Headquartered out of Pensacola, Florida, Velocity Modern Classics is an award-winning car customization, restoration, and parts outfit that specializes in wrenching on classic cars and trucks. And though the Floridian firm already offers a wide range of updated takes on vintage models, the company has now added yet another offering to its lineup with a massively-upgraded vintage Ford F-250 restomod.

Known as the Signature Series F-250, this heavily-reworked restomod is available on the Ford truck from 1967 through 1972 model years. Like all of Velocity’s vehicles, the Signature Series F-250 largely retains the aesthetics of the original donor vehicle while massively improving comfort and performance. Under the hood, the truck packs a Ford 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine paired with a 4R70 transmission, an Atlas II transfer case, Velocity’s own “Serpentine System”, and custom headers feeding into a custom exhaust. The entire thing is constructed around a Roadster Shop RS4 chassis and features Hydraboost-assisted Wildwood brakes, front and rear coil-overs, a new Dana 44 front axle, and a new Ford 9″ rear axle.

Outside the truck has been gifted custom Glasurit paint, 18” polished wheels with 33” tires, JW Speaker headlights, all-new glass and weather seals, California-style mirrors, and a wealth of chrome bits. Inside, the truck now boasts a bespoke bench seat, trim, and floor mats, an Alpine Bluetooth stereo, Velocity-exclusive Dakota digital gauges, a custom shifter setup, and a GT Performance Steering Wheel. Velocity is also offering the even more high-end Heritage Edition Package that steps things up with a custom two-tone livery, power steps, even more chrome trim, paint-matched engine bay, firewall, and inner fenders, custom cabin overhead lights, and hood badging, center caps, cab lights, and tailgate and door handles all machined from billet. The Heritage Edition Package also features heated and cooled seats, leather upholstery, a backup camera, a touchscreen display and stereo, front and rear sway bars, and a towing package, amongst other upgrades.

Available now, the Velocity Modern Classics Ford F-250 Signature Series Restomod starts at $285,000 while the Heritage Edition Package begins at $325,000.
