Selling my brothers 53 f-100 truck has been in the family for almost 30 years! I bought the truck from him with the intentions of fixing it up, but I have other projects that come first and I hate seeing it just sit there. Hopefully someone can get her back on the road and enjoy her! I'm selling this truck as a PROJECT. It DOES runs,but is currently not street worthy until the brakes are fixed. My brother also started to rewire the truck with a painless wiring harness,But it still needs to be cleaned up and dash needs to be finished being wired!!, Headlights,turn signals,brake lights are wired and work. 





Motor is a 351m that was rebuilt some time in 1994, In 2000 my brother added edelbrock intake,edelbrock carb,mallory ignition,aluminum pulleys and a engine dress up kit. Not sure actual miles on engine,(maybe 55k)  It runs strong and sounds healthy (no weird noises) also had power steering added.


Transmission is a C6 and a ford 9" rear end with 4:11 gearing


Body is all steel and was completely stripped to bare metal in 1993 (check pics) the custom tilt front end is ALL steel and has a ton of man hours to make it,Truck was painted trans-am red and its the only paint on there (no surprises) a repaint is going to be needed or keep the 20 year old hotrod patina look!  Body is in really good condition with a few small dents and dings. There is a few rust spots on the truck but nothing major. the worst spot is passenger side rear wheel well where it attaches to the running board,(pics) the other is some superficial spots on the top cab around the windshield (check pics) the tailgate is bent in a few areas and could either be fixed or replaced. Cab is solid i cant see any rust in the known problem areas in the corner or floor boards.


Interior is in decent shape with a bench seat,custom door panels and kick panels. Does not have a headliner. driver side glass has a crack in the top and will need to be replaced ($30 bucks) doors don't shut all the time so i purchased some new strikers to fix the problem, just haven't had time to install them. Has a tilt column out of a 90s chevy with a wood grain steering wheel.


Chassis still retains its original components, It drives straight down the road, but it is a little stiff. Theirs a bunch of different set-ups for the front end these days that are really inexpensive for this kind of truck.


 If you have any questions or want to come check out the truck please feel free to call me @ 818-269-8219 john, Truck is originally from socal and lived 19 years in Nevada and is now back in California. My brother is the second owner and owned it for almost 30 years!!! depoist of $500.00 is do thru paypal within 24hrs of .auction ending. Truck will need to be trailered and is not street worthy yet...Needs breaks! I will help with loading, but buyer is responsible for all shipping cost! thanks Happy bidding!!!

Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.

Traffic fatalities in 2015 see the largest spike in decades.
