 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!!

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles

Mon, May 13 2024

It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.

2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty Power Stroke

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

What weighs 30,000 pounds? Big Ben's Westminster bell. A navy ship anchor. Or as we found out during our first drive program for the 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty, seven pallets of cinder blocks loaded onto a dual-axle gooseneck trailer. The test was part of a raft of towing demonstrations that showcased the new Super Duty's impressive tug capacity, which maxes out at 32,100 pounds. That's 1,200 more than its nearest rival, the Ram 3500, when equipped with its upgraded 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8. Such is the heavy-duty pickup truck business, a diesel-fueled game of one-upmanship with only three players: Ford, Chevrolet/GMC and Ram. And in this game, the one with the most torque wins.
Until 2014, Ford was the one to beat, with its 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel bringing 400 hp and a massive 800 lb-ft of torque to the table. Then last year, Ram did exactly that, serving Ford with a beefed-up Cummins turbodiesel inline-six in its freshened Ram Heavy Duty truck line with 385 hp and 850 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to tow up to 30,000 pounds. But Ford claims it had designed its engine to be relatively easy to upgrade when the time called for it, so for 2015, Ford bolted a larger turbo to the Power Stroke, bringing output to an insane 440 hp and 860 lb-ft of twist, all without reducing fuel efficiency. Maximum tow capacity rises from 24,700 lbs to an incredible 31,200 lbs for the F-450 dually.
As for GM's HDs? They lag behind the lot with their 6.6-liter Duramax V-8, producing 397 hp and 765 lb-ft of torque. Yeah, you know things are serious when the trucks with 765 lb-ft are the knock-kneed wimps of the lot.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
