1953 Ford F-100 pickup truck

This truck is all steel.  The top has been chopped 3 inches.  It has a Chevy small block 350 blower motor with a B&M supercharger.  The drive train is from a 70’s era Chevy Nova or Camaro.  The transmission is a 700R4 and a 10 bolt rear end.  The tires are new.  Has power windows and door poppers.  This is a really good driving truck.  The engine and transmission are trouble free to the best of my knowledge. 

I acquired this truck last year and know very little about it.  We have worked on it tweaking some of the problems we observed such as tires, battery, replacement door poppers, rebuilt the alternator.

The truck is painted PEPTO BISMOL PINK inside and out.  This truck was built locally around 15 to 20 years ago.  I believe the gentleman who built it also built a 53 Ford panel truck and painted it the same.  He has since passed away.

I have decided to sell off a lot of “gear head stuff” as I am getting too old and tired to fool with all this anymore and I just don’t seem to have enough time.  I also have a 36 Chevy Sedan Delivery, a couple of Yamaha Wave Runners and a 78 Malibu with a big block I am planning on selling soon.

That is all I really know about the truck.  It is a nice truck and it would cost a fortune to build it the way it is built.  People either love or hate the color.  It has ghost flames on the sides of the front fenders that you may not see in the photos.

I have never sold anything on Ebay before although I have been a buyer for 10+ years.

If you buy this truck it is what is, as is, where is.  I have a perfect rating score on Ebay and want to keep it that way.  If you buy it I require NON-REFUNDABLE  $500.00 deposit via Paypal within 72 hours of the auction ending and arrangements to pick up the truck within 10 days of receipt of the deposit.  The remainder is to be paid in cash.  I understand there are a lot of shady deals with payments and I do not want to be taken advantage of.

The information provided is not warranted.  Some information is assumed as passed along from hear say and some I have deducted from my observations.  I am trying to be as honest as possible regarding what I am describing the truck as being and as to how it is equipped.

If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them as time permits.

It is possible I may withdraw this truck from the auction if I get a response from word of mouth regarding its being for sale.  A lot of people I know and that have heard about it would love to have it but do not have the funds or can not justify purchasing it.

The $500.00 deposit is not refundable.

Thanks for your time!

Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study

Wed, Jul 22 2015

The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car.

Ford shares falling on news of lower-than-expected profits next year

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Ford has released projections for its 2013 profits, along with predictions of its 2014 earnings, and the news has forced the company's stock to stumble, falling over seven percent as of this writing. The Blue Oval is expecting earnings of $8.34 billion for 2013, although the bulk of that is coming largely from its North American operations, as troubles abroad continue to take a toll.
Calling 2013 an "outstanding" year, Ford expects its revenue to be up about 10 percent, thanks to gains in market share everywhere but Europe. But it's 2014 predictions that are causing stock prices to fall, as the Dearborn-based manufacturer expects pre-tax profits to fall to $7 to $8 billion, because of troubles in both Europe and South America, according to a report from Reuters. This is despite an expansion plan that will see it open an additional factory in the southern hemisphere, as well as two plants in China, all in a bid to launch 23 new or refreshed products next year.
The issues in South America aren't so much related to a fall in sales - Ford expects improved profits in Brazil and Argentina - but because of currency devaluations in Venezuela that are projected to cost it around $350 million. While that would still allow it to break even with 2013, Ford cites continued economic risks that could push losses even higher.

Meet Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller, Iowa's latest hatchet-wielding criminal

Fri, Jul 11 2014

Well, we've found the long-lost cousin of yesterday's Bentley-tattooed criminal from Florida. This is Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller. No, seriously. While his name seems just like the sort of thing we'd expect the Sunshine State to produce, he actually hails from Iowa. Despite coming from the Hawkeye State, Miller was arrested for a decidedly Floridian offense – getting in a bar fight and then returning with a hatchet. The only way this story could be more Florida is if meth, a manatee or bath salts were involved. The fight, which was at the Cheap Seats Sports Bar, started off typically enough, with a verbal argument in the parking lot (please, please let his nemesis be named "Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Smith"). This, naturally, attracted passing police officers. Things were broken up and some friends took Miller to his home, which was apparently just behind the bar. That's when he returned with the hatchet tucked under his shirt. Miller promptly proceeded to take out the implement of destruction in the bar's bathroom and... forget about it entirely. Fortunately, the police hadn't left the area yet. Not surprisingly, Miller was arrested for a parole violation, as well as public intoxication and going armed with intent. Still, cool name, bro.
