Why is it that many 1920s and 1930s Fords end up becoming restomods? That’s because these cars have a design that never seems to go out of style. Paired with a snazzy hot rod persona, these cars can appeal to even the millennials, and with features such as automatic transmissions, you don’t need to learn the skills of clutch balancing to enjoy these timeless beauties. Want an example? Just cast your eyes upon this magnificent 1939 Ford Deluxe Custom that started out life as a workmanlike four-door sedan but has since been transformed into this piece of art in motion, with under 41,000 miles on the clock.
Sporting an eye-catching purple paint job with yellow flamework, this 1939 Ford Deluxe Custom has seen its fiberglass and steel body panels frenched and shaved. Then, it has received tinted glass, LED taillamps, and a set of 15-inch mag wheels. Meanwhile, the front tires have been upgraded to Toyo 185/60 units for better grip while maintaining suitable ride comfort and aesthetic appearance with a chunky sidewall. Meanwhile, the rear tires are Toyo 255/60 units, which is necessary since there’s a potent V8 powering them. The interior of this 1939 Ford Deluxe Custom features a Vintage Air air conditioning system, a GT steering wheel, classic-styled instrument gauges, custom front bucket seats, and a rear bench delete. The seating and interior panels are covered in supple leather, and there are Billet floor shift-style cup holders. The vehicle’s trunk remains as-is, and you’ve got even more cargo space in the area where the rear bench seat used to be.
This 1939 Ford Deluxe Custom packs a powerful 350ci V8, paired with a Turbo 350 automatic gearbox and a Ford 9-inch rear end. The engine also benefits from polished ‘Heartbeat of America’ valve covers and air cleaner, the latter of which feeds air into a Weber polished 4-barrel carburetor. Then, there’s an aluminum intake manifold and a full custom exhaust system right up to the headers. Then, there’s an HEI electrical system with MSD coil and chrome spark plug rails. Meanwhile, the battery has been relocated to the trunk. Other highlights include a blacked-out aluminum radiator with a fan, Power R&P steering, a Mustang II front end, and tubular control arms.

Vintage Fords seem to take two forms these days. Pristinely-restored classics with true to original form, or wacky hot rods that change nearly everything. Today’s 1939 Ford Deluxe Coupe straddles the line between these two. On the outside, this nice green classic looks pretty stock. Under the skin and on the inside, though, it’s been tastefully upgraded to make it more pleasant to drive, showcase, and enjoy. Now up for grabs in Carnation, Washington with 24,308 miles on the odometer, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a car from the 1930s with modern features such as a sound system, automatic gearbox and heating.
Blending pre-war American design with raw hot rod attitude, this 1940 Ford Deluxe Sedan Delivery Street Rod is a bold and highly customized build. Showing just 497 miles, this example represents a fresh, purpose-built creation that leans more toward traditional street rod culture than a subtle restomod. With its aggressive stance, patina-style finish, and LS-powered drivetrain, this Ford delivers a unique mix of vintage aesthetics and modern performance. It’s the kind of build that turns heads at shows while still being fully capable of hitting the road with confidence.
The 1937 Ford line-up hit the streets as a refresh of the preceding Model 48. It was offered in a variety of body styles, and is known as one of the most popular cars for hot-rodding to this day. Case in point, this 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Hot Rod from Coast 2 Coast. Starting off as a 2-door car, this car has been comprehensively hand-formed from a 1939 Ford fiberglass body by Coast 2 Coast, and features a host of enhancements. From a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 from arch-rivals Chevy, to a GM 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission and a plushly reupholstered Fawn Beige leather interior, this hot rod is a fine cruiser that will brighten up the darkest of days.
This 1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is what happens when a clean SN95 cruiser is transformed into a genuinely serious street machine. While the chassis shows 99,658 miles, the seller reports that the heavily upgraded drivetrain is substantially fresher, with approximately 2,000 miles on the built 347 stroker V8 and fewer than 750 miles on the professionally built transmission. Finished in factory-correct Laser Red Metallic over Saddle with a matching Saddle soft top, this Mustang retains classic mid-1990s convertible charm while packing performance figures that would embarrass many modern muscle cars. With a dyno-reported output of over 450 horsepower at the wheels and more than 510 lb-ft of torque, this is not a casual bolt-on build—it’s a purposefully assembled forced-induction street car for enthusiasts who appreciate old-school supercharged V8 brutality.
The 1965 Ford Mustang GT helped ignite America’s pony car revolution and quickly became one of the most influential performance cars of the 1960s. Combining sporty styling, compact dimensions, and V8 power at an attainable price point, the Mustang transformed Ford’s image overnight and created an entirely new segment in the automotive world. Showing just 18,813 miles, this example is finished in elegant Vintage Burgundy over a black interior and equipped with the highly desirable GT package, complete with a 289ci V8 and 4-speed manual transmission. With its timeless proportions, unmistakable styling cues, and engaging analog driving experience, this first-generation Mustang GT represents the pure essence of mid-1960s American performance motoring.
This 1993 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible represents the final production year of the legendary Fox-body Mustang, a platform that helped define affordable American V8 performance throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. Showing just 34,294 miles, this example stands out thanks to its highly desirable 5.0-liter V8 drivetrain, striking Bright Red over Opal Gray color combination, and classic open-top Fox-body styling. The LX trim remains especially sought-after among enthusiasts for its cleaner, lighter-weight appearance compared to the GT models, while the convertible configuration adds a more relaxed cruising personality to Ford’s legendary pony car formula. Equipped with desirable factory features along with tasteful aftermarket audio and exhaust upgrades, this low-mileage Mustang delivers both collector appeal and unmistakable 1990s character.
Some builds are modified classics. Others are rolling works of art. This 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Club Coupe Street Rod unquestionably falls into the latter category. Built by Dakota Muscle Cars and recognized across some of the most respected stages in the street rod world, this award-winning custom is far more than a vintage Ford with a few tasteful upgrades. It is a fully realized high-end build that earned coverage in Street Rodder Magazine, landed in the Street Rodder Top 100 in 2011, and was a finalist for both Custom Rod of the Year and West Coast Custom of the Year. Showing approximately 2,515 miles since completion, this coupe represents the kind of professionally executed custom that would cost an extraordinary amount to replicate today. For buyers seeking craftsmanship, show pedigree, and genuine street usability, this Ford checks every box.
The 1936 Chevrolet FB 1/2-Ton Pickup Street Rod is a beautifully reimagined classic that blends pre-war styling with modern performance and comfort. Showing 34,186 miles, this build transforms an iconic early Chevrolet truck into a usable and enjoyable cruiser without losing its vintage character. With a custom two-tone finish and a proven small-block V8 under the hood, it offers the best of both worlds—classic looks paired with reliable drivability. Street rods like this are highly sought after for their uniqueness, and this example stands out with its thoughtful upgrades and attention to detail.
Pre-war American design meets unmistakable Mopar performance in this 1939 Plymouth Business Coupe, a thoughtfully built street rod that blends vintage character with modern usability. Showing approximately 11,691 miles, this coupe presents as a well-executed build that emphasizes both drivability and show-ready appeal. Under the hood sits a 340ci V8 paired with a desirable Torqueflite automatic, while a tri-power carburetor setup adds both visual drama and enhanced performance. With its combination of classic styling, upgraded mechanicals, and custom craftsmanship throughout, this Plymouth offers a compelling opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a distinctive and usable hot rod.
