You Could Win This 550-HP 1979 Ford F-150 Ranger Restomod — Here’s How to Enter

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a jaw-dropping classic truck with modern muscle under the hood, your moment has arrived. Dream Giveaway’s Classic Truck Dream Giveaway is giving one lucky winner the keys to a fully reimagined 1979 Ford F-150 Ranger 4×4 Restomod — and all you have to do is enter.

WIN HERE

Classic Looks. Modern Muscle. One Epic Truck.

This isn’t your average barn find. Finished in a stunning High-Metallic Mocha Brown over a blacked-out interior, this F-150 was built ground-up as a full restomod — a truck that turned heads on the Barrett-Jackson auction stage and delivers the kind of performance you’d expect from a purpose-built muscle car.

WIN HERE

At the heart of the build sits a 5.0-liter Ford Coyote V-8 cranking out a jaw-dropping 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, backed by a smooth-shifting 6R80 automatic transmission and an NP205 transfer case for proven 4×4 capability. The build cost alone is estimated at $100,000 — and it could be yours for the price of a donation.

Every Detail Has Been Dialed In

The exterior of this classic Ford truck is loaded with attitude. Highlights include LED headlights, a custom rear roll pan, a true LUND OBS visor, and 35×12.50 Venom Power all-terrain tires riding on 17-inch KMC beadlock-style wheels. Rough Country suspension provides the lift, while a Ford 9-inch rear end and four-wheel disc brakes keep everything grounded and safe.

Step inside and the black-on-black premium interior keeps the classic vibe alive while adding serious comfort upgrades: a tilt steering column, digital gauges, Vintage Air climate control, and a modern Bluetooth stereo system. This truck drives as good as it looks.

And if you win? Dream Giveaway will pay $23,000 toward the federal prize taxes on your behalf. That means you walk away with the truck, the title, and serious financial help to cover the IRS’s cut.

Shawn Henry is the guy who remembers the weird trim option nobody ordered and can tell you why it mattered. At Backfire News he covers off-road trucks and trail builds, performance cars, racing and the collector market, plus the new tech headed for your driveway. He'll get into the technical weeds, but he figures people read about cars because cars are fun, not because they want a spec sheet. His best stories are about people: the builds they pour money into, the road trips, the communities that form around one shared obsession.
