1935 Ford V8 flathead pickup. partial restoration was started by original owner probably about 30 years ago? with some work to the cab and rear fenders . We would categorize this wonderful old truck as well preserved , in not running condition. No serious rust. Repair replacement Parts for these old pickups are very easy to get and many speed shops have any part you need from A to Z. we tried to clean it up so buyer can see everything down to the original "Henry Ford" steel !. Truck is solid and the doors close like a bank vault. A nice old 79 year old survivor ! many parts we worked on were professionally carefully sand blasted down to original bare metal. The High performance Mercury 8CM engine came with the truck. we were told it was a rare "4 Stroker 8CM Mercury V8 flathead. which was the engine everyone wanted back in the 1930's -1950's. "Bonnie and Clyde exclusively used the large HP V* flathead due to its power ! we were told that the crank alone on this engine is worth $900++ and that these amazing power plants can fetch $5000 and more when rebuilt for the flathead racing market.. This truck is a real attention getter..as they are so rare folks flock to see it...
Some parts on the truck may be missing,.. its not 100% but looks incredible! We cleaned it up and had it on display until recently. A real head turner for sure . motor looks sweet but will really need rebuilding and condition is honestly unknown. truck had been converted at one time to "Juice" modern hydraulic brakes, and 12 volt system (battery included)...it will need master cylinder and wheel cylinders either replaced or rebuilt. Truck has never been chopped etc. we sand blasted everything we could (down to metal ) and applied a preservation coat of paint in preparation for long time dry storage. Any dents or dings, normal cracks were purposely not repaired for the simple reason we wanted NO BONDO on any of the parts were preserved, ......VIN *Number on TITLE AND FRAME ARE MATCHING 1935 ..buyer is responsible for shipping and nothing will leave the garage until full payment is made...cash or cashiers check only with $500 paypal non refundable deposit required within 12 hours following end of auction. Clear title ..a great head start for someone looking for that entry level restoration or a daily driver or RAT ROD! the cool factor is truly off the hook with these old 35-36 pickups..nothing compares !!

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.

eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype

Wed, 08 May 2013

Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.
