 1952 Ford F1 Chop Top Rat Rod!

Please make sure it's a custom rat rod that you want and you will find the hardest work is done! This truck is a sweet set up if you love this look. It takes a ton of work to get them to this stage. It is sold as is, where is. Please come see it, have it checked, ask questions! I have let this thing sit for two years and am just not getting to it as a project so it's time to free up the space.

Nonrefundable $500 deposit due within 24 hours, balance due in cash, cashier's check, or bank transfer. Please do not bid if you do not have immediate funds available.

This is a bad to the bone chop top pick-up! 1952 was the year Ford had the "teeth" grill which you can see looks very cool when set up low like this one.
  • It has a roller 5.0 302 engine with about 30 pounds of oil pressure at idle and 50 cruising.
  • It has a Holley 500cfm 2 barrel and dual flows.
  • Single traction rear end mated to a rebuilt AOD overdrive trasmission
  • A 69 Camaro clip, Ford 9 inch rear end
  • Tilt GM column
  • Power steering and power brakes!
  • Stereo and heater
  • Clear title in my name
  • Yes, the gas tank in the back is a beer keg that holds 15 gallons!
It has a receiver hitch so you can tow if you want. Glass front and back, and plexi side windows that need replacing (See pics, I will include the side window templates if you want to have glass cut - it's flat glass)

IMPORTANT NOTES:
  • Buyer is responsible for all shipping/pick-up
  • This is a rat rod, not a restored truck. How much work you want to do is up to you. It is right now, a 25 footer (the closer you get from 25 feet the less perfect it looks!).
  • I went out last week charged the battery (1 year old), topped off the radiator, oil, transmission, and bled the brakes. Started her up and ran her down the road and back. Please copy/paste this link in your browser to see video:
  • She starts, drives, turns, the brakes and power steering work great. the transmission works in drive and reverse, but is not shifting. I will take it out again this week see if that changed, but you should assume it will need attention on the transmission, and a tune up.
IF you choose "Buy It Now" I will include a spare set of inner fenders (see pics) and an original set of correct running board brackets. If you don't buy it now, I will list those two things in separate auctions.

Finally, you are buying it as is, where is, and I have tried to describe the good, the bad, and the ugly. Please ask questions and check it out, make sure its what you want before bidding. Thanks!!

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.

Ford C-Max spied with fresh updates

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

The Ford C-Max hatchback looks to be getting a few cosmetic updates, as evidenced in this latest set of spy photos. Like the smaller Focus, which also received a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, the C-Max appears to be getting a revised front fascia with slimmer headlamps and a more, shall we say, Aston Martin-like grille. Around back, there looks to be a new bumper with redesigned taillamps, as well.
In other markets, the C-Max people-mover is available with a range of powertrains, but here in the US, it exists either as a traditional gas-electric or plug-in hybrid. The C-Max's fuel economy has been a particular topic of interest lately, with its official fuel economy ratings having been lowered twice since the vehicle's launch. Sales initially suffered a bit following this fiasco, though numbers have since leveled out. It's unclear if Ford is working on any powertrain tweaks for the updated C-Max seen here, however.
Ford has likely spruced up the hatch's interior, as well, though we don't have photos of that at this time. Mum's the word on when we'll see the new C-Max, but our best guess is that it'll arrive sometime in the next year.

Recharge Wrap-up: Grimsel electric car breaks acceleration world record, electric Ford Raptor ATV debuts

Sun, Nov 16 2014

An all-electric version of the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is now available... as an ATV. Made by Caddyshack Golf Cars, it features officially licensed Ford badging borrowed from the super-macho pickup. It has a lifted chassis with leaf springs in the front and rear, hydraulic shocks and off-road tires. Powered by a 48-volt motor, it can do 0-25 mph in 2.9 seconds. Range is an estimated 30 miles - plenty to get you through 18 of the most rugged holes of golf you've ever played. Caddyshack also offers other miniature electric Fords, including a Shelby GT500, Shelby Cobra and 50th Anniversary Mustang. Read more at Green Car Reports. Lexus takes a crack at the BMW i3 in a new video from Funny or Die. In the decidedly anti-EV film, a group of guys drives to Las Vegas for a "dad-chelor party" in a Lexus CT 200h and a BMW i3. The Lexus hybrid makes it to Sin City without any problems, while the BMW's occupants need to make several lengthy stops to charge along the way, missing much of the fun. The video lampoons the inherent range limitations of the EV (the BMW group ends up driving slowly through the desert with no AC or radio to save energy), all in a well produced, if somewhat misguided, short comedy film. Perhaps they should have considered the i3 with a range extender? See the video below, or read more at Green Car Reports. Students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University have set a new EV acceleration world record. Their "Grimsel" racing car was able to zoom from 0-100 kph (0-62.137 mph) in just 1.785 seconds in less than 30 meters (98.425 feet), crushing the previous record of 2.134 seconds. Even more impressive is that the Grimsel was built by the students themselves, as part of the Formula Student team at the Academic Motorsports Club Zurich. The car weighs just 370 pounds and provides 200 horsepower and 1,202 pound feet of torque from the four hub motors. The Grimsel uses traction control to manage torque for maximum acceleration. See the record acceleration run in the videos below or read more at Gizmag, at Electric Autosport or in the press release from ETH Zurich below. 'grimsel' breaks world record The 'grimsel' electric racing car today broke the previous world record for acceleration in electric cars. The vehicle accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.785 seconds in under 30 metres. The new record was set by students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, who also designed and built the vehicle.
