This pickup could be your next daily driver.

What? When I first built this pickup I drove it almost 100 miles daily. It's been from my home in Longview WA to Santa Maria CA (West Coast Kustoms Cruisin Nationals) twice which is a 2000 mile round trip. On long highway trips like that it gets 18-19 miles per gallon. The pickup has been on the road since 2006 but was recently torn down for paint and to finish upholstery.

Wheels are 15" from a 1951 Plymouth. Fronts are stock (4 1/2") and rears were widened 1/2".
Front tires (B.F. Goodrich Silvertown 6.00 X 15) are new. Rear tires are Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.00 X 15 and are in great shape.
Engine was completely rebuilt. Bored .040 over, heads ported, RV grind on cam from Hot Heads, balanced and stock compression.
Carburetors are Holley 94s from Vintage Speed.
Electronic ignition.
Aluminum radiator
T5 Camero 5 speed transmission.
Front disk brakes.
Cab was chopped 5" and A pillars were laid back to give it a Bonneville/lakester look. Rear window wasn't chopped, just repositioned, floor was made from formed and fabricated 10 gauge steel.
Exhaust is 2 1/4" out the back with glasspacks.
Steering box is original but completely rebuilt. The old worm gear became the new shifter knob.
Original bed was shortened and new stake pockets added.
Bed cover was made from on old tin canopy.
Gas tank and Optima battery are in the bed.
Hood was pie cut to narrow the front; then nosed downwards to give the front end a nice rake.
Rodall Performance air cleaners.
All red upholstery is leather. Some paint transfer from doors are on the side of the seat bottoms.
Ashtray is from a 1935 Ford (rotating ball with V8 symbol embossed on outside).
Original frame with VIN easily seen. Makes licensing a lot easier.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid

Thu, 02 May 2013

No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.

Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany

Sat, 29 Jun 2013

Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.

Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.
