Started frame off restoration and custom build in 1993. Finished complete in 1996. This truck won best of class in the super F-100 nationals in Palm Springs on the carpet of the convention center the year it was completed around 1996. No expense spared on original build. Racing head service crate motor (small block chevy) with DART sportsman heads/screw in studs/guide plates/roller rockers/ Mallory billet pro distributor / competition cams 280 magnum camshaft. billet aluminum pulley set with double grove to add a/c compressor/power steering if desired. TRW forged pistons 10.5 to1 compression (runs perfect on 91 octane). Currie 9" rear with J&S 3:73 posi gear. Turbo 350 chevy auto trans/2400-2600 B&M stall converter / built tough. Engine has approximately 5-10,000 thousand miles as it was rarely driven to car shows and on rare occasions. Previously registered as Historical vehicle since 1993 till recently which limited the driving to and from events only. I have the historical plates and a full photo album of the start to finish restoration. Truck is in remarkable condition considering the time since i restored it. It has only 1 very small dent in bottom corner of grill under headlight, It has 2 small areas were the paint chipped on the hood and 1 chip on the drivers side on bed. Tailgate was customized after restoration from a different shop and paint did not adhere properly and needs to be repainted. paint on truck is epoxy/clear and feels like glass. It was originally color sanded and buffed at a cost of $6500 for paint work alone.Truck will benefit from a spray on bed liner. Bed originally sprayed as zolatone and is flaking. I have over $50,000 invested and intended on re-restoration but now need to sale do to financial hardship. I plan to repaint the tailgate and replace the carpet (faded) ( seat and headliner looks as new ) ($450 padded dash has no cracks) and fix the remaining minor issues ( needs new turn signal cam gear installed in steering column to fix blinkers ) that it has if i am unsuccessful selling it as is now ( the price i will ask if i complete the work will have to increase closer to its true value. This needs to be a quick sale. Truck just received clay bar/wax/polished wheels( Centerline Convo-pros ) and oil/trans fluid/coolant changed. brand new Optima BLUE TOP BATTERY. Tires installed new in 2008 and have no wear at all on tread. original tires had no wear but were replaced in 2008 due to the age of the tire. Engine compartment needs to be detailed and will shine/much chrome and aluminum. Added power disc brakes a few months ago at a cost of $3100 and planned on keeping truck and re-restoring. Out of work now and decided to sell quick as is. I will miss this truck for sure. Thanks for your interest.

Truckmakers squabbling over who can sell Jimmy Fallon a pickup
Sat, 08 Mar 2014Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.

Galpin Auto Sports and Fisker turn the Mustang into a Rocket in LA [w/video]
Thu, Nov 20 2014Galpin Auto Sport and Henrik Fisker made big promises about the Rocket before its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show today, calling it the "ultimate American muscle car." Now that this 725-horsepower carbon-fiber Ford Mustang has officially been revealed, we've now got a chance to see if their vision backs up all the bluster. The Rocket is based off the latest 2015 Mustang, but the entire exterior design has been substantially reworked by Fisker. "This is a project born out of passion, it's a dream come true, to have the opportunity to 'touch' a Mustang and apply my design ideas to it," he says in the model's announcement. The biggest changes come up front, where Fisker has added a gaping hexagonal grille with a polished bar running and two nearly hidden driving lights at the top corners. Long nostrils run down each side of the hood, taking their inspiration from the 1968 Shelby GT500. The Rocket's design also emphasizes its scalloped sides, which run back to functional ducts at the rear to cool the Brembo Grand Turismo brakes. When checking out the Rocket from the rear, it's easy to spot the wider fenders that are beautifully blended into the integrated spoiler. The interior has been left mostly alone beyond some eye-grabbing red leather and carbon-fiber trim. Under the hood, Galpin spokesperson Nathan Hoyt has confirmed to Autoblog that the Rocket employs a 5.0-liter V8 with a Whipple supercharger which can be called to attention with a six-speed manual gearbox. It took only a few months for the vehicle to go from conception to reality. Fisker showed Galpin President Beau Boeckmann early sketches at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and the two parties went from there. "When Henrik showed me his ideas, I got chills - it's literally the most beautiful Mustang I have ever seen," says Boeckmann in the company's release. Production is set to begin in December, with deliveries starting in early 2015. There's no set production total in mind for now, but Hoyt tells Autoblog that the price will be "just over $100,000."
