Background Story of this 1978 Ford F-150

Overview of 1978 Ford F-150 For Sale by Owner

The Ford F150 has long been the most popular pick-up in the United States, and it’s earned its reputation for being a solid work truck, capable of fulfilling just about any role asked of it. Even with a new era of electrification, the F150 shows no sign of slowing down, with new fans being found for the all-electric F150 Lightning. But while a new generation of F150 owners continues to keep the nameplate alive, its trucks like our featured listing from 1978 that paved the way. Our featured 1978 Ford F150 Custom has been fully restored and includes a rebuilt engine. The owner describes it as a restomod and from these images, it certainly looks the part.

Exterior and Interior

The boxy and purposeful lines of the 1978 Ford F150 Custom give the truck a bold design, while the short bed layout lends itself to the proportions. This particular version features a bright orange exterior color. Described as a full restoration, the paint is likely new. You’ll also notice the lift kit, which adds ride height to the truck. The tall stance is further enhanced with the chunky off-road Mastercraft tires. The single-cab cabin features a bench seat and a black interior. There’s a Pioneer double-din stereo head unit present and an auxiliary oil pressure gauge located under the dash. Then, atop the steering column is a tachometer so that you can keep an eye on the revs.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1978 Ford F150 Custom lies a 400ci V8 engine that has reportedly undergone a full rebuild. This truck features selectable four-wheel drive and sends power to the wheels via an automatic transmission.

2023 Ford F-150 Shelby

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$92,999
SOLD

Ford’s popular F-150 is the definitive half-ton pickup truck in North America. The F-Series boasts a fine legacy dating back to 1948, and is now in the fourteenth generation. You can even have an electric F-150 if you please. But what if you want something a bit more traditional, with proper gasoline V8 power, and bearing the name of a famous Texan tuner? You’d turn to something like this white 2023 Ford F-150 Shelby from Vero Beach, Florida. Yes, Carroll Shelby didn’t only tune Mustangs; he turned his attention to selected other Ford products as well. Now, even after the great man’s demise, his name and legacy live on. This truck comes with a 5.0-liter naturally aspirated Coyote V8 under the hood, a luxury interior with a twin-panel moonroof, and two keys included with the sale. Up for sale in Vero Beach, Florida, this truck has reportedly covered only 32,000 miles so far.

1973 Jeep CJ-5

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$29,999

The 1973 Jeep CJ-5 stands as a true symbol of classic American off-road culture, and this particular example takes that legacy to an entirely different level with a heavily built, trail-focused setup. Showing just 7,635 miles, it has clearly been maintained as a purpose-driven machine rather than a daily driver. What makes this CJ-5 especially compelling is the depth of its upgrades—from the V8 swap to reinforced axles, steering improvements, and a fully outfitted recovery and lighting system. It’s not just visually aggressive; it’s engineered to perform in serious off-road environments, making it an excellent option for enthusiasts who want a vintage Jeep that’s already been built right instead of starting from scratch.
