1968 Ford F100

1968 Ford F-100 Ranger Restomod 750HP Supercharged Coyote 6R80 Automatic 4-Link Coilovers Vintage Air

This 1968 Ford F-100 Ranger is the kind of restomod that goes far beyond a cosmetic restoration. Beneath its beautifully preserved late-1960s Ford styling is a thoroughly modernized performance platform built around a supercharged 5.0-liter Coyote V8, six-speed automatic transmission, upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and modern comfort features.

Finished in a striking two-tone red and cream combination, the truck retains the unmistakable character that makes the fifth-generation F-Series so desirable while sitting dramatically lower over a staggered set of polished wheels. Ranger badging, bright body-side moldings, chrome bumpers, a chrome grille, FORD tailgate lettering, and the contrasting cream roof give it a sophisticated factory-inspired appearance rather than an overly modified look.

Supercharged Coyote Power
At the center of the build is a Gen 1 Ford 5.0L Coyote V8 topped with a Roush water-to-air intercooled supercharger, with the combination rated at approximately 750 horsepower.

A twin 340-LPH Aeromotive fuel system supplies the supercharged engine, while Power By The Hour engine and transmission management helps integrate the late-model drivetrain into the vintage Ford chassis.

Behind the Coyote is Fords 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission, giving this F-100 the benefit of modern gearing, highway manners, and significantly greater usability than a traditional three- or four-speed vintage automatic.

The exhaust is handled by a custom 2.5-inch Borla system with an X-pipe, providing the aggressive sound expected from a blown Coyote without compromising the trucks refined character.

Modernized Chassis & Suspension
The chassis was designed to make use of the substantial increase in power rather than simply accommodate it.

Up front, the truck utilizes an independent suspension with upper and lower control arms, along with electronic power rack-and-pinion steering. At the rear is a parallel four-link suspension, while coilovers at all four corners provide the low stance and more contemporary suspension control.

Power is transferred through a Ford 8.8-inch rear axle equipped with 3.73:1 gearing and a Traction-Lok limited-slip differential.

Stopping performance has likewise been upgraded with power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes. The photos also show upgraded front brake hardware and a remotely mounted electric cooling fan incorporated into the build.

A mini rear frame step, raised bed floor, and modified inner wheelhouse arrangement allow the truck to achieve its aggressive static ride height while retaining a remarkably clean exterior profile.

Wheels & Stance
One of the strongest visual elements of the build is its wheel and tire combination. The polished multi-spoke billet-style wheels fill the wheel openings perfectly, with the photographs showing:

The staggered setup, combined with the coilover suspension and tucked stance, gives this F-100 a purposeful contemporary appearance without taking away from the trucks classic lines.

Exterior
The two-tone paint treatment complements the original Ford design exceptionally well. The upper body is finished in a rich red while the lower body and roof are presented in contrasting cream, separated by the factory-style bright Ranger moldings.

The truck retains numerous recognizable period details, including the FORD hood lettering, Ranger grille emblem, Ford 100 fender identification, Ranger bedside script, chrome grille and bumpers, and bright tailgate trim.

Under the hood, the presentation is exceptionally clean, with the body-color engine compartment framing the Roush-supercharged Coyote. Billet hood hinges add another high-quality detail to the build.

The bed is equally well finished, featuring a raised factory-style floor and color-matched textured bed coating, maintaining a finished appearance even in an area often overlooked on restomod builds.

Custom Interior
Inside, the F-100 carries the exteriors red theme into a beautifully finished cabin.

A custom diamond-stitched red bench seat dominates the interior, complemented by red carpeting and matching door panels. The original-style horizontal dash remains recognizable, but the instrumentation has been comprehensively modernized.

A Dakota Digital-style gauge system integrates modern electronic readouts into the vintage Ford dash layout, and the digital odometer photographed in the truck displays approximately 1,118 miles.

Additional interior upgrades include a custom billet steering wheel, Vintage Air climate control, upgraded audio system, and modern speakers, creating a cabin that retains the visual character of a classic F-Series while providing far greater comfort and usability.

A Complete High-Performance Restomod
The strongest aspect of this 1968 F-100 is that it was developed as a complete vehicle rather than simply receiving a powerful engine swap.

The 750-horsepower Roush-supercharged Coyote, 6R80 six-speed automatic, Aeromotive fuel system, limited-slip 8.8-inch rear, independent front suspension, four-link rear, coilovers, electronic rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes, Vintage Air, modern instrumentation, custom interior, and staggered 22-inch wheel package all contribute to a truck designed to look exceptional while providing genuine modern performance.

For the collector looking for a late-1960s Ford pickup with traditional Ranger styling but contemporary supercharged performance and road manners, this 1968 Ford F-100 Ranger Restomod delivers an impressive combination of craftsmanship, presentation, horsepower, and drivability.
