1974 F-100 Super Cab Barn Find
Survivor One Family Owned truck
No rust very solid

This is the story I got on this awesome rare super cab one owner truck
It was bought brand new in 1974. Same old man owned it all the way up until 2012 when he got sick and was having health problems. At that point due to insurance purposes the truck was removed from his name and put in another family members name. So to me its still a one owner since it stayed in the same family. I found the truck parked in an old garage and it had been sitting there for the last four years untouched. The gas in the tank was so dead I was suprised it would even crank. The previous owner has done some work on it and I have done some work as well. I am going to do my best to describe the truck as accurate as possible. This is a rare truck that is a super cab and has factory a/c, power steering, power brakes, and is a solid rust free body. I havent seen a bit of rust anywhere. It still needs some work but you will not find a better truck to start with anywhere than this one for the money.  Here is a list of parts I can see new that the previous owner done to the truck
New radiator
New starter
New solonoid 
New Battery

I have added the following parts
New plugs
New wires
New fuel filter on the carb
Cleaned the carb with spray carb cleaner
Fresh gas
The truck will fire and run but it still has a terrible miss and is making a pecking noise on the top end. Not sure if its lifters or rockers or what. I ran the firing order and it is all right as far as I can tell. The truck is still missing bad. So I would recommend hauling or towing it to your home. The dead gas could still be an issue not sure.  If I had to guess I would say it would be best to rebuild the engine. I also noticed the heater core is leaking so I unhooked the heater hoses and hooked them together to let them recirculate. I also noticed the master cylinder is leaking so it will need a new one of those. I priced a new booster and master at Autozone for $99. The body is almost flawless. The previous owner said the truck was repainted about 10 years ago. The paint doesnt look bad and with a good buff job would probaly clean up and look good. The passenger front fender has a dent from the old man hitting something before he stopped driving it the family member was not sure what he bumped with it. Looks like you could pop most of it out with a little work. The rear part of the bed on the passenger side also has a bump from the old man and it knocked off the lower trim piece. Other than those two areas there is a small dent in the roof that would be easy to pop out. Those are the only places I have seen. I crawled all under the truck and its as solid as it was the day it rolled off the showroom floor. I have took pictures from all angles of the truck for everyone to see. The interior is almost perfect. The rear seat looks as if no one as ever been back there. The headliner is nice and the front seat has a cover on it. I noticed one little area under the cover on the drivers side from people getting in and out other than that the front seat appears in great shape. The truck has a rubber mat down on the floor with the original rubber floor mat. The owners manual and all books are also included. This truck is sold as is where is with no warranties written or implied. Again this is a solid one owner truck and would make a great restoration project for someone. Like I said the engine needs some attention. I am not a motor man but just what I see and think it would be best to rebuild it or change to another engine.  The blower motor for the heat and air is not working it may be a fuse but I have not checked it. Everything else appears to be working all the gauge lights headlights tailights interior light horn etc all works. If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures just email or call or text. I will be glad to send them to you. Thanks and good luck bidding. 828-217-2546

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.
