You won't believe this truck! Rare 1 ton dually!

Bought at Mecum Auction in 2013 so I did not restore it. However, I will be glad to tell you what I see and have found out.

Serial # on the engine appears to be a match to the VIN # so I have a strong hunch this is the original motor. I took pictures of the serial # on the motor and firewall. You can see some of the last digits clearly match the VIN #. She starts the first time, almost every time. Has a starter advance and throttle on the steering wheel. The only add on that appears not to be original on the dash was a key that had been added to turn the battery on and off. I had to have an old guy show me how to treat her and start her. Once I mastered what she likes, she fires up for me the first time, every time. We start and run her once a week. I have always kept her in the garage and that appears to be where she has spent most of her life before me. I am currently burning marine fuel with octane boost in it.

Interior is in great condition. The seats and doors are done in a black woven material. Carpet is new and appears to be an insert. Windows and front windshield let down and out. Horn blows. Lights come on. Still kept the original 6 volt system.

Wheels are so cool! Seem to have a flat spot on them from sitting in the showroom because the ride is a little rough. Never drove her enough to have a problem with that. I mainly bought it as a prop for my business and then we decided to go a different direction with our advertising.

Truck runs great! The little history we could find said the old girl sat in a showroom of a Ford/Lincoln dealership in Oklahoma City before it went to auction. It appears from the shape she is in, she was there for a long time because of lack of rust. There are a few surface scratches but that's about it. She got a scratch in her paint on the left front fender when it was transported to me in Mobile, Alabama. No dent, just had the paint scuffed. Wanted to point that out.

Bed appears to be made of stained, 2X4 and 2X6 pine boards. Great condition. Never hauled anything so I can't speak to function but it is very sturdy. Cab roof also appears to be wooden, covered in vinyl. Since I bought it after this was installed, this is just what I see. Floorboard is also wooden. From what I have learned after owning this vehicle, wood was used routinely.

This truck is such a solid old truck that I really wouldn't have a problem selling it to my own family if they had a need for her. Hate to part with her but I am moving and will no longer have the great garage to store her. It's kind of like parting with family.

See and hear how she runs in the following YouTube video we shot this morning:

Of course this vehicle is sold, as is, where is with all defects and faults. No warranty expressed or implied.

Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.

This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like

Sat, 12 Oct 2013

Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.

Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
