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.

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.
The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.
The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
If you want a classic pony car that’s plentiful, easy to maintain and cuts a fine dash wherever you take it, choose a first-generation Ford Mustang. Produced between 1964 and 1973, a couple of million were made, basically. Three body styles were available, and did you know that the famous fastback was officially called the SportsRoof? Yes, that’s what we have for sale today, a rather unique 1969 Ford Mustang Restomod for sale from Royse City, Texas. It’s got a 5.2-liter Coyote Aluminator V8 under the hood, hooked up to a five-speed Tremec box and a Currie rear end. Yes, this pony has received a significant shot in the arm, or several. With just 155 miles since its makeover, it’s now ready for a new owner.
