Since 1948, Ford’s F-Series lineup of pickup trucks has been an American institution, and continues to this day with the fourteenth generation. Few model lineups can boast such a long production run, making the F-Series a crucial part of American automotive history. Each generation brought something new to the table. This seventh generation 1981 Ford F-100 is thus worthy of your consideration, as it’s tastefully restomodded, comes with 89,200 miles, and a nice surprise under the hood.
Wearing a very prominent red paintwork, you will spot this 1981 Ford F-100 even if you park it in a sea of pickup trucks. Rolling on a set of five-spoke black Ridler alloy wheels with silver accents only enhances its distinctiveness. The body looks straight, the paintwork looks neat, the light lenses look clear, what more could you ask for? There’s also a little Cobra badge on the side flanks, and we will get to that in due course. The owner reports dual side exit exhausts but they appear to be hidden and not easily noticeable. The interior seats two occupants on a set of low-backed seats with red and black RIXXU covers. There’s a full set of instruments, including the 85-mph speedometer that was mandated at the time, and an aftermarket rev counter takes center stage. This is another hint that the powertrain isn’t stock, although the most glaring hint is the chromed Hurst gear stick topped with a white Hurst gear knob. The windows are roll-down units, the ventilation system controls remain in the dash, but the entertainment has been upgraded with a Sony double DIN sized unit that brings Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities to this Eighties truck.
Typically, a seventh generation F-Series truck would come with a variety of V6 and V8 engines, as well as a V8 diesel from International Harvester. However, this 1981 Ford F-100 eschews all that for a 1986 302ci (5.0L) Mustang Cobra V8. Now you understand the Cobra badges on the side flanks! In 1986, this engine was rated for 200hp and 285lb-ft so let’s assume that’s what is sent to the rear wheels of this truck via a 5-speed manual transmission as reported by the owner.
Ford’s famous F-Series pickup truck line came in 1948, and has continued ever since to be a sort of gold standard for American pickup trucks. Yes, there are alternatives from various GM brands, as well as myriad foreign automakers, but for many, an F-150 is the default, top-of-mind nameplate when searching for a half-ton pickup truck. This wasn’t always the case; when the first generation F-Series was introduced, the F-1 was the half-tonner. For 1953’s second generation, the F-1 became the F-100. Today, we have a rather nicely customized 1953 Ford F-100 Restomod for sale from Henderson, Nevada. This machine has done just 3,652 miles since rebirth of sorts, and packs a 350 V8 mated with a TH350 box. It’s also got a custom paint job and a lot of tasty aftermarket bits that will make you the talk of the town.
The Ford F-Series is probably the most famous pickup truck in North America, if not in the top three for sure. Introduced in 1948, its also one of the longest-running, and now in the fourteenth generation. So, if you’re selecting a classic pickup truck, an earlier F-Series is always a robust way to go about it. Today, we have a 1979 Ford F-100 for sale from San Antonio for your kind consideration. It appears to have undergone some restoration and looks great as a result. Join us as we take you through this truck’s specifications and if you want to own it, we’re glad to help.
Granted, classic pickup trucks aren’t in as high demand as classic cars. Everyone wants that stylish pony car, brutish muscle car or flamboyant convertible to flaunt. But hang on, don’t discount classic trucks. These are equally, if not more historically significant vehicles. Especially those from lineages such as Ford’s F-Series. The F-Series is available today, in fourteenth-generation form. That makes it one of America’s longest-running continuous vehicle model series, with the first F-Series trucks hitting the streets in 1948. Here, we have a fourth-generation 1963 Ford F-100 for sale from Narrowsburg, New York. It’s got quite a few refreshments, including an reupholstered interior and just 598 miles since then. It also rocks a Y-Block 292ci V8 with a 3-speed manual transmission.
This 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake represents one of the most aggressive factory-authorized Shelby builds of the modern S550 era. Finished in Shadow Black and equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, this example combines the raw engagement of a traditional manual gearbox with Shelby’s 750+ horsepower supercharged performance package. Based on the Mustang GT Premium, the Super Snake conversion elevates the car into a limited-production, Shelby Registry–numbered performance machine with extensive mechanical, cooling, braking, and aerodynamic upgrades. With an original total MSRP approaching six figures, this car delivers supercar-level straight-line performance while retaining daily drivability and full Shelby documentation.
Ford’s famous pony car, the Mustang, just keeps on galloping and galloping! Even with the proliferation of EVs and the relentless customer demand for SUVs, this legendary nameplate is still around to this day. It’s now in the seventh generation which debuted in 2024, and shows no signs of slowing down. Ever since the first Mustangs rolled off the Dearborn lines in mid-1964, the Mustang has represented the everyperson sports car, aptly called a pony car. Today’s 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse is from the seventh generation, and is a special variant with enhanced performance for the streets, much in the vein of the original Boss Mustang 302 of the Sixties. With its 5.0-liter V8, Dark Horse badging and carbon-fiber hood, this Havana-based car boasts just 2,000 miles on the odometer.
The famous Ford F-Series has been made from 1948 to this date, and is now in its fourteenth generation. The most well-renowned member is, of course, the half-ton F-150. For those who need more capacity, the next step up is the ¾-ton F-250 and the one-ton F-350. Today, we have a 107,400-mile 1968 Ford F-250 up for sale in Lake City, Florida. This truck has got 107,400 miles on the clock and comes with a single cab. It’s a perfect example of what rural Americans used for their farms, small businesses and other commercial purposes.
