West Henrietta, New York, United States
|
Your looking @ a great Barn find 1949 Ford F-100 Rat rod with amazing Patina..This truck has the look, the body is all original with no previous repair or body work, has normal farm truck dings and dents (lt box side crease, looks cool!). It's difficult to call it a Rat rod, its not piece mailed together with odds and ends from the shop, this truck was pulled from a barn 2 years ago in Tennessee, it was sitting in the barn for over 30 years untouched. The floors are in good shape (90%), the truck is pretty solid with the normal areas that would need attention; cab corners, bottom portion of fender, absolutely workable, these areas need no attention the way the truck sits is perfect for it's look. Frame is solid, with no issues! The most amazing part about this truck is how great the Patina is, each time I clean the body the better it looks, if you look at the photo's you will see the change, the results each time are noticeable...
I have this truck set up on a 3 year plan that is being made very difficult to complete with my wife, my Stage 1 is complete so far..., Stage 1 listed below::-) All of this was done by a master re-builder (Willy B-well known in Rochester) not a back yard guy::-)) Complete overhaul on front suspension with a 4" SIDS dropped axle (sits low, no issues), custom made tie rod tube and steering link from box to arm, new leaf springs, new disc brake front, drum rear with all new lines and hardware, done professionally, looks and feels great, new shocks, freshly rebuilt straight 6 that appears to be out of a late 60's Mustang, with a C4 transmission (shifts great), new timing chain, this motor runs amazing, almost to good to remove that's why I left it in at this stage, reconditioned rear end out of a late 57 Chevy; unsure on gears thinking mid 3's runs 60 mph, plan is to change to low 3's or high 2's to increase high way speed, lug pattern changed to Chevy to accommodate more wheel options (cheaper parts etc..), brand new 15" Coker white wall tires with brand new Gennie steel wheels freshly base clear painted red ($1600), straight pipe exhaust from manifold no muffler (sounds cool!), new wiring harness with fuse block, all outside lights work perfectly passes state inspection, wiring in cab ready for music (not done yet), new radiator to accommodate a 8 cyl, new alternator, battery, new trans lines, new fuel lines ran to fuel cell, fuel tank mounted in bed to give more in cab space, I'm 6 foot wanted more cab space, all new glass with factory tint smoke, new window seals, door glass operates perfectly, no leaks or wind noise (at least from the glass, lol), removed battery from motor compartment, mounted in cooler in bed for look and to give me more room in the motor compartment for next motor, old barn construction wood mounted in bed (looks great!). I have over $6K invested in (stage 1) all listed above (this does not include truck purchase), I have a folder with all invoices on all listed...I am still working on it as we speak, and wont stop... Right now it's registered and driven any chance I can, it's road worthy and passed NY state inspection ...after finishing everything listed above I took this on a 200 mile road trip to the Syracuse Nationals with no issues, the truck rides and runs great with no major issues, so much fun to drive, people love it and want to talk every were I go.. My next Stage would be to AIR Bag's with a mustang II front end complemented with a 4 link rear, finish the interior to new, I'm thinking another $4-5 k this truck will be perfect. I don't have to sell, I'm trying to appease the wife right now, the timing and patience for completion is off right now, if it does not sell I will finish it and enjoy it... Please call Matt with any questions, I am willing to help arrange shipping, I have resources through the company I used to transport from Tennessee. My reserve is set below my Buy it Now, Good LUCK, do not hesitate to call. This truck is not for sale locally, I do have the right to end this auction early if someone approaches me locally and offers me the right price.. I'm located 5 mins outside of Rochester NY>> 60 miles East of Buffalo 585.7two one. 9 nine three six ::-)) Cell Call me rather than sending messages through Ebay.. or email mrmotoman306@yahoo.com Thanks for looking!! |

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang to cost $52,995?
Mon, Dec 1 2014The 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang was one of the shining stars of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. And the Blue Oval's latest muscle car might even have reason to burn a little brighter if a recent rumor about its price proves true. Best of all are rumors that an even more potent version of the Shelby is potentially on the way. According to Horsepower Kings citing unnamed Ford sources at the LA Auto Show, the 2015 GT350 carries a starting price of $52,995, and the Tech package adds a further $2,995 on top of that. There's also the claim of a Track package for an undisclosed price. However, it doesn't look like LA is the last we'll see of the newest Shelby because the source also alleges that a top-rung GT350R is under development with bigger brakes, modified aerodynamics and sportier tires. This rubber-burner is reported to be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. Assuming these claims are correct, it puts the Shelby in fighting form against its two Chevrolet Camaro rivals. Ford reports that the GT350's 5.2-liter V8 pumps out over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. At $52,995, it would undercut by a couple of grand the $55,505 (before destination) base price of the 580-hp 2015 ZL1. The super 'Stang might also beat the 505-hp Z/28 with its power rating, while being vastly cheaper than the track-focused Camaro's $72,305 price. This could be quite the performance shoot-out.
Peel and Ford Transit do a great Austin Powers impression
Tue, May 6 2014It's no secret that the average fullsize cargo van is big. Like, really big. Expressing that size, though, without actually seeing the van in question, is a pretty tall order. When viewed from the right angle, even something as big as a cargo van can appear very small (look up forced perspective, to see what we mean). That's why it's always good to have a second object on hand, to provide a sense of scale. Ford took this simple idea to the extreme, illustrating the size of the new Ford Transit by pulling the world's smallest production car, the Peel P50, nose first into the van's 487-cubic-foot cargo area. That's no big deal, though, right? After all, at just 54 inches long and 39 inches wide, the Peel would fit quite happily in even the smallest fullsize truck bed. Ford takes it a step further, though. With the help of an actual reverse gear (we're guessing this is a CVT-equipped, electric model), the P50 manages to turn itself around and drive out. It does this in less than two minutes. So yeah, the Ford Transit is a pretty big van. Take a look below for the video from Ford. This content is hosted by a third party.
