Original factory Ford Aire Suspension car - 1 of less than 20 retracts ever built, may even be as low as 9.

Pulled this car from a barn where it sat for over 15 yrs with the body suspended off the ground from the ceiling.

car is originally from the spokane washington area and shows it with how solid the metal on the car is.
  • there is some rust on the right rear 1/4 panel and rocker panels. pretty typical for the age.  
  • the floors,inner panels and 1/4 panels are mint. 
  • Trunk lid, doors, roof and hood all in great condition. 
  • the fenders have some rust near the headlights, but these are very repairable fenders compared to many others i have owned and seen.  
  • the engine is the correct 1958 352 4bbl. 
  • the transmission is a correct cruise-omatic
  • there is one rear power window motor missing
  • the compressor for the AIRE Ride suspension is missing. the reserve tank is in great condition and bolted to the passenger inner fender. there are many solenoids and valves still on the frame
  • the recall was never completed on this car from Ford so there are quite a few AIRE Ride pieces left, and the rear trailing arms and coil springs are still there. i have never seen one of these cars without leaf spring suspension until now. 
  • the roof system is complete although motors and limit switches need to be gone through
  • front and rear seats are in the car
this car is extremely solid compared to others i have seen recently, and the factory Ford Aire suspension makes this a very car. you will save thousands on metal and body finish work with this car it is so clean.

Texas plumber shocked his old Ford F-250 is now in terrorists' hands [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Do you ever wonder what the a owner is doing with your vehicle after you trade it in? Mark Oberholtzer of Mark-1 Plumbing in Texas City, TX, has no need to imagine, but it's probably his worst nightmare. That's because an image of his old Ford F-250 is now on Twitter as a gun platform in the Syrian Civil War. While the image only appeared recently, Oberholtzer traded the truck in last November. Somehow since then the F-250 made its way from Texas to Syria. According to a report from television station WHOU, the dealer that took the trade said the pickup immediately went to auction. Unfortunately, along the whole route no one ever took Mark-1 Plumbing's name and phone number off the door. So when the image went up on Twitter, everyone knew whom the Ford previously belonged to. The plumbing company makes it abundantly clear that this whole bizarre situation is simply a coincidence, and it has absolutely no ties to the conflict in Syria. However, that isn't preventing people from phoning the business with angry calls and threats. Things are so bad that Oberholtzer keeps the phones unplugged for relief. Scroll down to watch a video of the guy's flabbergasted reaction to finding out what his F-250 is doing now. This content is hosted by a third party.

The big dune jump and the damage done

Mon, 20 May 2013

The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
