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.
This 1950 Ford F-1 Custom Build wears a color called Razeberry Plub, which is a new paint job that the truck received during its makeover. A set of silver aftermarket alloy wheels in mag style add a modern vibe to the truck’s otherwise retro exterior outlook, and we can see that it sits a little lower than stock thanks to air suspension. All the truck’s chrome parts such as its headlamp surrounds, grille elements, rear-view mirrors and badges gleam beautifully, and you’ll also note that the cargo bed has been redone in wood with metal strips. The interior of this 1950 Ford F-1 Custom Build features a glide seat, an IDIDIT steering column, a Lokar shifter, an aftermarket steering wheel, and most usefully, air conditioning. Yes, you can be chilled as you drive along in this beauty, even on the hottest Summer afternoons. Other interior features of note include a retro-modern gauge cluster, and the addition of sun visors.
There’s a Dart 434 short block engine under the hood of this 1950 Ford F-1 Custom Build, producing a reported 560 horsepower and sending it to the rear wheels via a 700R4 automatic transmission with 3000 stall speed, and a Ford 9-inch rear axle with 4.30 gears and Positraction. Then, we find an aluminum electric radiator fan, and dual Holley Sniper EFI throttle bodies. That’s not all; the engine benefits from elements such as a 4340 steel crank, hydraulic roller springs, Maley pushrods, and Magnum competition 7/16 ARP roller rockers. Other highlights of this vehicle include a Mustang II front end, electrically-assisted brakes with discs at the front, and new suspension.

If you were to consider dipping your toe into the classic car waters, would you be interested in following a path less taken? Everyone goes for the signature American classics that tend to be muscle cars, pony cars or land yachts. But what about a good old true blue pickup truck from the Fifties? This would be a very historically significant statement to make, because pickup trucks have underpinned the American economy in more ways than you’d know. Since World War II ended, these vehicles have played a key part in helping small and medium business owners move their produce, and their families as well. Today’s 1952 Ford F-1 comes from the first generation of Ford’s popular F-Series of pickup trucks, a series that you can still buy today, albeit in its fourteenth generation. While we know the F-150 as the half-tonner, and our parents may recall that the F-100 held this mantle earlier on, the very first F-Series half-tonner was simply called the F-1! This truck currently resides in Port St. Lucie but is looking for a new owner. With just 48,000 miles on the clock, a Flathead V8 and rear-wheel drive, it’s definitely a classic worth conserving, and driving every now and then.
This 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod blends classic American truck design with carefully selected modern upgrades. Painted in a bold black and red two-tone finish, it captures attention with a custom aesthetic while offering increased reliability and performance beneath the vintage sheet metal. The truck rides on a reinforced chassis featuring a front clip from a ’76 Chevy Malibu and steering components sourced from a '96 GMC Jimmy. With its fuel-injected 302ci V8 engine and an automatic transmission, this F-1 has been built to cruise with confidence. Bespoke touches can be found throughout the vehicle—from the custom engine bay graphics to the reimagined cabin. A restored example that hasn’t lost its hot rod soul, this F-1 stands as an ideal candidate for local shows, weekend drives, or simply as a unique centerpiece in any garage.
The Ford F-1 is the genesis for the F-series line of trucks - a line that has spawned the most popular type of pickup in the world. And after years in the spotlight, there are plenty of examples around. Whether you’re into immaculate period-correct restorations, honest workhorses, or madly modified restomods, there’s likely an F-1 out there for you. Our featured 1951 Ford F-1 is very much a restomod, with a stunning exterior and some surprises under the hood as well. Featuring a rebuilt 305ci Chevrolet engine and transmission that were reportedly completed less than 3,000 miles ago, this black-on-black pickup is based in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
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 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.
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.
