Up for auction is a great start to a 1946 Ford Pickup restoration project. The Truck retains its original flathead V8 and 3 Speed manual transmission that were rebuilt by the previous owner. I pulled the plugs and it appears that the engine only has assembly lube in it and has not been fired since the rebuild. It turns freely by hand. The same goes for the trans. We pulled the shifter cover and plate off and it is extremly clean and gears appear to be new. We cleaned and painted the exterior of both of them and re-installed. I do not know much about the flatheads so I am not attempting to make it run. It is complete minus exhuast manifolds from air cleaner to oil pan. The chassis is in great shape. It has had new king pins, springs, and steering parts placed. The original shocks were cleaned and re-mounted but not hooked up. It was also sand-blasted and painted. The cab is original sheetmetal. as are the doors fender and hood. All super solid, they recieved minor body work, primed, and painted with a single stage urethane paint. The fenders were done the same but left in a satin black finish. The bed comes with the truck but will need fairly extensive repair, it is not rusty but has obviously been used as a truck in its day. The rear fenders are nearly beyond repair but also come with the truck. I was going to make it a flatbed so none of this was going to be needed anyway. Also coming with the truck is an extra complete rear end and most of the parts to finish up the truck. All of the rubber seals in the cab, weatherstripping, etc. have been replaced with new. New heater hoses, the heater box was gone through and yes it does work when hooked up to a battery. The wiring harness appears to be new or an unbelievable original. New tail lights, plexiglass windows, and hoses. I also have new faces for the gauges in all the receipts for the new products. What it pictured is what you get. I have a clear title in hand. Call or text for more info 765-376-3486 Thanks and happy bidding!!

Carfection looks for the ultimate pocket rocket
Fri, Mar 18 2016If there's one thing we love, it's a good showdown. Especially when it's on video, done by some Englishmen, and involving some manner of performance machinery. Like this latest clip, for example, from Carfection. The team formerly known as Xcar have assembled three very compelling supermini hot hatches: two we can get on our side of the pond, and one we can't. One American, one Frenchman, and one Brit. One cheap, one expensive, and one somewhere in between. They all pack turbo fours, of course, but placed in entirely different packages. There's the evergreen favorite Ford Fiesta ST, the Renault Clio RS 220 Trophy that should have the rest licked, and the retro rocket that is the Mini JCW. And there's only one way to find out which is the best. It's a tough contest, to be sure, but lest you think it all comes down to specifications or which one's the newest, you'll want to think again. Because when it comes to hot hatches, all the electronic gizmos and power boosts in the world can't show up a perfectly dialed-in chassis that lets you hug the curves and feel like you're going a lot faster than you actually are. But don't take our word for it – see what our British friends have to say about it in the Queen's English in the seventeen-minute clip above. Related Video:
How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]
Fri, 30 May 2014Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.
2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang debuts at Lagun Seca
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Saleen used the occasion of the race-fueled Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to announce its new Heritage Collection Lineup. The event was punctuated with the debut of the collection's first member, the 2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang.
Follmer's name will likely sound familiar to fans of American racing in the 1960s and '70s. The driver competed in Formula One with the Shadow team in 1973, ran the Indianapolis 500, was the Can-Am champion in 1972 and drove stock cars in NASCAR's Winston Cup as well. The multi-disciplined driver is now one of three -the other two being Mark Donohue and Swede Savage - with the honor of upcoming, limited edition Saleen-tuned vehicles..
