Fords from the 1930s are becoming quite desirable in terms of retromod platforms. With their gangster movie looks and quirky styling, these cars have a sort of allure to them that many enthusiasts of restomods seem to seek. However, it’s not always easy to find a ʼ30s Ford that’s worthy of restomod treatment. Some cars may be too far deteriorated to be restored, others might be lovingly-restored to original form and thus it would be a crime to restomod them. That’s why outfits such as Factory Five exist. Popularly known for their Shelby Cobra replicas, this company also makes replicas of other vehicles. One prime example of their excellent work is this 2017 Factory Five '33 Hot Rod with 6,498 miles on the clock. If you want a car that looks like a ʼ30s Ford that’s been restomodded, but comes with a modern powertrain and convenience features, this New York-based car is your best bet.
This 2017 Factory Five '33 Hot Rod showcases its iconic hot rod lines in a two-tone silver and blue paint job. Of course, it’s been given the full hot rod treatment, from exposed wheels sans wheel arches and fairings, to an engine bay that’s exposed on either side. A low windshield and a long stance further accentuate this distinctive look. Although our pictures show the car to be open-topped, we’re told that there’s also a convertible top and side windows so that you can button up when things turn showery or too hot. The interior of this 2017 Factory Five '33 Hot Rod is largely classic-inspired, with its vintage-style gauges, flat dashboard and low-back seats upholstered in black leather. However, there’s one feature that you wouldn’t have gotten in the Thirties – air conditioning. Yes, this car has a Vintage Air set-up for use with the convertible top and windows in place, to keep you comfortable and chilled when required.
This 2017 Factory Five '33 Hot Rod isn’t just about show; it’s also got plenty of go. Under the hood – well, you’ll likely have already seen it via the exposed sides – lies a modern 5.0-liter Coyote V8, keeping things within the Ford family. Here, it’s mated with a 5-speed manual transmission and drives the rear wheels. You’ve also got power steering and 4-wheel disc brakes for a modern experience all round.

Vintage Fords and Chevys make for some cool hot rod builds. That’s because they’ve got style, substance, and infinite abilities as a blank canvas. Take this 1934 Ford Model 40 Deluxe Tudor Sedan Hot Rod as a prime example. With its 350ci V8, automatic gearbox and custom ultra-leather interior, it’s also got plenty of style on the outside to admire and appreciate. If you’d like, this machine from The Acreage could be yours, and it’s done just 7,229 miles since its comprehensive rebuild.
A Thirties Ford is a fine car to build a hot rod on, because its so outrageous in 2025! Almost all the folks living today will likely never have been around when these cars came from the Ford Factory in brand-new condition, and their only view of them will likely have been from grainy, old-timey photos, or in cartoons. The latter is from where this particular 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod seems to have popped from, but let us assure you, it’s real. Currently up for sale in Spring, Texas, it’s got a supercharged small-block under the hood that’s reportedly been dynoed at nearly 700 horsepower! That, its custom interior, suicide doors, Hoosier Pro Street racing rear tires and overall outlook mean that it’s a definite conversation starter, head turner, you name it. If you’d like to acquire this quirky machine, we’re glad to assist.
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.
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.
Now here’s a veritable legend up for grabs in Camarillo, California! This 1948 Ford F-5 Flatbed Restomod is one of the very first Ford F-Series trucks to hit the roads, as 1948 was the launch year for the F-Series, now in its fourteenth generation as of 2026. Can you think of any other nameplate that has endured for over seven decades like this (OK fine, we know, the Corvette, but this precedes that by five years). This lovely vintage truck has a host of upgrades and boasts just 3,120 miles since then. It’s got a plucky 454ci V8 under the hood, a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission, a custom wood bed, and more to enjoy.
Behold, the famous Fox Body Mustang, also known as the third generation of Ford’s popular pony car. Introduced in 1979, the Fox Body would go on until 1993, and the successor would also use its platform. Now, Fox Bodies are becoming desirable by a segment of enthusiasts who recognize its distinctiveness and quirks too. And yes, the Fox came with a V8 engine option too. Case in point, this fine 1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible from Cumming, Georgia. This car packs a scarcely believable 4,400 miles, making it a nice time capsule of sorts. It’s got a Marti report included with the sale, and rocks a white soft top. Oh, and of course, there’s a 302 under the hood.
The 1937 Ford line-up hit the streets as a refresh of the preceding Model 48. It was offered in a variety of body styles, and is known as one of the most popular cars for hot-rodding to this day. Case in point, this 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Hot Rod from Coast 2 Coast. Starting off as a 2-door car, this car has been comprehensively hand-formed from a 1939 Ford fiberglass body by Coast 2 Coast, and features a host of enhancements. From a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 from arch-rivals Chevy, to a GM 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission and a plushly reupholstered Fawn Beige leather interior, this hot rod is a fine cruiser that will brighten up the darkest of days.
This 1938 Hudson Terraplane Rat Rod is a bold fusion of pre-war American design and modern hot rod engineering. Built on a 1971 Chevrolet ¾-ton chassis, this custom creation abandons originality in favor of strength, capability, and unmistakable presence. The rat rod philosophy is fully embraced here, combining an intentionally weathered appearance with serious mechanical upgrades underneath. Powered by a 355ci V8 and riding on modern suspension components, this Terraplane delivers a driving experience that is raw, aggressive, and purpose-built. It is not a restoration, but rather a carefully executed custom hot rod designed to stand apart from conventional classics.
The Ford Model A of 1927 to 1931 was the follow-up to Ford’s famous Model T, that had revolutionized mobility across the world, as well as laid the foundations for many of the automotive industry’s assembly line and mass standardization practices. Many of those advances are still in use today. So, the Model A had a pretty lofty reputation to continue, and it admirably did so. Despite just five model years, over 4.8 million were made, across various body styles. The Model A also came with the standard pedal arrangement for manual transmission-equipped vehicles that we know today, unlike the Model T’s unconventional control layout. Today’s 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Hot Rod is quite different from a regular Model T, though. Well, for starters it only has two pedals because this machine packs a 3-speed automatic gearbox. That’s not all, there’s a 350ci V8 under the hood, a custom paint job, and under 15,000 miles on the clock since this machine got an extensive do-over. If you’d like to acquire this funky hot rod, it’s currently sitting in Yorba Linda, California.
