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.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

2015 Ford Mustang invades SEMA, led by King Cobra
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Ford showcased more than a dozen customized 2015 Mustangs at its sprawling 20,000-square foot display this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center as the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary celebration continued at the SEMA Show.
While Mustangs are always a hot commodity at SEMA, the new generation brought increased attention from the aftermarket, as builders like Galpin Auto Sports, Richard Petty's Garage and Vaughn Gittin Jr. offered their takes on the new 'Stang.
The extensive display included a range of Mustangs from mild to wild, with everything from a 600-plus horsepower King Cobra pictured at the top, to paint-and-wheel packages. The new regal Cobra, which we spied early in our SEMA adventure this year, may not be the replacement for the Cobra Jet as we speculated, but it does seem to point the way forward for the next iteration of a supreme Ford dragster. Fat drag slicks out back make it's reason for being abundantly clear, and for tells us that modded car is good for a 10.97-second quarter-mile run.
Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
