Up for purchase is a very unique Ford pickup truck.  I have owned this truck for years, however I don't frequently drive it.  

Great looking stance (lowered - budget spring cut), great mechanical condition and reliable with every start attempt.  Starts and drives every time, shifts very well, brakes are functional, windows roll up and down, radio is missing but the wiring is there.  The engine was rebuilt about 6-7k miles ago, transmission has less than 500 miles since rebuild (oil pump and torque converter).  Holly carb, e-cam, shorty headers, flowmaster exhaust - all else is stock.  

Cosmetically the truck had surface rust from the paint and clear coat fading over the years, however we did apply a topical rust treatment and then proceeded to freehand a variety of copper, blue, gold, brown and pearl shades to the paint.  We then clearcoated the truck with a satin finish clearcoat (plastidip).  It can easily all be removed if someone were to opt for a full or partial restoration.  Interior is stock and nearly mint - including a brand new dash pad and new upgraded bench seat.  

The bed floorboard had rust from having trash and debris stored in it for years (held moisture) however the bed is functional again because of the new wood floor bed insert that was fabricated for it.  The truck I believe was equipped with factory air since new, but I don't believe it's functional anymore.  Heat works.  Tires are in good shape and are fairly new.  

The ride is very stiff and bouncy due to the lowering procedures - however there's a great deal of aftermarket support for these platforms and a smooth suspension can be installed very inexpensively per the new owner's preference.  

I built this truck as a display piece and occasional cruiser around town.  It's been parked in front of my shop for awhile now and I am ready to let it go to a new home.  If you have trade offers or would like to inquire about additional work you'd like done to this truck, I can quote that and make arrangements for completion.  It's a mechanically reliable, head-turning long bed truck - use it for whatever you'd creatively think of.  

I own a specialty fabrication shop in Raleigh NC and i'd love to answer any questions you may have about the truck.  Please call or text before bidding if you are unsure about your decision - I will report any unpaid activity.  My number is 9one92642OO7  Feel free to make trade offers.  

Happy bidding.

Weekly Recap: Audi pulls back the curtain on its future

Sat, Aug 22 2015

The E-Tron Quattro concept is the future of Audi. It embodies all of the traits that will make the brand – and electric-powered luxury vehicles – more relevant into the 2020s. Here's why: The E-Tron Quattro concept, which will debut next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show, is a large sport utility vehicle that promises a range of 311 miles. It's an all-electric daily driver that fits the needs of most Americans. In production – which Audi says starts in 2018 – this vehicle will seat five and likely be called the Q6. You can take your family from Boston to Philadelphia without recharging. That's mainstream. We're moving away from the industry's "science experiment" era (as General Motors product chief Mark Reuss once described the appearance of the first gen-Chevy Volt) to a period where electric vehicles are plausible and practical for many US buyers. The 2018 Q6's only holdup for the masses will be price. But if you can afford an Audi SUV, you'll be able to buy an all-electric version. The E-Tron concept uses Volkswagen Group's second-generation modular longitudinal platform. The lithium-ion battery is located between the axles and below the cabin. Urquhart says the production model will feature the automaker's latest battery technology developed with LG Chem and Samsung. IHS Automotive projects the Q6 will sell more than 40,000 units annually by the end of the decade. "The E-Tron Quattro is a precursor for what will be an exciting and landmark production model for Audi and will position the brand at the forefront of the premium EV market," IHS analyst Tim Urquhart wrote in a commentary. It's the Tesla-zation of America. It's the Tesla-zation of America. The Q6 will be a Model X fighter, and expect other automakers to follow suit, particularly in the luxury sector with SUVs and other large vehicles. They offer more space for the battery packs, and development costs can be recovered easier. "Premium brands have an inbuilt advantage in terms of introducing [electric] powertrains over more mainstream automotive brands," Urquhart wrote. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Analyst says Tesla stock could be worth $465 a share Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas sent shockwaves through the industry when he said Tesla stock has the potential to reach a whopping $465 a share. That's a leap from its $230.77 price at Friday's market close.

2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
