In a world filled to the brim with gift cards and pre-assembled holiday baskets for coffee and tea addicts, sometimes it’s nice to get a unique gift that really says, “You. Yeah, you. I know what you’re all about.”
OnAllCylinders is all about giving gifts that speak to the heart, just so long as that heart belongs to a die-hard automotive enthusiast. Someone who lives life a quarter-mile at a time. Someone who bleeds race gas and breathes exhaust fumes. (Metaphorically. Please don’t actually breathe exhaust fumes.)
But here’s the thing: auto parts can get a bit pricey. Shocker, we know. Also, many are designed to fit specific applications and may not work with existing upgrades, which makes it difficult to just haphazardly pick out items without knowing the ins and outs of the vehicle in question.
You could simply ask the person what they need, but then you run the double risk of spoiling the surprise and getting stuck leafing through a long list of parts that don’t fall within your budget. So what do you get for a gearhead that is affordable, meaningful, and shows forethought?
We’re here to help with that.
This year, OnAllCylinders will run a series of buyer’s guides meant to point you toward gift ideas appropriate for the automotive-obsessed people in your life. In this installment, we’re covering 10 gift ideas for Ford enthusiasts.

The 427 SOHC “Cammer” engine topped with the blower was definitely great looking when tucked between the frame rails of a front engine Top Fuel Dragster. The 8000 horsepower figure in 1967 as indicated in the description might be a little on the optimistic side but hey, who’s counting ?
I have a Ford Motorsport lightweight windbreaker jacket that looks pretty good. Especially considering I received it as a gift 32 years ago. It’s built Ford Tough !
