Featured Build: Classic Ford F-100 Restomod Is A Beast Unleashed

This classic Ford F-100 proves that Velocity builds modernized cars and trucks to meet any taste. In stark contrast to our rugged F-250 Highboy, the same truck prominently featured in a new Post Malone video,  the Velocity Ford F-100 sits low and offers a more aggressive take on the classic Ford truck. Introduced in 2023, this vintage Ford F-100 restomod marked the beginning of Velocity’s Street Series builds, a line dedicated to performance and aesthetics.

The first thing that strikes you about the Velocity Ford F-100 is its menacing appearance. This restomod is draped in a triple black color scheme. The metallic black paint sparkles under the sunlight, highlighting the truck’s sleek lines and muscular stance. The lowered ride height further enhances its aggressive look, creating a sense of motion even when the truck is standing still. The staggered alloy wheels, measuring 19 inches in the front and 20 inches in the rear, are finished in black to complement the overall aesthetic, while the wide Michelin Pilot Sport tires provide the grip necessary to harness the truck’s formidable power.

Inside, the Velocity Ford F-100 continues to impress with a luxurious and functional cabin. The Street Series interior is dominated by rich, black Velocity Leather, which covers everything from the seats to the door cards. This leather is not just any leather; it is hand-selected for its quality and durability, ensuring that the interior will remain as stunning as the day it was built for years to come. The attention to detail is evident in the white stitching that contrasts beautifully with the black leather, adding a touch of sophistication to the otherwise all-black interior. This stitching is carried through to the dash pad and the leather-wrapped billet steering wheel, creating a cohesive and polished look that sets the Velocity Ford F-100 apart from other restomods.

All Velocity Ford F-100 Street Series trucks are adorned with chrome trim and custom-machined billet accents inside and out. These touches add a level of refinement that complements the truck’s aggressive stance. The crown jewel of this custom trim is the billet tailgate handle, which looks fantastic and houses an integrated backup camera—a perfect example of how we blend form and function in every detail. The engraved Velocity logo on the tailgate handle is a subtle reminder of the craftsmanship and pride that go into every build we produce. But it’s not just about looks. The Velocity Ford F-100 is packed with high-end features that make it a pleasure to drive, such as the Alpine touchscreen head unit and the high-end Focal sound system.

Under the hood, the Velocity Ford F-100 delivers on the promise of performance. At its heart is a brand-new Ford Performance Gen III 5.0L Coyote V8 engine rated at 460 horsepower, and this engine is paired with a 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and responsive shifts whether you’re cruising down the highway or carving through corners. The power is sent to the rear wheels via a Ford 9” rear end that perfectly balances strength and reliability.

However, the real magic of the Velocity Ford F-100 lies beneath the surface. What truly sets this truck apart from other restomods is the Roadster Shop Spec Chassis, which has been exclusively tuned by Velocity specialists. This state-of-the-art chassis is engineered to maximize comfort and control with coilovers at each corner and four-wheel Baer disc brakes for peak driving confidence. Whether you’re carving up country roads or cruising through city streets, the Velocity Ford F-100 offers an exhilarating and refined driving experience.

And don’t just take our word for it! Hagerty recently drove this very truck, and had this to say:

“Heading out onto suburban streets, the restomod feels far more like a modern car than a vintage truck, with heavier, more precise steering. Shifts are smooth, not at all abrupt, and keep the 5.0-liter in its powerband under moderate throttle… The lowered ride height and wide tires made the F-100 feel incredibly planted.”

Whereas the F-250 and Bronco are classic Ford trucks built for off-roading, the F-100 is designed to dominate the streets, offering a sleek and sinister profile that commands attention.

Yet, the F-100 remains a standout, embodying the perfect balance of classic design and contemporary engineering.

Whether you’re a fan of classic cars, a performance enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life, the Velocity Ford F-100 is sure to impress.
