I have a very nice one of a kind hotrod here. It would be great for any type of owner. Maybe you want a daily driver that is dependable? This car is just that. Maybe you want to show it at your local events? Boy do the heads turn and beauty beyond belief on the under carriage. All kinds of custom work has been done to make this project stand out. The interior is out of a 1968 Mustang. The dash was custom fit. The seats and all interior were done in a tan color. All door trim /window trim even the windshield frame is chrome. The steering column gets most of the attention with its twist cap telescopic & Tilt wheel. Windows tinted a smoke color. The top has been chopped 3 1/2". The suspension is all Independent front and rear. 4:11 Posi in the rear. It came out of a 1964 Corvette. It has all been chromed. The front is also all chromed and it is out of a 1965 Corvair. It has power steering. The motor is out of a 1993 5.0 Mustang. It has been left stock. The whole thing has been polished. The valve covers, EFI upper. It has a newer Walker radiator just over a year old. The fire wall is chrome. Under the hood looks as good as the rest of the car. The rear fenders are the extra wide fiberglass to cover the tire. The running boards tapper to fit. The front fenders are also fiberglass. The wheels and tires are like new and again custom and chrome.

1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake

Thu, 08 May 2014

Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
