Your looking @ a great Barn find 1949 Ford F-100 Rat rod with amazing Patina..This truck has the look, the body is all original with no previous repair or body work, has normal farm truck dings and dents (lt box side crease, looks cool!). It's difficult to call it a Rat rod, its not piece mailed together with odds and ends from the shop, this truck was pulled from a barn 2 years ago in Tennessee, it was sitting in the barn for over 30 years untouched. The floors are in good shape (90%), the truck is pretty solid with the normal areas that would need attention; cab corners, bottom portion of fender, absolutely workable, these areas need no attention the way the truck sits is perfect for it's look. Frame is solid, with no issues! The most amazing part about this truck is how great the Patina is, each time I clean the body the better it looks, if you look at the photo's you will see the change, the results each time are noticeable...
I have this truck set up on a 3 year plan that is being made very difficult to complete with my wife, my Stage 1 is complete so far..., Stage 1 listed below::-) All of this was done by a master re-builder (Willy B-well known in Rochester) not a back yard guy::-)) Complete overhaul on front suspension with a 4" SIDS dropped axle (sits low, no issues), custom made tie rod tube and steering link from box to arm, new leaf springs, new disc brake front, drum rear with all new lines and hardware, done professionally, looks and feels great, new shocks, freshly rebuilt straight 6 that appears to be out of a late 60's Mustang, with a C4 transmission (shifts great), new timing chain, this motor runs amazing, almost to good to remove that's why I left it in at this stage, reconditioned rear end out of a late 57 Chevy; unsure on gears thinking mid 3's runs 60 mph, plan is to change to low 3's or high 2's to increase high way speed, lug pattern changed to Chevy to accommodate more wheel options (cheaper parts etc..), brand new 15" Coker white wall tires with brand new Gennie steel wheels freshly base clear painted red ($1600), straight pipe exhaust from manifold no muffler (sounds cool!), new wiring harness with fuse block, all outside lights work perfectly passes state inspection, wiring in cab ready for music (not done yet), new radiator to accommodate a 8 cyl, new alternator, battery, new trans lines, new fuel lines ran to fuel cell, fuel tank mounted in bed to give more in cab space, I'm 6 foot wanted more cab space, all new glass with factory tint smoke, new window seals, door glass operates perfectly, no leaks or wind noise (at least from the glass, lol), removed battery from motor compartment, mounted in cooler in bed for look and to give me more room in the motor compartment for next motor, old barn construction wood mounted in bed (looks great!). I have over $6K invested in (stage 1) all listed above (this does not include truck purchase), I have a folder with all invoices on all listed...I am still working on it as we speak, and wont stop... Right now it's registered and driven any chance I can, it's road worthy and passed NY state inspection ...after finishing everything listed above I took this on a 200 mile road trip to the Syracuse Nationals with no issues, the truck rides and runs great with no major issues, so much fun to drive, people love it and want to talk every were I go.. My next Stage would be to AIR Bag's with a mustang II front end complemented with a 4 link rear, finish the interior to new, I'm thinking another $4-5 k this truck will be perfect. I don't have to sell, I'm trying to appease the wife right now, the timing and patience for completion is off right now, if it does not sell I will finish it and enjoy it... Please call Matt with any questions, I am willing to help arrange shipping, I have resources through the company I used to transport from Tennessee. My reserve is set below my Buy it Now, Good LUCK, do not hesitate to call. This truck is not for sale locally, I do have the right to end this auction early if someone approaches me locally and offers me the right price.. I'm located 5 mins outside of Rochester NY>> 60 miles East of Buffalo 585.7two one. 9 nine three six ::-)) Cell Call me rather than sending messages through Ebay.. or email mrmotoman306@yahoo.com Thanks for looking!! |

Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015
Wed, Dec 10 2014Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.
