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!! |

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time
Fri, Aug 15 2014Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.
