You won't believe this truck! Rare 1 ton dually!

Bought at Mecum Auction in 2013 so I did not restore it. However, I will be glad to tell you what I see and have found out.

Serial # on the engine appears to be a match to the VIN # so I have a strong hunch this is the original motor. I took pictures of the serial # on the motor and firewall. You can see some of the last digits clearly match the VIN #. She starts the first time, almost every time. Has a starter advance and throttle on the steering wheel. The only add on that appears not to be original on the dash was a key that had been added to turn the battery on and off. I had to have an old guy show me how to treat her and start her. Once I mastered what she likes, she fires up for me the first time, every time. We start and run her once a week. I have always kept her in the garage and that appears to be where she has spent most of her life before me. I am currently burning marine fuel with octane boost in it.

Interior is in great condition. The seats and doors are done in a black woven material. Carpet is new and appears to be an insert. Windows and front windshield let down and out. Horn blows. Lights come on. Still kept the original 6 volt system.

Wheels are so cool! Seem to have a flat spot on them from sitting in the showroom because the ride is a little rough. Never drove her enough to have a problem with that. I mainly bought it as a prop for my business and then we decided to go a different direction with our advertising.

Truck runs great! The little history we could find said the old girl sat in a showroom of a Ford/Lincoln dealership in Oklahoma City before it went to auction. It appears from the shape she is in, she was there for a long time because of lack of rust. There are a few surface scratches but that's about it. She got a scratch in her paint on the left front fender when it was transported to me in Mobile, Alabama. No dent, just had the paint scuffed. Wanted to point that out.

Bed appears to be made of stained, 2X4 and 2X6 pine boards. Great condition. Never hauled anything so I can't speak to function but it is very sturdy. Cab roof also appears to be wooden, covered in vinyl. Since I bought it after this was installed, this is just what I see. Floorboard is also wooden. From what I have learned after owning this vehicle, wood was used routinely.

This truck is such a solid old truck that I really wouldn't have a problem selling it to my own family if they had a need for her. Hate to part with her but I am moving and will no longer have the great garage to store her. It's kind of like parting with family.

See and hear how she runs in the following YouTube video we shot this morning:

Of course this vehicle is sold, as is, where is with all defects and faults. No warranty expressed or implied.

Jay Leno is far beyond driven in his 1971 Pantera

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Perhaps it's fitting that the band Pantera is known for its heavy metal music, because the DeTomaso Pantera is the automotive equivalent of a metal album. It's short, aggressive and makes a mean sound. It doesn't mess around either, with a Ford 351-cubic-inch (5.75-liter) V8 sending mountains of torque to the rear wheels. This week, Jay Leno takes us on a detailed tour of his '71 to show why it rocks.
There's a regular format to Jay Leno's Garage. It starts with Jay and maybe a guest taking a look at the car and talking about its history, and then they take it out on the open road. However, this video is practically a Pantera buyer's guide. Jay is adamant from the start that the last thing anyone should own is a stock example. To remedy this, he and his guest, the editor of the Pantera Club magazine, take viewers to school about some of the ways to turn them into even better performance machines.
No matter what you do to it, though, the Pantera requires that the driver adapt to it, not the other way around. For example, Jay isn't a big guy by most standards, but he has to cram himself into the cockpit with his shoes off and shirt partially unbuttoned just to go for a drive. Still, once out on the road, it all makes sense with that rumbling V8 and those Italian supercar looks. Scroll down to watch and learn a lot more about this uncompromising '70s performance car.

Ford blimp crashes inside Portland Trail Blazers arena

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Portland basketball fans got a free, very safe recreation of the Hindenburg disaster when a Ford airship crashed into the stands during a game between the Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers. Reportedly no one was hurt, but arena staff trying to push the inflatable vehicle through a hole it was too big for, made for some fantastic video and photos. This content is hosted by a third party.

The first gives an idea of just how hard it was to fit the blimp through the exit of the arena, and the second is a time-lapse look from someone right next to the action. All these clips need is Yakety Sax as background music for some true Internet gold. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
