Portland, Oregon, United States

WOW !! The LowLiner is up for sale ! After 6 years of fabrication I am offering my 1963 Econoline pickup for sale on Ebay. It is fully restored. The truck is Painted in basecoat/clearcoat ,tropical turqoise blue. It has had many mild custom tricks performed on it . The number one thing is the INTERNET LEGEND " Tumble Down Tailgate" with Ranger latch. It took 37 hours to fabricate this notorious Gate. The truck also has a 2 1/2 inch lower front pan with beedrolled accent line, 4 inch side skirting welded into the stock lower side rail so it appears stock Plus a 1 1/2"rear apron extension. On the box rail the stake pockets have been removed and inner box sides have been scheared,beedrolled and installed, also new steel tubs have been installed with a new floor. The whole thing was then covered in charcoal marine carpet trimmed in dark grey. The floor carpet and pad is removable if you should want to haul something in the box. Inside the cab the interior walls and roof were covered in beedrolled steel panels and the painted basecoat/clearcoat along with the doors and dash. heavy metalflake scallops and white stripping were then overlayed onto the dash and insturment panel. The steering wheel was nicely restored, the seats reupholstered, plus full carpet and pad were layed down. The doors and windows have all new seals,wiskers and anti rattle kits. To top the interior off, I have fabricated a shifting pod for the mustang C4 shifter and cable. For those of you who don't know these econoline pickups, They were BARE BONES units. They were all small 6 cyl engined trucks with 3 speed manual transmissions. They had little or no interior panels or carpet. This truck didn't even have a glove box door or a passenger side sunvisor. There were no inner box sides or rear bumpers. You got very little for very little money,that was the idea. The new powertrain is strong,fresh, and modern. It features a high performance 302 V8 Ford with new Demon carb,Edelbrock intake, and a Crane cam, all the hp parts were selected to give good reliable (Street ) performance . It is a strong reliable and trouble free ride ! I can drive it anywhere and I actually have a few thousand miles on the truck. The rest of the drive train includes a flipped and dropped front axle, a flipped and narrowed 9 "inch ford rearend and C'd rear frame rails. the safety issues have been addressed with a complete brake job, new shocks, new driveshaft Plus the new special edition American racing wheels 16"front and 17" rear Torque thrust wheels, shod in high end BF GoodRich tires. This is indeed a one of a kind truck. It has never been wrecked, has no rust history and was garaged the majority of it's life. I am the third owner of the truck. All the work is done in (STEEL) , there is no plastic,or fiberglass involved in the modification. The complete artistic rendering was done to produce a Long, Low and smooth flowing design that looks like it's factory made. I think I have reached my goal, and now it's for sale to you. Buy it now for $27,500 Thanks everyone for the interest, and good luck to all bidders. Brian

2015 Fisker-Galpin Rocket Quick Spin [w/video]
Fri, Aug 21 2015There is no shortage of fast Mustangs these days. Roush and Saleen will tune your ordinary 'Stang into something really special. Ford itself offers hot coupes like the new Shelby GT350. Don't even get me started on the endless aftermarket catalogs full of bolt-on whats-its and performance upgrades. Standing out within the huge crowd of tuned Mustangs is hard to do. But you'll definitely notice this one. "I always wanted to do a Mustang," Henrik Fisker told me as we walked toward his latest creation, the Rocket, parked outside the Inn at Spanish Bay in Pebble Beach, CA. The man knows a thing or two about design, after all. He penned the BMW Z8, as well as the Aston Martin DB9 and V8 Vantage. But this Rocket is, well, ugly. The rear end isn't totally terrible, and those 21-inch wheels are sort of cool, but taken as a whole, it looks like it swallowed something it doesn't like the taste of. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder – or perhaps, the creator – so we'll let Mr. Fisker explain why the car looks the way it does. See the video below for his brief design walkaround. If you can get past the looks, there's a world of performance to unleash, thanks to the boys at Galpin Auto Sports – the same folks responsible for the GTR1 I drove last year. The Mustang's 5.0-liter V8 gets a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger that improves output to 725 horsepower (the torque figure isn't available), and the car's suspension has been thoroughly reworked to help put all that grunt to the ground. It's very good, yet very familiar. Let me explain. Driving Notes Like the stock Mustang, it's really easy to drive. The car fires up with a growl, you move the shifter into first gear, and the action of engagement is as solid as it is in the normal 5.0-liter car. Both the clutch and throttle have a progressive action, so it's super easy to launch the Rocket (sorry). Once you get going, there's a ton of power to unleash. It doesn't smack you in the face right up front, though – the power delivery is smooth and linear. Easy to manage, too, thanks to that slick six-speed manual transmission. Credit Ford (and Getrag) for making a manual that's able to handle so much extra grunt. That said, the Rocket feels like your typical fast Mustang. It goes like hell in a straight line and there isn't a ton of steering feel. Galpin retuned the electronic power-assisted steering, but it's still too light considering the added power of the car.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
