 1955 Ford F-100
The truck was restored around 10 years ago and has been used as a summer weekend driver since. The body is solid and 99% rust free with orange and metallic purple flames. The paint does have some chips and scrapes/scratches from normal driving use. I have tried to include pictures of any of the imperfections. There are a few small spots where the paint is starting to bubble/crack and show signs of age but all in all I would rate it a 7 out of 10. The interior looks good with gray bucket/bench seat and gray carpet, door panel and headliner. Aftermarket gauges in dash that work. There is a Pioneer stereo and speakers. The stereo worked last year, but currently is not powering up, I believe it is either a blown fuse or loose wire, it shouldn't take much to get working again. There is a floor mounted B&M shifter that is connected to a Th350 trans that shifts smooth and operates properly. All lights operate properly. Wipers are on the truck but do not operate, I am not sure if there is a motor for them. The truck has power steering and  under the hood is a small block Chevy 350 motor with a mild cam in it. On top of the motor is an Edelbrock intake and 600cfm carburetor with electric choke.  It has true dual exhaust out the rear with chrome tips and has a great sound to it. The bed of the truck is solid wood with chrome inserts. The tailgate is currently bolted shut with hinges on the bottom but could easily be converted to operational with a couple of latches installed on the top. The truck is sitting on American Racing wheels, tires have about 50% tread left. There is power disc brakes up front with drum brakes in the rear. All in all, the truck is a great weekend cruiser. Feel free to ask questions. I will try to answer any the best I can.  Thanks

And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
