The one that started it all, today’s Ford F-Series of pickup trucks can be directly traced back to 1948’s first generation. The first all-new design of pickup truck since World War II ended, the first generation F-Series was offered in multiple variants, with the F-1 bearing a capacity of ½ ton. This particular 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup is a little different, because it’s a restomod. The current owner tells us that the truck has received a frame-off restoration, plus a 305ci Chevy engine from a 1987 pickup with just 3,000 miles on it. That, plus many other refinements make this one excellent classic truck to own, drive, and cherish.
Painted in black, this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup sits noticeably lower than stock. That’s because of the 3-inch front axle drop, and 3-inch rear leaf spring suspension being lowered by the same amount as well. Then, you’ve got a set of 18-inch American Racing wheels with new Yokohama tires. Closer inspection also reveals some intricate red detailing along the black exterior, while as you’d expect, the truck’s eye-catching chrome elements have been restored to perfection. Before we enter its passenger cabin, let’s pause and appreciate the wood-lined cargo bed that’s definitely too beautiful to toss some cement bags or a load of two-by-four in. The interior of this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup provides some creature comforts that weren’t offered for the F-Series in 1951, the most notable being air conditioning. While black is the dominant color, the two seats feature orange inserts, and the steering wheel has been replaced with a sportier three-spoke affair. There’s more orange detailing on the dashboard as well, and you’ll note that the windows have been tinted too.
The 305ci V8 that propels this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup has been upgraded with a medium performance cam, a new K&N air filter, new AC Delco spark plugs, and new Gates XL alternator and AC belts. There’s also a new Edelbrock 1406 carburetor, and a 17-gallon fuel tank. Drive goes rearwards via a rebuilt Chevy TH350 automatic transmission with a 2500rpm stall speed torque converter, and a Ford 9-inch rear axle with 31-spline axle. There’s also a limited slip differential with a 3.89 final drive ratio. Meanwhile, this truck enjoys 4-wheel GM disc brakes to ensure that the added power is met with enhanced braking capabilities.

Ford debuted the F-Series of pickup trucks in 1948, with the F-1 representing the entry-level, half-ton variant. By 1953, the second generation was introduced, and the F-1 became the F-100. Several generations later, by the seventh generation, a familiar number came; 150. Yes, the F-Series is still around, on the fourteenth generation, and the F-150 is one of the most popular pickup trucks in the USA. Today, we’ve got a nice third-generation 1960 Ford F-100 for sale that’s a great way to celebrate this iconic series and nameplate from one of America’s most prolific automakers. This Arizona-based example is more of a restomod, and comes with a powerful engine too. Let’s discover more about this truck, and find out why you should snap it up ASAP.
America’s best-selling pickup truck badge since 1977, and the longest consecutive running pickup truck nameplate, the F-Series is now on its fourteenth generation. It all started in 1948, when Ford decided to overhaul its pickup truck offerings. By 1957, the marque was on its third generation, and that’s where today’s 1958 Ford F-100 comes. This truck appears to have been extensively restored, belying the fact that it’s served its previous owners for approximately 98,676 miles since it left the Ford factory all those decades ago. Today, this beautiful classic truck can be yours if you want something that looks amazingly pristine, yet can be driven around from time to time, too.
What’s this? A crossover with electric power bearing the holy Mustang name upon its valance? Yes, Ford did something rather daring a few years back. They released the Ford Mustang Mach-E in 2021, which is on sale to date. Some may argue that it dilutes the Mustang’s hallowed reputation, but was well-received. In fact, it went on to win North American Car of the Year in 2021 itself! If you’re intrigued, here’s a sub 30k-mile 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT from San Diego, California for sale. It’s a fantastic choice as a family crossover if you want something electric, practical, and outdoorsy.
Ford’s Thunderbird or T-Bird is most well known for creating the American segment of Personal Luxury Cars. Aimed at rivaling Europe’s Grand Tourers, the first generation of T-Bird was a stylish and powerful two-door, two-seat coupe or convertible, with a comfortable and lavishly-equipped passenger cabin plus a roomy trunk. It was meant as a car that would be owned by the wealthy and driven by them across great distances with nary an ache or pain at the end. Subsequent generations gained a rear seat too, since Ford realized that sticking to two seats was limiting their target market. Made for ten generations between 1955 and 1997, the T-Bird firmly entrenched itself in American automotive culture. In 2002, Ford, feeling a bit misty-eyed, decided to make a eleventh generation as a homage to the original. This eleventh generation was produced for just three years and saw over 68,000 units sold. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 2003 Ford Thunderbird for sale from Sterling, Alaska. It’s got super low mileage too, less than 8,000 in fact, making it an absolute steal and a fantastic addition to someone who wants a definitive future classic that can be driven and enjoyed from today onwards.
Attractive styling, affordable performance, and ample opportunities for personalization are traits of the renowned pony car, the Ford Mustang. Unsurprisingly, the modern-day Mustang is more sophisticated and souped up to take on rivals like the Camaro, Dodge, or even European brands. In fact, the popular Car and Driver magazine chose the 2019 Ford Mustang GT as one of the 10 best cars in 2019. So don't pass up the opportunity to pick up this gorgeous 2019 Ford Mustang GT Premium with over 74,000 miles on it. Based in Long Beach, New Jersey, this Pony packs some exciting performance upgrades.
Chevy’s C/K Series of pickup trucks debuted for the 1959 model year, as the successor to the Task Force line-up. For the next four decades, four generations would be made, until 2002 when the C/K Series became the Silverado that we know today. Yup, the good old Silverado comes with a fair bit of history behind it. Today’s 1985 Chevrolet C10 Restomod is a third generation example that’s been extensively resto-modded into a true head-turner. Yes, even a workmanlike truck can be made to be stunningly eye-catching and of course, deeply potent in the performance department. So join us as we take you on a whistle-stop tour of this Florida-based truck that is just a call or DM away from becoming yours if you please.
The iconic Willys Jeep is a reminder of what can happen when military vehicles are the basis of inspiration for something aimed at civilian use. When World War II ended, Willys-Overland knew that the demand for military Jeeps would die. Smartly, they realized that with some updates and adjustments, this battlefield stalwart could offer fantastic utility to aspiring Americans, particularly those engaged in agriculture. Hence, the CJ or Civilian Jeep line-up was born in 1944. It was made until 1986 across multiple iterations, each one with many updates and enhancements over the last. Today, we’ve got a 1958 Willys Jeep CJ-5 from Gulfport, Mississippi for sale. This timeless classic off-roader has received quite a few updates, making it a fine addition to any car collection.
The quirky Chevy El Camino raised quite a few eyebrows when the model made it to the market in 1959. From the front half, it was a coupe. Then, the rear half blended into a pickup truck with a full cargo bed on offer. The type was called the coupe utility. Most importantly, it didn’t have the typical body-on-frame stance of a pickup truck. For example, the passenger cabin and the truck bed flowed into each other like one smooth silhouette. That’s because the Chevy El Camino was based on car platforms. Initially, the Biscayne served as its basis, then the Chevelle and finally GM’s G-Body platform. Today, we’ve got a 1979 Chevrolet El Camino which hails from the fifth generation of this well-known nameplate. The fifth generation was, sadly, the last, terminating production in 1987, so this vehicle is quite a definitive classic to own and drive. Bearing a decent 115,638 miles, you can see that this Madisonville, Kentucky-based coupe utility has led an interesting life.
