For Sale is a beautifully crafted 1965 Ford F100 Styleside Pickup.

The body is very straight and clean of rust. The engine is one of a kind - A professionally built FE 428 Cobra Jet engine with less than 100mi since construction using a " New " old stock engine block. Forged internal components and precise California engine building produce 550+ horsepower and 600ft lbs of torque. Gear shifting is accomplished thru a TCI C-6 automatic transmission with a cobra jet servo, standard valve body and 2000 rpm TCI stall converter. All this power is handled thru a newly built 9" rear-end with 3.89 Richmond gears, Auburn pro series limited slip posi, Moser forged steel custom axles with Torrington bearings & steel retainer plates.

This truck is a no expense spared show/race truck. It has all new mechanical and a completely new electrical system professionally installed by the best of California. It runs and drives excellently and has done the quarter mile in mid 11 second runs. We have not pushed it past that point, as the engine is still being broken in. The body is smooth/clean and could be show room painted within a few days. The interior is setup with a single racing seat and 5 point harness. This makes the Truck an amazingly easy street rod show truck project by simply adding the turn signals and brake lights, then finishing the interior and exterior to your desires. Alternatively, this truck is ready to be an awesome drag vehicle. Just fill the tank and go and don't even worry about the show room paint job!

The truck has spent its entire life in the California desert were it was dry and preserved. I purchased it about 4 years ago and never got around to finishing it to the way I wanted. It's being kept inside my facility in West Palm Beach, Florida. Please email me to schedule an appointment to see and hear the truck.

Bellow is a complete list of the specifications. The truck has a large amount of documentation and spare parts included with the sale. Please - only serious buyers.

Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."

First 500 European Ford Mustangs reserved in 30 seconds [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

We're pretty sure that any initial concerns Ford had about selling the redesigned Mustang in Europe have been lessened considerably, after the first 500 Euro-spec 2015 Mustangs were been reserved in just 30 seconds. Moreover, 9,300 people attempted to snag one of the coveted orders for the all-new muscle car. Yes, Mustang, you should do quite well across the pond.
The registration event was held during the UEFA (pronounced yu-eh-fa) Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
"We knew there was huge excitement building for the new Ford Mustang coming to Europe, but the response during the UCL Final was overwhelming," said Roelant de Waard, VP of marketing, sales and service for Ford's European outfit. "It was a truly special way to kick off the Ford Mustang era in Europe."
