According to Classic.com and current listings, restored and restomodded Highboy F-250s generally trade from close to $45,000 into the mid $80,000s depending on the quality and completeness of the build, with the best examples reaching higher still.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value for a comprehensive frame-off build like this sits close to $55,000 to $85,000, most likely close to $62,000 to $72,000, with the quality build and desirable specification supporting the figure. At $60,000 with six days remaining, the bidding sits within that range and should climb.1976 Ford F-250 Custom HighboyBring a TrailerCondition and detailsThe truck is a comprehensive, freshly completed build, so it should be valued on the finished product. Repainted in metallic blue with a white roof and stripes, it received a body-off overhaul this year, with the frame and cab sandblasted and a replacement Styleside bed fitted. The 390 V8 was rebuilt with a roller block, a COMP camshaft, Edelbrock aluminum heads, a Brawler carburetor, and Hedman headers, backed by a Tremec five-speed manual and a dual-range transfer case.1976 Ford F-250 Custom HighboyBring a TrailerIt rides on 16-inch Mickey Thompson wheels with Skyjacker shocks and front disc brakes, and the cab was reupholstered and upgraded with Vintage Air, a Custom Autosound stereo, an Ididit column, and Dakota Digital gauges.1976 Ford F-250 Custom HighboyBring a TrailerA couple of points deserve attention. The digital odometer shows 454 miles since the refurbishment and total mileage is unknown, so treat it as build miles. As with any restomod, modifications rarely recoup their full cost, and the 390 delivers torque and character rather than big-block power, so set expectations accordingly. It is sold on dealer consignment with a clean Nebraska title, so review the build documentation and get a pre-purchase inspection.1976 Ford F-250 Custom HighboyBring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeFordModelF-250 Custom Highboy 4×4Year1976Mileage454 miles on the buildEngine390-cubic-inch V8PowerNot specified by the sellerTransmission5-speed manualDrive typeFour-wheel drive with dual-range transfer caseExterior colorMetallic BlueInterior colorBlack and blue plaidCurrent bid$60,000, with six days leftInterested in this 1976 Ford F-250 Custom Highboy 4×4? View the listing here.What makes the Highboy uniqueThe "Highboy" nickname refers to the tall, imposing stance of the 1967 to 1977 F-250 4×4, a result of its divorced transfer case sitting the body up high over the axles. That commanding ride height, combined with the handsome, square-jawed styling of the era, has made these trucks genuine icons, and their significance runs deep, since the original Bigfoot monster truck was built on a Highboy foundation. As vintage trucks have surged in collectibility, the Highboy has become one of the most desirable of all, prized for its rugged good looks and go-anywhere capability.1976 Ford F-250 Custom HighboyBring a TrailerThis example takes that iconic foundation and modernizes it thoughtfully, pairing the classic look with a rebuilt V8, the convenience and engagement of a five-speed manual, front disc brakes, and creature comforts like Vintage Air that the original truck never offered. The result is a Highboy that retains all of its vintage charm and presence while being genuinely usable and pleasant to drive, which is exactly what buyers of these trucks increasingly want.My takeThis is a beautifully executed Highboy build, and the quality shows. The comprehensive frame-off work, the tasteful metallic blue finish, the desirable five-speed manual, and the modern comforts add up to a turnkey, usable classic truck with genuine presence, and the strong enthusiast response reflects how well it has been done. For a buyer who wants an iconic vintage 4×4 without the compromises of an unrestored example, it makes a compelling case.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value sits close to $55,000 to $85,000, most likely close to $62,000 to $72,000, reflecting the quality build against the reality that modifications rarely recoup their cost. Before bidding, review the build records, confirm the details of the drivetrain and body work, and get a pre-purchase inspection. Handle that, and this is a striking, usable, and increasingly collectible piece of Ford truck history.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
