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.
Our featured 1951 Ford F-1 has reportedly undergone a full restoration, with the body retaining much of its classic lines. The truck is finished in black, with red pinstripe details found at the front, and an outlined Ford insignia at the rear. At the back, you’ll also find a wood-lined bed. You’ll find modern upgrades in the form of 18-inch American Racing wheels that are wrapped in Yokohama rubber. Aiming for the perfect stance, you’ll find lowered suspension - both the front axle and rear leaf spring suspension have been dropped by 3 inches, giving the truck an aggressive stance. The interior features black and orange seats, along with an aftermarket three-spoke steering wheel. An external rpm gauge has been installed, while you’ll also find the speedometer and auxiliary dials located in the expected places.
Under the hood sits a reportedly rebuilt Chevrolet 305ci V8 engine, sourced from a 1987 Chevrolet Pickup. The engine has been enhanced with a medium-performance camshaft, an Edelbrock 1406 carburetor, a K&N air filter, new AC Delco spark plugs, and Gates XL belts for improved reliability. Power is transferred through a rebuilt Chevrolet TH350 automatic transmission, upgraded with a 2500 RPM stall-speed performance torque converter. The truck utilizes a robust Ford 9-inch rear axle equipped with a limited-slip differential and 3.89:1 gears, providing a spirited driving experience. Stopping power has also been significantly upgraded, with 4-wheel GM disc brakes ensuring improved braking performance. Meanwhile, a 17-gallon fuel tank ensures ample cruising range, making this Ford F-1 a practical classic, ideal for weekend cruising or longer trips.

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.
Widely considered as one of the first proper American Sport Utility Vehicles, the Ford Bronco came in 1966, and ran for five generations until 1996. Ford then decided to withdraw the nameplate, amidst some grumbling from the public. However, they had a change of heart two and a half decades later, and a sixth generation Bronco debuted in 2021, to much cheering and applause. The all-new sixth generation Bronco retains many signature features of the original, including removable doors and roof. Plus, it’s got some decent performance. But for those who crave more than decent, we’ve got a custom build by Hennessey Performance right here. This 2024 Ford Bronco Hennessey Velociraptor 500 is just one of 200 built with the Freedom Series Package, includes a serial numbered engine plaque, and has 500 horses on tap. With a mere 7,023 miles on its odometer, this fantastic family SUV awaits a new owner in Orlando, Florida. Contact us ASAP if you’d like to buy it.
Ford’s Model T was such a runaway hit that they had to really knock it out of the park with a successor. Cue up 1927’s Ford Model A, of which over 4.8 million were sold by 1932. The Model A brought about many improvements, including a 3-speed gearbox, a top speed of over 65mph which was positively dizzying in those days, and the traditional layout of clutch, brake, accelerator pedals from left to right. Very few will know that a Model T also had three pedals but with totally different arrangements. Finding a Model A in pristine order is still tough, but we’ve got an appealing 1929 Ford Model A Roadster for sale today. Coming from Natick, Massachusetts, this car boasts 90,000 miles and looks in great condition for something that’s just four years shy of its Centurion birthday.
