The Ford F-Series pickup, or "Effie" as it is also known, has been a fixture on American roads since it was first introduced in 1948. It was offered in a variety of configurations by Ford and sold and marketed as a full-sized pickup. Known for its durability, practicality and simple unadorned looks, they are a favorite with tradesmen, collectors and customizers alike.

Up for sale right now in the pages of Hemmings Motor News is a custom 1965 F100 with more than a little Shelby magic under the hood. This restomod sports the entire drivetrain out of the last generation GT500 on the market with solid performance and good looks to match. Let's take a look at this one of a kind "Effie."

Custom "Effie"

According to the seller, "this tastefully restomodded F-Series splits a slick combination of white and copper 2-stage paint with a bright green pin stripe. That crisp pigment highlights a laser-straight body, which is the result of a ground-up, custom build that was finished by Roger's Rod & Customs of East Bethel, Minnesota. That clean body's top-notch metalwork is, from the outside of its panels, completely undetectable....The swagger begins with a choice Charcoal grille, which hangs modern headlights between a Charcoal bumper, a custom cooling duct and white-trimmed parking lamps that reflect polished ''FORD'' lettering. At the sides of that glass, the truck's seamless, ''SHELBY'' branded profile is devoid of everything but traditional door handles and factory lock cylinders. Inside that profile, an extruded aluminum bed hides custom wheel tubs amid polished skid strips and attractive carbon fiber overlay."
