Why do automotive enthusiasts embark down the restomod route? There are a variety of reasons. Maybe one wants a unique and distinctive vehicle that tastefully melds vintage and modern aspects. Maybe it’s just too hard to restore a classic vehicle to its period-correct style due to certain factors. Whatever the reason, restomods such as this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup are undoubtedly desirable vehicles, and the nature of a restomod means that every one is unique. Boasting just 400 miles after a reported full frame-off restoration, it’s ready for a second life.
Exterior and Interior
A red paint job is always eye catching, and this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup doesn’t disappoint with its Viper Red paint job that proudly shows off that Fifties design, which is all the more special, as this is the first generation of the Ford F-Series! Custom tail lights and rear bumper meld beautifully with the custom tail gate that opens to reveal an oak wood and stainless steel bed that you won’t want to dirty! Polished five-spoke alloys hide four-wheel power disc brakes behind them. The interior is in gray, and includes power windows, air conditioning, new seats and a modern JVC head unit with CD, MP3 and AUX connectivity for a fresh and funky listening experience. Even the gauges are old-style units, but look closer and you can see a digital odometer among the analog speedometer, and the old-style fonts have been silk-screened. Metal pedals and a chromed gear lever are present, as is three-spoke wood-rimmed Grant GT steering wheel.
Engine
The first generation of Ford F-Series came with in-line sixes, Flathead V8s and Y-block V8s, but this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup eschews all of those for a 350ci (5.7L) Corvette V8 with 350hp sent to the rear wheels via a TCI 350 automatic transmission and 3.73 rear end. Rack and pinion power steering means that you don’t need to exert much to steer this truck, and coil over suspension ensures a smooth ride. A custom fuel tank holds ample fuel for plenty of cruising.
Blending unmistakable 1950s pickup styling with uncompromising Pro Street performance, this 1951 Ford F-1 is a professionally built custom that was engineered to make a statement. Showing just 2,228 miles, this Gray-over-Black pickup is powered by a monstrous supercharged 521ci Big Block Ford V8 and combines old-school hot rod attitude with modern performance components throughout. From the towering roots blower and massive Mickey Thompson rear tires to its race-inspired suspension and driveline, this F-1 is built to turn heads at every cruise night while delivering the kind of tire-shredding performance enthusiasts dream about.
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.
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 1939 Ford Deluxe Tudor Sedan Street Rod brings together classic prewar Ford styling, custom hot-rod craftsmanship, and a notable build pedigree. Showing approximately 20,140 miles, this example was built by Boyd Coddington and featured on American Hot Rod, giving it a level of provenance that sets it apart from a typical custom street rod. Finished in red over a tan interior, it is powered by a 350ci V8 with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and automatic transmission. Additional highlights include a shaved body, Mustang II front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, Wilwood disc brakes, Boyd Coddington wheels, and a reupholstered interior.
Few cars capture the spirit of 1960s American performance quite like the first-generation Ford Mustang, and this 1966 Ford Mustang Hardtop combines that iconic shape with a number of enthusiast-oriented upgrades. Showing approximately 58,091 miles, this example is powered by a 289ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake manifold, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Finished in red over a black interior, it also features an aftermarket clutch, American Racing wheels, a Lecarra 3-spoke steering wheel, a Pioneer audio head unit, and a custom paint job. Altogether, it delivers the classic Mustang formula with a more personalized, driver-focused character.
Presented with approximately 89,973 miles, this 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie represents the height of Ford’s late-1950s styling, combining dramatic design details with V8-powered cruising capability. According to the seller, the current build has approximately 2,000 miles, adding to its appeal as a classic Ford that has received attention while maintaining its original character. Finished in the striking Coral Sunset and Colonial White color combination, this Fairlane 500 Galaxie captures the era’s fascination with bold colors, chrome accents, and elegant road-going presence. Equipped with the desirable 352ci Interceptor V8, Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, power steering, and power booster, this classic Ford offers a blend of period-correct style and comfortable drivability. Additional highlights include chrome fender skirts, stainless steel exterior trim, detailed underbody presentation, and a reupholstered interior that complements its iconic 1950s character.
