In this auction offered to you by Rusty Nuts Originals in Greenville, SC is a very nice, very original, very solid 54 F100. The story behind the truck goes...it was a high school shop class project nearly 30 years ago, owner passed away, and had been sitting in the garage for the last 28 years. Having been garage kept for the last 28 years, its in incredible shape. The entire cab and front half of the truck are rust free with one or two small dings. Original cab corners, floor boards, etc.The bed is not original to the truck and is not in the condition of the front half of the truck but is still in good shape. We bought the truck with two beds, a 54 bed and a 48 bed. The bed is a combination of the best of both, 48 bed sides, 54 fenders and tail gate. The bed has some surface pitting but no severe rust. With all that being said, this is an awesome shop or advertising truck or a very good start for a restoration. The truck runs and drives like a top, shifts well, and everything in and on the truck works like a new one, with the exception of the lazy vacuum operated wipers. Its got a set of brand new white stripe tires, new king pins and the rear signal/brake lights are new from LMC. The odometer reads 24,xxx but in South Carolina antique vehicles mileage are exempted on the titles, so we have to assume thats 124k miles. The truck doors are hand painted with a vintage A&W Rootbeer sign and the dash is pinstriped, but we are a full service shop and can accomodate and custom pinstriping or your shops logo, and we also grind whitewalls so these white stripes can be wide whites with a phone call, contact below for details. It is offered with a clear SC title and as with all of our auctions, this vehicle carries no warranty and is represented truthfully to the best of our knowledge. Shipping will be entirely the winning bidders responsibility and a deposit of $1000.00 is due within 24 hours of the close of the auction. This truck is also for sale locally so we reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Should you have any questions about the truck, please ask them prior to bidding via Ebay, direct email at Andy@rustynutsoriginals.com or call the shop at 864-386-6887 and don't forget to check us out on Facebook or just Google Rusty Nuts Originals to visit our website.

We compare 2021 Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport specifications to their ritzy Land Rover competiton
Tue, Jul 14 2020The 2021 Bronco and Bronco Sport are the spearheads for Ford's new 4x4 sub-brand, with the former taking the fight directly to the Jeep Wrangler and the latter providing Ford with a more rugged alternative to the Escape. We've already looked at how the new Bronco and Bronco Sport compare to their mainstream competition, but we'd like to see how the Bronco stacks up to another hotly anticipated returning nameplate: the Land Rover Defender. Not to leave its little sibling in the cold, I decided to browse Land Rover's lineup and see what might be a suitable counterpoint to the Bronco Sport. For better or worse, I found an almost-perfect fit in the Range Rover Evoque. So, how do these new American 4x4s compare to the Old Country's more-expensive alternatives? Let's dig in, starting with the big boys. As you might expect from the Bronco's robust credentials, it holds its own here against the more-expensive Brit. The Defender's higher price point brings along a good bit of power advantage with both engines, but that's to be expected. The Defender also has that trick adjustable-height suspension that the Bronco lacks, giving it an edge in practicality, and it can also tow quite a bit more. On the flip side, there are quite a few advantages to going with the Ford, including a greater number of choices in terms of powertrain. The available manual transmission on four-cylinder Broncos is a nice bonus, for instance, as is the option of getting either the base 2.3-liter or the optional 2.7-liter engine with either wheelbase. The Defender is a bit more restrictive in this regard offering only the inline-six on the short-wheelbase model. As an added bonus, the Bronco is a convertible. That may not necessarily be a "plus" for all shoppers, but it's certainly an added bit of versatility (and potential appeal) the Defender lacks. And of course, the Bronco can be had for as little as $30,000, whereas the Land Rover starts at $50,000. Now, on to the less-rugged siblings. The specs here are actually a little tighter in most respects, but the powertrain story is almost identical. The Evoque checks in where the Bronco Sport tops out, and the Range Rover gets an optional high-output variant of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four.
BMW to follow Honda back into F1?
Mon, 14 Apr 2014The economic downturn wrought devastating effects on motor racing. Formula One alone lost half its engine suppliers when Honda left at the end of the 2008 season, and both BMW and Toyota followed at the end of 2009. But things are looking up again. Cosworth may have dropped out this season, reducing the engine suppliers to three: Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes, the latter of which admits that it may have left had the engine formula not changed. But Mercedes has stayed and is dominating the championship. Honda is coming back next season. And word around the paddock is it may not be the only one.
According to Giancarlo Minardi - founder of the team now known as Scuderia Toro Rosso - BMW engineers have been conspicuously spotted lately at F1 test sessions and grands prix, lending to speculation that the new engine regulations may entice the Bavarian automaker back into the series. According to Minardi, BMW's marketing division is pushing for the automaker's return to F1, with the board slated to make a decision in May. BMW would be more likely to consider an engine-supply deal rather than taking a team over like it had with Sauber, but with which team or teams it might collaborate remains a big question mark at this point.
As if that's not enough, Ford is said to be considering taking over Cosworth's aborted V6 turbo engine program to take both outfits back into the sport as well. Cosworth supplied F1 engines under the Ford banner for years, but returned under its own name for four seasons from 2010 through 2013 before shuttering its program to develop an engine to meet the new regulations adopted this season.
Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.
