Up for auction is a very cool 1963 Ford F100. I own a Custom Car/ Restoration shop in Texas, and this is my personal truck. The truck was built from the ground up, starting with a fully modified and air bagged chassis. Mustang II front end with tubular upper/lower control arms, air bags, Unisteer manual rack, boxed and raised front frame rails. Rear suspension is 2x4 rectangular from the cab back, with a traditional 4 link setup with bags and a panhard bar. Ford 9" rear end with 3.90 gears. Chassis is completely painted ceramic chassis black. The truck drives straight and rides nice at 4" of ride height down the highway at 80mph.
Engine is dressed to look like a Hi-Po 289 from a 1966 GT350 Mustang. Its a .030 over 302. Edelbrock aluminum heads, Crane cam, lifters, and roller chain. Performer RPM intake, Holley 4150 HP carb, Pertronix distributor and MSD coil. Tri-Y headers with Flowmaster Mufflers. Transmission is a Tremec TKO 5 speed. Clutch is a RAM diaphragm style.
The body of the truck is lazer straight. Bed has been raised 1" from stock, rear fenders were raised 2" from stock, fuel filler shaved, antenna hole removed, tailgate modified to read "FURD", cause I'm a redneck. The exterior is sprayed with Eastwood Rat Rod black. Interior and underhood are PPG base/ clear in Corvette Victory red. The truck is straight enough to be gloss black, but I like the satin look. The doors are hand lettered with One Shot. Most of the black underhood parts are powdercoated. Wheels are powdercoated. Tires are Coker bias ply's front and rear.
The truck was completely rewired front to back, ATO style fuse block with 20 circuits. The air ride system consists of 2 Viar compressors and 2 air tanks. The valves are SMC's. The entire system runs 3/8" lines.
This is a very dependable truck. We just recently ran half of the Hot Rod Power Tour with no problems. Runs good, drives good, doesn't overheat. No junk here, not a "Rat Rod" but a properly built traditional hot rod. I have tons of time and money invested into this truck, it's listed with a reasonable reserve. The truck would cost 3 times the amount to build.
Please contact me with any questions or for more pictures. Thanks for looking.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
Sunday Drive: Volvo hits a crossover home run, and people still love sports cars
Sun, Sep 24 2017Looking back at the week that just was clearly tells us at least three things. First, crossovers don't have to be boring. Second, people still love sports cars, from the attainable (Audi TT RS) to the fanciful (Mercedes-AMG GT C). And finally, the traditional German trio of premium luxury brands had better not rest on their laurels, because credible challengers are coming in from every direction. The biggest reveal of the week, at least judging by the interest of Autoblog readers, was the Volvo XC40. Not only is the little 'ute a looker, it introduces some innovative new buying/leasing schemes designed to appeal to an audience accustomed to trading in and trading up every couple of years. Think of Volvo's flat-fee lease as you would a smartphone contract, and you'll be on the right track. Genesis looks to have a hit on its hands in the form of the G70 sport sedan. We took a Korean-spec model for a spin and found a lot to like about the upstart contender. We can't wait to sample one here in the United States to see how it stacks up against the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In other news, we're still really excited to see a production Ford Ranger Raptor. But if you just can't wait for the official reveal — it's OK, neither can we — take a look at the renderings in our post down below. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry.
