1962 Ford F100 F-100 Swb V8 351 Windsor Shop Truck, Rat Rod, Resto Mod Patina on 2040-cars
Here is another from my collection, I like this one the most of any I have had and I know it will make someone else a great ride !
Awesome shop truck painted to look like the old school patina. Smurph blue wet sanded down to give that flat sheen and expose some under the paint character. The paint is slick, I posted some up close pics just for you to see the patina. The truck runs super strong with a 351 Windsor mated to an automatic transmission with a B&M console shifter. The engine has Speedway Motors engine mounts up front done the right way, cammed, headers, dual mufflers flexalite fan, tranny cooler and ready to rock. Brand new battery, coil, points, condensers,regulator, starter, alternator, and brand new Cragar wheels and tires 225 16 up front and 255 16 out back, brand new paint and bed liner make this thing look really cool, the interior is super clean. I have wet sanded all of the doors and jams. I also replaced the front end pieces with 1966 pieces that I had on another truck, I liked the looks better now for sure. This is not a dirty old farm truck, I like clean and nice vehicles. Glass is all good and super clear, just a cool old shop truck or cruiser. Runs Awesome, the 351 Windsor is an excellent motor, you can get sideways in it any time you'd like. Just had a full tune up as well. The brake pads up front are all new, really is a cool truck, I know I will miss it. |

2013 Ford Mustang V6
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Secretary Trim, Evolved
There was a time not so long ago when opting for a base Ford Mustang meant getting little more than some sheetmetal, an anemic four-cylinder engine and what may very well have been the world's most disappointing automatic transmission. During the Fox Body years, Ford seemed hell-bent on living up to Carroll Shelby's derogatory description of the coupe as little more than a runabout for demure office assistants, and the result was a base model with fewer sporting intentions than a Dilbert day calendar.
Some 20 years later, hopping behind the wheel of an entry-level pony is an entirely different experience. With all of the menacing aesthetics of the brawnier GT, a well-equipped interior and a drivetrain that toes the line between efficiency and power better than few before it, the 2013 Ford Mustang V6 is an attractive option for buyers in the big coupe market. But is it attractive enough to forgo the beastly GT?
Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.
Ken Block hoons his Ford F-150 RaptorTrax on the slopes
Wed, 08 Oct 2014Ken Block drives Fords. Hoons the heck out of 'em, actually. Mostly Fiestas, but also the occasional Focus or Mustang. But earlier this year, the Gymkhana guru revealed his baddest Ford yet: an F-150 SVT Raptor on tracks. And true to form, here he is putting it to the test in the latest video from Monster Energy and Hoonigan Racing.
Filmed at Baldface Lodge in Nelson, BC, the video pairs Block up with snowboarders Zak Hale and Ethan Deiss for some deep-powder action. You'll want to watch the video for yourself, but the bottom line is that the RaptorTrax beats the heck out of waiting on line for the ski lift. It's enough to make us start to look forward to winter... almost.
