1970 Ford F100 Custom- Mach I Muscle Truck-*all Gas -no Monkey * Frame Off Resto on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
This has been a great project. I've been faithful in every way I could in restoring this truck to original, while also updating it with a seriously Custom new look. This truck has a solid 351 Cleveland engine ( from a Mach 1 Mustang 1971) with tons of power and running perfectly. It has a three speed on the floor with a B & M shifter and shifts smooth. Lays down rubber for Half a block. A few new parts ( freeze plugs, alternator , battery, battery cables ,voltage regulator) , and a tune up/ oil change were the first thing done. Then the truck got a New dual exhaust system from front to back with Dynomax Super Turbo Mufflers, New 3" pipe and chrome tips, taken out the sides right behind the rear wheels.
I completely dis-assembled the truck and sand-blasted the entire cab , cut out any rust spots a had them re-welded in with 16 gauge steel. Then I eliminated the rear bumper and welded in a custom roll pan for that tucked-under look. Also got a new grill, billet inserts and a brand new chrome bumper. new front signal lights, and new lenses in the back. Then it came to the brakes and steering. New wheel cylinders , brake lines, rag joint , I beam bushings, tie rods, axle pivot bushings, Brake pads. Steering is solid as a rock and brakes are tight. I ripped out the whole interior and painted white - re upholstered the seat with new burlap , foam , and a new custom Red/ Maroon vinyl seat cover. Fatmat insulation installed to reduce road / engine noise. New Red carpet, Headliner, New gauges (aircraft style) and a steel gauge panel from a 1967 F-600 complete the interior. New windsheid, rubber gaskets on all windows and doors+ plus new tracks and felt guides on the door windows. The truck got a set of American Eagle Racing Aluminum 5 spoke spades 15 Wheels and sits nice and low on the R245s. This truck is cherry, No rust anywhere, period. Painted engine compartment red, and painted the motor original Ford Cleveland Blue. Then I took the truck into paint with a smooth Rainbow Flake over Gloss Black paint job that pops eyes out of their sockets wherever it goes. The paint is amazing in person and everyone who sees it cant stop talking about it. I got the idea for the paint scheme from a R/T Charger I saw online , and Ive never seen another one like it. This truck is being classified as a Starter Hot Rod. Because it could be taken further with A/C , stereo, ect. But I will leave that to the next owner. I will add more photos soon, as I am still installing new parts; I have put on New door handles, locks and windshield wipers since I took these pics. I have a new original radio antennae that will be installed. I was inspired by a favorite TV show of mine , you know the one where they customize classic cars and drink beer. Pretty much the same thing went down in my shop. I unleashed a team of metal maniacs on this beast and turned her into the beauty you see before you. It took my 1 year to do all this and hundreds of hours of labor. Im sure the new owner will appreciate the attention to detail. Make a serious offer and I will seriously consider it. But please don't make offers if you are not sure about it or don't have the money right now. Buying a classic car is serious business. This is a seriously bad-ass truck. |

This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car
Thu, 02 Jan 2014You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
Lincoln electric SUV to use Ford-backed Rivian's 'skateboard' chassis
Wed, Nov 27 2019DETROIT — A battery-powered Lincoln SUV, due in mid-2022, will be the first Ford Motor Co. vehicle built on a custom electrified chassis that resembles a skateboard, which was developed by Ford-backed startup Rivian, according to several people familiar with the program. The all-wheel-drive Lincoln SUV could compete against Rivian's R1S, an electric sport utility vehicle slated to go into production in early 2021 that will be priced from $72,500. Both models will use Rivian's so-called skateboard, a flexible platform that combines electric motors, batteries, controls and suspension. On Tuesday, Ford declined to comment. Rivian did not respond to a request for comment. The new Lincoln, which carries the internal program code U787, also could compete with premium offerings from others, including General Motors Co <GM.N>, which plans to introduce at least two new electric SUVs by 2023, one for Cadillac and one that could revive the Hummer name, sources have said. Ford invested $500 million in Rivian this year and plans to help it begin production next year at a former Mitsubishi plant in Normal, Illinois. When Ford made the investment, it said it would use Rivian's skateboard to develop its own electric vehicle, but did not disclose details. It is not clear where Ford intends to build the Lincoln SUV, which will be among the first of several battery-powered utility vehicles planned for Ford's premium brand in North America and China, according to supplier sources familiar with those programs who asked not to be identified. Ford expects to introduce a compact Lincoln electric crossover in late 2021 or early 2022 and a mid-size companion in 2023, the sources said. The U.S. auto industry plans to invest billions of dollars over the next few years to build all-electric pickups and SUVs, sectors of the market that have been among the most profitable, especially for Detroit-based automakers. But analysts have questioned whether demand from consumers and commercial customers will come close to matching production. Founded in 2009, Rivian has raised $1.9 billion from investors, including e-commerce giant Amazon, which has ordered 100,000 electric delivery vehicles from Rivian. The first Amazon vans will be built in Normal and are to be delivered in 2021. Ford aims to sell an electric F-series pickup in late 2021, sources have said.
