1956 Ford F-100.  California truck, produced in San Jose.  Spent its life in California until 2000 when I purchased it in totally original condition.  Shortly after purchasing this truck I delivered it to Fatman Fabrications in Charlotte, NC where Fatman himself oversaw the build of my truck.  The truck was repainted its orginal Torch Red color and a tan interior was selected with black carpet.  A Mustang II style IFS Fatman (stage II) stainless front-end was installed into a boxed front frame along with the following components:

  • 320 HP Ford Racing 302 GT-40 Crate engine
  • Edelbrock Performer manifold & 4-barrel carburetor
  • Ford Motorsport Headers
  • Ford Motorsport Starter
  • Holley electric fuel pump
  • Pertronix electronic ignition
  • Cool Craft Aluminum radiator (new in 2012)
  • Ford 4-speed AOD trans. built by TPI Performance with B&M shift kit
  • Lokar Ford AOD kick-down kit
  • Perma-Cool trans oil cooler
  • 9" Ford rear end
  • Flowmaster dual exhaust
  • IDIDIT tilt steering column
  • AutoMeter gauges & clock
  • Vintage A/C-blows cold
  • Electric windshield wipers
  • American Racing Torque Thrust II chrome wheels & BF Goodrich tires
  • All-new wood bed with marine varnish
  • All-new steel bed sides, tailgate & new taillights
  • All-new rear "hugger" style chrome bumper
  • Re-chromed original front bumper & grill
  • New windshield
  • Many other miscellaneous improvements too numerous to list.

This truck has only covered 1,350 miles since it was built/completed in 2004.  It has been started or driven monthly and is adult owned/driven and never smoked in.  It has always been garaged and oil changes completed every 6 months.  Over $60K invested.  Selling to make room in my garage and let someone else enjoy this great truck.

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.

Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.

Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.
