1950 FORD PICKUP (NOT FOR SUNDAY DRIVING)

You are looking at a 1950 Ford Pickup that is anything but standard or run of the mill.  I have to give a little background to this vehicle before describing it.  This was my father n laws truck.  He wanted something that would burn the tires and go real fast and he wanted something different.  He used to race NHRA back in the mid to late sixties and early seventies.  He had been working on this truck for several years trying to complete it and finally did.  Unfortunately the truck was completed several weeks before he passed away.  He died of cancer last October and was too sick to actually see the truck before he passed away.  I am selling the truck for my mother n law.

OTHER INFORMATION:

Nova Front Stub

Rebuilt Turbo 400 Transmission using performance rebuild kit

Ford 9 inch differential

B&M Pro Stick Shifter

Mickey Thompson Tires

Centerline racing rims

Battery and gas tank placed in .40 aluminum fabricated bed of truck
 
The engine and Transmission have less than 30 miles on them (just enough to get it home from the shop that finished it). 
 
Now for some of the bad:
 
This vehicle has some rough spots on the body.  I tried to show all "bubbles" from rust under the paint.  The paint itself is a little rough and there are also some scratches that I tried to show.  The passenger side door doesn't open from the outside.  Some of the gages inside don't work - I only drove it from the garage that put it together to my father n law's garage.  I will be happy to answer any questions about the truck (309-337-6322).  The bottom line is that he wanted something to go real fast and wasn't worried about how it looked initially. 
 
A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due within 48hrs of the final winning bid.  I can also help arrange local shipping if needed but buyer is responsible for cost of shipping.  If you are not satisfied with purchase I can arrange to refund the $500.00 deposit.  Like I said I am doing my best in describing a vehicle I know little about.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?

Ford picks Fiesta ST, Transit Connect as this year's SEMA darlings

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

SEMA is more than nine months away, but the reveille bugle for the show has just sounded with Ford's call to aftermarket companies for its project-vehicle program. The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST and 2014 Transit Connect van and wagon are the cars The Blue Oval wants to feature, but applicants can submit project vehicles for any product except the GT500, the Raptor, or anything from Lincoln.
Submissions must be completed in two parts, the first being an email to Ford with an overview of the project, like vehicle theme, promotional plan and location display. The second part must be mailed in on company letterhead and gets down to the nuts and bolts of the vision and the provision of company bona fides. The complete proposal is due on March 1, winners will be notified by May 1. Click the link below to get all the details, and for show attendees, get ready to see some funky Fiestas and wild shaggin' wagons in Las Vegas come November.
