of fourteen body styles available in the range, positioned as a more upscale option with a focus on comfort and style. Its flowing lines and enclosed cabin gave it a distinctively refined look compared to standard coupes and sedans. The example offered here shows 62,300 miles and features thoughtful upgrades, including drivability enhancements, making it a practical choice for vintage enthusiasts who still want to enjoy the open road.
Ford gives its Mustang pony car plenty of gallop straight from the factory. But what if you want a raging racehorse instead? Well, that’s where you’d need to venture into the realm of Shelby. Shelby Mustangs are worshipped and revered as some of the most potent around, ever since Carroll Shelby looked at the first-generation Mustang and decided to work his magic on it. Now, Shelby Mustangs roll out of the Ford factory itself, in tribute to the great man who sadly left us some years back. Today, we have a 2020 Ford Mustang GT350 for sale from Gilbert, Arizona with just 5,900 miles to its name. What’s even nicer is that it’s been tuned by Lund Racing and features a supercharger installed on to its 5.2-liter V8. This, the 6-speed manual transmission and many more things make this the ultimate performance Mustang for the discerning driving enthusiast.

One of the best ways to experience a classic car is to cruise down in town with a drop-top first-generation Ford Mustang. You’ll be guaranteed to receive smiles, waves and general gestures of appreciation because who doesn’t love a Mustang? Introduced in 1964, the Mustang created a class of car called the pony car, and also facilitated an entire culture of happy, carefree cruising. Drop-top examples like this 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible are most facilitative of this culture, and will definitely invoke fond memories from many of those who were around at the time. Heck, even the new generation will love the car’s simplicity and characterful nature. This particular pony is up for sale in Westlake, Louisiana with 7,337 miles on the clock, we’re told. It’s also been fitted with aftermarket air conditioning, a retro stereo, a new convertible top and new whitewall tires too!
The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
Are you the sort of person who prefers a classic off-roader rather than a car? Do you want your classic off-roader to have real off-roading chops, a fine legacy of dependability and come from a well-known American brand? If so, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 is perfect. Hailing from the illustrious Jeep CJ – that’s Civilian Jeep – legacy, the CJ was created shortly after World War II ended. Willys-Overland, the ones behind the popular Military Jeep knew that without war, their main customer wouldn’t be buying nearly as many vehicles from them. So, they switched gears and made the Jeep CJ, a tough, no-nonsense off-roader aimed at farmers and tradespersons who needed a simple vehicle with guts and four-wheel drive. This vehicle comes from the CJ-5 era which ran between 1954 and 1983. With its naturally aspirated V6, manual gearbox and aftermarket exhaust system, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 has only done 167 miles since its thorough makeover.
Jeep’s CJ series of off-roaders is what gave rise to the Wrangler today. You can see the design similarities between the old and the new, despite the Wrangler’s notably larger size, plusher cabin, more powerful engine, etc. That iconic face remains largely intact, with the famous seven-bar grille signifying that the vehicle wearing it is capable of great off-road feats. The CJ series came about in 1944, when Willys-Overland knew that they had to switch to the civilian market to survive. World War II was ending, and the military wouldn’t be needing Jeeps like cigarettes anymore. So, the CJ was born, standing for Civilian Jeep. It was made to live a tough life in the fields of agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing and other rough-and-tumble industries. Jeep knew that the civilian variant would have a lifespan in years or even decades, not months or weeks like its battleship brethren. Hence, the CJ is exceptionally well-built, and many survive to this day. This 1978 Jeep CJ-5 from Melbourne, Florida is proof of that quality.
