 1952 Ford F1 Chop Top Rat Rod!

Please make sure it's a custom rat rod that you want and you will find the hardest work is done! This truck is a sweet set up if you love this look. It takes a ton of work to get them to this stage. It is sold as is, where is. Please come see it, have it checked, ask questions! I have let this thing sit for two years and am just not getting to it as a project so it's time to free up the space.

Nonrefundable $500 deposit due within 24 hours, balance due in cash, cashier's check, or bank transfer. Please do not bid if you do not have immediate funds available.

This is a bad to the bone chop top pick-up! 1952 was the year Ford had the "teeth" grill which you can see looks very cool when set up low like this one.
  • It has a roller 5.0 302 engine with about 30 pounds of oil pressure at idle and 50 cruising.
  • It has a Holley 500cfm 2 barrel and dual flows.
  • Single traction rear end mated to a rebuilt AOD overdrive trasmission
  • A 69 Camaro clip, Ford 9 inch rear end
  • Tilt GM column
  • Power steering and power brakes!
  • Stereo and heater
  • Clear title in my name
  • Yes, the gas tank in the back is a beer keg that holds 15 gallons!
It has a receiver hitch so you can tow if you want. Glass front and back, and plexi side windows that need replacing (See pics, I will include the side window templates if you want to have glass cut - it's flat glass)

IMPORTANT NOTES:
  • Buyer is responsible for all shipping/pick-up
  • This is a rat rod, not a restored truck. How much work you want to do is up to you. It is right now, a 25 footer (the closer you get from 25 feet the less perfect it looks!).
  • I went out last week charged the battery (1 year old), topped off the radiator, oil, transmission, and bled the brakes. Started her up and ran her down the road and back. Please copy/paste this link in your browser to see video:
  • She starts, drives, turns, the brakes and power steering work great. the transmission works in drive and reverse, but is not shifting. I will take it out again this week see if that changed, but you should assume it will need attention on the transmission, and a tune up.
IF you choose "Buy It Now" I will include a spare set of inner fenders (see pics) and an original set of correct running board brackets. If you don't buy it now, I will list those two things in separate auctions.

Finally, you are buying it as is, where is, and I have tried to describe the good, the bad, and the ugly. Please ask questions and check it out, make sure its what you want before bidding. Thanks!!

Leno talks racing with NASCAR racer Joey Logano

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Jay Leno has to be under significant pressure knowing the appetite his fans have for a new Jay Leno's Garage video every week. This time, Jay takes a break from his usual format (something he's been doing with some frequency as of late) and goes back to his roots as a talk show host. There's no classic in the garage his episode with an interesting story to tell and a sumptuous exhaust note. Instead, the focus is purely on interviewing 23-year-old NASCAR racer Joey Logano about what it's like to be a racecar driver in his Ford Fusion.
Logano started racing at the tender age of six and has risen up the circle-track ranks to the big show of the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The two of them talk about what it's like to compete in the sport today compared to yesteryear, and Logano shares some racing anecdotes. Of course, they also get into what it's like to be on the racetrack controlling a car with about 850 horsepower, a four-speed manual transmission and brakes without any power boost. Scroll down to watch the video.

Need for Speed movie casts Mustang in hero car role

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Dreamworks Studios, Electronic Arts and Ford Motor Company announced today that the Ford Mustang will play the lead hero car role in the upcoming Need for Speed movie, slated to hit theaters next February. Of course, the Mustang didn't audition for the role like we imagine the film's star, Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, might have. Rather, Ford and Dreamworks struck a partnership deal that meant the Mustang could skip the casting couch. The deal will also see the film's universe populated with other Ford products (gratuitously so, we're guessing), and the automaker will also help the studio promote the video-game-turned-movie next year.
The hero car in question is a special one-off Mustang created by Ford that is making its debut at the E3 video game trade show as we speak. Powered by a supercharged V8 and apparently based on the Shelby GT500, the car's been modified with a widebody kit, 22-inch wheels, larger air intakes and twin hood nostrils. Ford also provided the film's production with an F-450 truck that will be called "The Beast" in the film's story, and a second Mustang to be used during filming as a camera car.
The Mustang's movie career is really taking off, with news of its Need For Speed casting closely following last week's release of the trailer for Getaway, a movie coming out in August that stars Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and another Shelby GT500. In addition to Aaron Paul and a modified Mustang, the Need For Speed movie also stars Michael Keaton (cop, we're guessing) and Dominic Cooper (villain, we're guessing), and is directed by Scott Waugh, who directed the Navy SEAL film Act of Valor in 2012.
