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.
The second generation of Ford’s famous F-Series was made between 1953 and 1956. The F-100 was the half-tonner that marked entry into the series, and it was also the best seller. After all, a half-ton truck was what most farmers, small business holders and tradespersons needed. They didn’t want something larger and heavier. Instead, the half-tonner could fulfil work, as well as family transport needs. As time passed by, some of these trucks languished in disrepair, some were restored to pristinely stock order, and some became restomods. This 1954 Ford F-100 Restomod comes from that third category. With an extensive makeover that includes a gargantuan 612ci V8 under the hood, this 2,679-mile machine is now available in Mordoc, Indiana. Its interior has been reupholstered, its got a Flowmaster dual exhaust system, and much more to enjoy.
For decades, the Ford F-Series has been the default choice of many small business holders, particularly those in rural areas. These include farmers, mechanics and other blue-collar workers who’ve needed a truck that would never let them down, especially when driving in the middle of nowhere. That’s why the F-Series counts a fine legacy of fourteen generations since 1948 to date. Initially, the half-ton variant was called F-1, before becoming F-100, and then the famous F-150 moniker that we know today. Now, selecting a classic F-Series truck is a very smart decision because they are becoming quite desirable. Case in point, this 1972 Ford F-100 from Huntington Beach. With just 1,460 miles on the clock. If you want it for yourself, just contact us.
