***THERE IS A SLIDESHOW WITH MORE DETAILED PICS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS AUCTION***

1955 Ford F-100 Custom Cab Pickup. This truck was built at the Memphis plant and has the rare special order Y paint code of Mountain Green. I had to research the code. Evidently it was not offered on the trucks, only the cars, and you had to special order it. It has the original 223 I-6 engine and original 3 spd on the column transmission. It also has the spare tire rack on the drivers side of the bed.

These trucks are getting harder to find. I have included pics of a restored 1955 F-100 in Mountain Green to show how beautiful this truck will be when finished.

The original engine and transmission are in the truck. However, the head has been pulled off the engine and is lost. The cylinders are partially filled with what appears to be oil to protect them but there is no telling how long they have been uncovered so I would definitely count on rebuilding the engine or replacing it with a V8.

The body is in decent shape as far as these trucks go unrestored. The front fenders have holes in the front of them which is a shame because the sides of them are pretty good. I would buy two good used ones. The hood has holes in the front and on the passenger side that could be patched or replace it with a new/used one. The cab corners will need to be replaced. The drivers side door is in good shape with just a few holes but the passenger side door is pretty much completely rusted out at the bottom. The rockers have a few small holes. The cab floor is solid everywhere except on the passenger side in the corner by the door. Most everything that needs to be fixed or replaced is available used on Ebay right now or go with new stuff from the online parts dealers.

***Both running boards are rusted out but INCLUDED in this auction are two new aftermarket running boards for this truck (shown in the pics) worth around $500 with shipping.***

The bed has an ancient diamond plate cap welded in over the old wood bed that will need to removed. If you look under the bed you can still see the slats and rails still under there. The top and sides of the bed itself are solid and pretty straight but there are holes in the floor around the welded in cap that will need to be repaired or replaced (see the pics). The tailgate is good but it will need some welding work at the attachment points to be perfect.

The rear fenders will need either patch work or need to be replaced. Good cheap used ones are all over Ebay right now.

All of the glass is either broken or blistered and needs to be replaced.

The frame is solid everywhere that I can see underneath.

The seat is in it.

The front bumper is twisted. It will need to be hammered straight and welded. The rear bumper is straight. Both need to be rechromed.

The rear wheels are/were chrome steelies. Not sure about the front.

There is no title. Alabama law does not require a title for vehicles 35+ years old. Car will come with a bill of sale.

Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.

2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang debuts at Lagun Seca

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Saleen used the occasion of the race-fueled Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to announce its new Heritage Collection Lineup. The event was punctuated with the debut of the collection's first member, the 2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang.
Follmer's name will likely sound familiar to fans of American racing in the 1960s and '70s. The driver competed in Formula One with the Shadow team in 1973, ran the Indianapolis 500, was the Can-Am champion in 1972 and drove stock cars in NASCAR's Winston Cup as well. The multi-disciplined driver is now one of three -the other two being Mark Donohue and Swede Savage - with the honor of upcoming, limited edition Saleen-tuned vehicles..
