****** Please know, this is a real auction. Please do not bid if you can not pay. I'm only listing this 1 time. Please read my entire description and ask all questions before bidding. If you are the high bidder and the reserve is met, you own the truck. ********



This is a custom F100 from top to bottom, front to back. It's been done for a few years. It runs and drives very well for a truck of this age. I have a stack of pictures a couple inches tall of the truck's build. It comes with a briefcase full of receipts totaling about $70,000.00 and also comes with a partial  quart of the original PPG paint the truck was painted with. 

ENGINE:  is a 1968 460 big block V-8 out of a Lincoln. It was rebuild with an edel brock cam, intake, and carburetor. It also has roller rockers. Exhaust manifolds are stock. 

Transmission:  is a Ford C6, rebuilt with a shift kit.

Frame:  is the original, but has been modified

Suspension: The front is a subbed in VOLARIE IFS torsion bar. The rear is stock leaf spring, lowered with a chrysler 8-3/4 axle. (gears are 3.50-3.73 I'm not a 100% sure which?) The truck also has power steering.

Tires and Wheels: Tires are BFG's 215/60/15 front and 295/50/15 rear. Center Line wheels, 15x8 front and 15x10 rear.

Interior: Custom head liner, door panels, and carpet. Seats are out of 2000 ford F250. DAKOTA DIGITAL dash and Remote door poppers. Power windows, Power Cowl Vent and cruise. Vintage heat and air. (the truck is set up for A/C, I believe I has almost all the parts, but are not all installed and DO come with the truck.) Windows are tinted. Custom center console. Pioneer stereo with 6 disc cd changer. Billet rear view mirror. Colorado customs billet steering wheel. 

Paint and Body Work: Paint and body work are very nice and were professionally done. Exterior paint is PPG dark amethyst base coat clear coat with hand, pin striped old school flames. The frame, axle, and suspension have all been painted with automotive paint and are a medium gray. The truck has a forward tilt hod kit with prop. rod, that makes opening and closing the hood easy compared to the stock springs and hinges.

Everyone wants to know if there is anything wrong with the truck or if there are any defects or things that need attention. So, here is everything I can think of. 1) The truck has been driven, and has had a few tiny rock chips that don't show up in pictures......most have been touched up. 2) the 1/4 windows are original glass and have bubbles between the panes, the passenger side is the worst of the two. 3) as I mentioned above, the truck has most everything for A/C, but is not hooked up. 4) the power steering has a drip when the truck is running( I think it's just a hose clamp on the return line I'm going to try and get to before the auction is over) 5) the valve covers have been painted to match the truck and some paint has flaked off the passenger side valve cover. 

I have described this truck to the best of my ability. I'm human and make mistakes, and I'm sure there are things I fore got. So please ask all questions before bidding.

You can call me on my cell phone @ (651) 775-7887 or message me threw eBay. Friday I will be unavailable by phone from 9a.m. til 5p.m. central time. I'm very busy, so if I don't answer, please leave me a message and I will call you back a.s.a.p.

THANKS!............. Matt

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."
