The automotive world and the 90s were performance wars on all fronts. The sleek Japanese imports fought for glory while the American counterparts stayed true to their muscle car roots and provided a different type of thrill. Over on the other side of the pond, however, there was another battle brewing among America’s finest, the battle for the best performance truck. Each manufacturer had its version of a performance truck, and Ford’s answer to this was the legendary Ford F150 Lightning. Over the years, the not-so-humble Lightning marque has grown and, in its current generation, serves to be a fully electric performance truck that proves itself on every front, but what if you are the type that loves older vehicles? This 1993 Ford F150 Lightning is the genesis of the Ford performance truck lineup. With a reported 55,555 miles on the clock, this low mileage example is in near factory condition and yours to treasure and drive.
While you might want to stand out in your classic Ford performance truck, you might also want to be incognito at times. The black exterior on this 1993 Ford F150 Lightning ensures that you fly under the radar, but those who know, will look. The body and exterior are in great shape, with its front race lip and retro “Lightning” stickers still in place. Adding to its fresh factory look is the factory Ford Lightning silver wheels. The charcoal grey interior on this 1993 Ford F150 Lightning screams 90s in all its glory. Step in, and you are treated to “Lightning” embossed seats. Looking around, the wood trim blends into the vehicle's interior and provides practicality with the armrest doubling down as a cup holder.
If you thought the mileage mentioned above was a typo, you would be mistaken, as the moment you pop open the hood on this 1993 Ford F150 Lightning, you would find its 5.8L V8 powertrain to be in factory condition and not worn down from heavy usage. Being a performance truck meant good times at the blip of the throttle and pushing out an impressive-for-the-time 240hp while rocketing off the line from zero to sixty in just 7.2 seconds, not the kind of performance that Nineties trucks could be expected to offer. Power is sent to the rear wheels of this performance truck through an automatic transmission.
Ford’s longest-running series to date, the F-Series entered production in 1948, and revolutionized small businesses across America. Here was a sturdy, capable and reliable pickup truck that came in capacities of ½ ton upwards. It offered a great way to transport your goods to market, bring back raw materials, and carry your family as well. Now we’re on the fourteenth generation of the F-Series, and there have been many greats along the way. This 2008 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson comes from the eleventh generation and is the result of a collaboration between Ford and Harley Davidson. This special edition was offered for the tenth generation as well. Furthermore, this truck comes with the Saleen supercharger package, making it one heck of a ride to own and drive.
Ford’s F-Series full-size pickup truck has been a mainstay of American life ever since it was born in 1948. One of the Blue Oval’s longest-running nameplates, the range initially started with the F-100. From 1984, the F-150 came about as the half-ton variant in the range. Since 1977, the F-Series has been the best-selling pickup truck in the United States. What’s more, you can find ferocious performance variants that can genuinely startle the average muscle car or sports car. Take this 2023 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake as a prime example. With well over 700 raging horses packed in a supercharged 5.0L V8, waiting to be unleashed, this 13,000-mile monster could be yours!
Ford’s popular F-150 is well regarded as the best half-ton pickup truck around. A member of the F-Series lineage, it has been providing dependable and utilitarian transport to enterprising Americans for decades. In many cases, an F-Series pickup truck is the sole vehicle for a small business owner, and used for commercial, as well as family transport purposes. So, as you can imagine, the F-Series is one of America’s best-sellers, and an immensely loved nameplate. This particular 1985 Ford F-150 Lariat Explorer comes from the seventh generation, which ran between 1979 and 1986. With a reportedly original 93,062 miles on the clock, it’s received a recent servicing as well, to keep it running smoothly. So why not buy this truck and make it your weekend runner?
The first generation Ford Mustang was a smooth cruiser when it had an in-line six-cylinder engine under the hood. Frugal yet fun motoring was possible in this pioneering pony car. Yet, when equipped with the larger V8 engines, the Mustang turned into a true thoroughbred of the racetrack or drag strip. Cars such as this 1967 Ford Mustang GTA offered thrilling acceleration and a stirring V8 soundtrack, paired with the relative ease of an automatic transmission. The engine’s massive power and torque figures meant that even with the slushbox, performance was impressive. This particular car has covered 51,000 miles, comes with the GTA Package and is up for sale in Bownstown Township, Michigan. You’d better act fast to grab it.
The 1968 Ford Bronco has always held a legendary place in the off-road world—but this fully restored and thoroughly upgraded example takes things to a whole new level. Powered by a professionally built 331ci stroker V8 and loaded with high-performance components, this Bronco blends vintage charm with modern capability. With just 926 miles since its full restoration, it offers the raw mechanical appeal of a classic 4x4, combined with the refinement of modern engineering and thoughtful upgrades throughout.
Ford’s Mustang has been around for over sixty years and is now in its seventh generation. It’s one of those relatively rare nameplates that’s been around since the time of your parents, and your grandparents as well, if you’re a Millenial or Gen Z’er. Few automotive nameplates can claim such fame, or celebrate anniversaries in spades. Take this fourth-generation 2004 Ford Mustang GT Deluxe Convertible 40th Anniversary as a prime example. Having traveled a smidge over 28,000 miles and currently chilling out in Maryland, this drop-top pony could be your weekend ride, as well as a significant nest egg, given that it’ll be a classic very soon. The car reportedly comes with all maintenance up to date, for peace of mind.
The Chevrolet C1500 pickup was known for its accessibility and versatility as one of the most trusted pickup trucks on offer in America. It’s no wonder that these hard-working trucks are still sought after today. Whether you’re looking to start a custom build or simply want something with character to press into regular service, this 1989 Chevrolet C1500 Cheyenne Stepside is an excellent example of a great US truck. What’s more, the owner reports some recent maintenance, including a rebuilt engine that has just 5,000 miles on it.
Dodge’s Dakota is one of those pickup truck models that is no longer around but is fondly remembered by many. Made between 1986 and 2011, the Dakota was a midsize pickup truck, the smaller sibling of the Dodge RAM series. Three generations of Dakota were made, with the truck selling over 100,000 units from 1999 to 2005. This second-generation 2001 Dodge Dakota R/T is thus one of 154,479 units made that year, and shows 15,069 miles on the odometer. That makes it a rare bird indeed and definitely a future classic.
Do you want a vehicle that’s a mish-mash of a sports car and a pickup truck? Moreover, would you like to up the ante and demand a retractable hardtop as well, because why not make things even more challenging? Chevrolet created such a vehicle between 2003 and 2006. Called the SSR, it was called a two-door roadster utility because, honestly, where would you slot this vehicle in the traditional automotive hierarchy? Looking like a cross between a hot rod and a movie prop, just 24,112 examples were made. Today, we’ve got a 2004 Chevrolet SSR LS for sale, with 70,012 miles on the clock, available to those who dare to think differently and diverge from the herd.
