1931 Model A Ford Rat Rod Truck
This extended cab truck was custom fabricated by Image 803 Customs in Pelion, South Carolina. The cab started as a 1931 model A 4 door car and was modified to an extended cab truck, you can see the before and after in the pictures. Everything on this truck is brand new except the cab which is an original 1931 model A. The frame was custom build from scratch by Image 803 and features speed holes in the front frame rails and has been primed and painted brown. The interior of the cab was completely replaced with 1X1 steel tubing and a new sheet metal floor and tunnel. The truck also has an Image 803 custom wood top (which is patterned right after the original top) and cloth cover with snaps. It has a 4 inch drop front axle with Wilwood disc brakes and new Coker white wall tires. The rear end of the truck is from an 02 ford explorer and has positive traction and disc brakes. The truck has air ride on the rear with a Vivair compressor and 4 gallon tank, along with a set of train horns mounted under the wood bed floor. The floor actually lifts up like a hood showing all the air ride, valves, battery and aluminum fuel cell. There are 4 valves on the truck, two per air bag for maximum control and leveling. The truck has HID lights custom built into the original 1931 car light buckets. The motor in the truck was built by Johnson Machine Engines in Johnson SC and is a built SBC 350 (Mother Thumper Cam and flat top pistons) with turbo 400 transmission (Lokar shifter). The engine has a Weiand tunnel ram on it with 2 Holley 450 Carbs and the exhaust is a set of Sanderson Zoomies. The quad gage in the truck is an Auto Meter. As you can see no expense was spared for this truck. The truck runs and drives great and has about 1000 miles on it with a clear title. This is a custom one of a kind rat rod...... Bad A$$ machine. I buy and sell rat rods all over the US and this is one of the most well built machines I've had..... Bobby 817-907-2881 |

Galpin Ford GTR1 supercar debuts in Monterey
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Galpin Auto Sports has finally taken the wraps off the car we first previewed back in December, the Galpin Ford GTR1. A few weeks ago, we posted the first hints of just what the GTR1 would be capable of, with Galpin teasing that its 5.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 would produce in excess of 1000 horsepower, with a top speed of 225 miles per hour. Package all that in a coachbuilt body, and you have the recipe for one wicked supercar.
The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000.
Now, we have all the glorious details. Galpin is targeting a production run of six cars, but if interest is strong enough, will expand its initial quote to 24 vehicles. The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000. Opting for the aluminum bodywork could lower that, although it's not immediately clear by how much.
Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
