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 F-Series is probably America’s longest-running pickup truck series. Introduced in 1948, it’s still going strong after fourteen generations of excellence.

Over time it has not lost its purpose, but has gained power, luxury and capability. Today, we have got a fourth generation 1961 Ford F-100 Restomod for sale from Milan, Ohio. The truck has received a comprehensive upgrade in nearly every major area, resulting in something truly distinctive, as well as comfortable to drive on a regular basis. If you’re interested in netting yourself a classic American truck with some tasteful upgrades, contact us right now.
Ford’s longest-running series, the F-Series of pickup trucks dates back to 1948. World War II had ended, and Ford wanted to mobilize American farmers, small business holders and tradespersons. Fiercely competing with Chevy, the F-Series hit the market as soon as possible, and is now in its fourteenth generation! Of course, there’s nothing like a classic F-Series to enjoy that vintage truck vibe, but what about a restomod? Take this second generation 1956 Ford F-100 Restomod as a prime example. It’s a classic F-Series half-ton truck, but features an LT1 V8, an automatic gearbox, a custom interior with air conditioning and Bluetooth, and so much more. Read on to discover what this truck offers, and hit us up if you’d like to purchase it from its current owner in Carlsbad, California.
Classic trucks are just as interesting and worthy of collection as classic cars. Think about it; they’re great examples of mobility in the pre-digital era, and, with icons such as the Ford F-Series, representative of the American economy, of sorts.

Now on the fourteenth generation, the F-Series remains one of America’s best-selling trucks. Today, we have a classic fifth-generation 1972 Ford F-100 Sport Custom for sale from Grand Junction, Colorado. With a fresh coat of green paint, an aftermarket audio player and plenty of love lavished on it, this 85,585-mile truck is ready for a new owner.
Ford gives its Mustang pony car plenty of gallop straight from the factory. But what if you want a raging racehorse instead? Well, that’s where you’d need to venture into the realm of Shelby. Shelby Mustangs are worshipped and revered as some of the most potent around, ever since Carroll Shelby looked at the first-generation Mustang and decided to work his magic on it. Now, Shelby Mustangs roll out of the Ford factory itself, in tribute to the great man who sadly left us some years back. Today, we have a 2020 Ford Mustang GT350 for sale from Gilbert, Arizona with just 5,900 miles to its name. What’s even nicer is that it’s been tuned by Lund Racing and features a supercharger installed on to its 5.2-liter V8. This, the 6-speed manual transmission and many more things make this the ultimate performance Mustang for the discerning driving enthusiast.
One of the most popular hot rod platforms turns out to be classic Ford and Chevy automobiles from the Twenties and Thirties – that’s 1920 and 1930 for you! Crazy isn’t it, that we’re in the Twenties right now – that’s the Twenty Twenties. Back to the subject car, it’s a 1933 Ford Model 40 Hot Rod that started life off as a stylish and dependable two-door coupe but has since undergone a comprehensive rebuild into the form you see here. Up for sale in Cabot, Arkansas, it boasts just over 13,000 miles since rebirth and comes with a 350 under the hood, mated with a Turbo 350 and of course, rear-wheel drive! Join us as we take you on a trip through its essence and you’ll be convinced as to why you should snap it up.
One of the best ways to experience a classic car is to cruise down in town with a drop-top first-generation Ford Mustang. You’ll be guaranteed to receive smiles, waves and general gestures of appreciation because who doesn’t love a Mustang? Introduced in 1964, the Mustang created a class of car called the pony car, and also facilitated an entire culture of happy, carefree cruising. Drop-top examples like this 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible are most facilitative of this culture, and will definitely invoke fond memories from many of those who were around at the time. Heck, even the new generation will love the car’s simplicity and characterful nature. This particular pony is up for sale in Westlake, Louisiana with 7,337 miles on the clock, we’re told. It’s also been fitted with aftermarket air conditioning, a retro stereo, a new convertible top and new whitewall tires too!
