General Description
This is a 1952 Ford F100 field find, turned into a completely updated head-turning reliable cruiser. It's unique patina with custom pin striping sets this truck apart from others. So many new parts! This truck is TURN KEY, ready to cruise today. You may have even seen this one on the cover of Summit's Hot Rod Hardware catalog last year.
Clean and clear title in my name.

RUST 
This truck has just the right amount of that patina we all love, without the rot. The body is overall very solid, and needs no sheet metal work.

FRAME/DRIVETRAIN
This truck sits on the sought after mid 80's s10 frame, and has an awesome slammed stance. It's powered by a completely overhauled Chevy 350, with new speed pro pistons and a mild comp cams street cam. The engine looks, sounds, and runs excellent. It has that awesome old school chop at idle, through a full custom true dual exhaust with Dynomax super turbo mufflers. The engine is dressed up with billet accessories, new valve covers, new "nitro plated" headers, new Edelbrock 1406 electric choke carb, and a HUGE K&N air cleaner (the cherry on top!) It's fed from a new 15 gallon RCI fuel cell by a brand new Holley electric fuel pump and pressure regulator. All new fuel lines have been installed, and a custom "flip top" fuel cap has been placed in the wood bed for easy fill ups. The tank has a brand new level sending unit for accurate fuel readings.
The rear end is from a 2001 Chevy Blazer with disc brakes, and has a 3:42 Eaton Posi.

TRANSMISSION
Freshly rebuilt stage 2 700R4 from Maddog Transmissions in Cummings, Georgia....at $1000, this transmission shifts super crisp every time. The tranny is supported by a G-Force cross member, which allows for the placement of the dual exhaust. It runs extra cool with the new BTE extra deep aluminum trans pan. Fluid change is a breeze with the installed drain plug. It connects to the rear end with a brand new light weight PST driveshaft.

STEERING/SUSPENSION/BRAKES/TIRES
Everything here has been replaced. The new steering shaft, steering linkage, upper and lower ball joints, front sway bar with polyurethane bushings, and polyurethane upper and lower control arm bushings all contribute to the solid and predictable steering of this truck. It's tight, and right! The front end also features new Crown drop springs with new Bilstein shocks. The rear has de-arched leaf springs with Belltech lowering shocks.
This truck has 4 wheel disc power brakes with 4 new calipers and new brake pads all around. All 5 brake lines have been updated to Russell stainless braided lines for a solid pedal feel. I have installed a new brake booster, master cylinder, proportioning valve combo to complete brake system overhaul. All lines have been flushed with DOT 4 synthetic fluid.
New 15" smoothie wheels with center caps, and Coker wide white walls have been installed.

COOLING SYSTEM
Brand new show quality 2 row aluminum radiator, with integrated trans cooler. Trans cooler lines were upgraded to stainless braided lines with AN fittings. I also have 2 10" electric fans on an automatic thermostat switch, and a 15" mechanical fan. This truck stays cool!

WIRE HARNESS & ELECTRICAL
Wiring is all new, headlights and tail lights work as expected, including high beams. This truck has no turn signals, but could easily be wired up for this. All brand new Autometer Phantom gauges have been installed to display fuel, oil pressure, coolant temp, and battery voltage.

INTERIOR
I decided to keep the original patina in the interior, and it is dressed up with custom pin striping, custom art work on the glove box door, and a beer tap shifter. The comfortable bench seat is covered in a Mexican blanket to give it a unique look.

GLASS 
The front and rear windshields are brand new with new seals. Both doors still retain the original glass, and the triangle windows actually open and close. The drivers window regulator needs to be replaced, and the glass is currently not installed....but will come with the truck

HOW DOES IT RIDE?
Brakes have excellent response, engine and transmission are strong and can easily cruise 80 down the road with no problem. This truck rides very smooth, and is easy to take anywhere

PLEASE NOTE: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO SHIP UNTIL OCTOBER 12TH. IT IS BEING USED IN A PRIVATE PHOTO SHOOT THE DAY BEFORE.
I have a lot of time invested in this one-of-a-kind shop truck. It's a real head turner, and so much fun to drive.
Please contact me with any further questions. Serious bidders only please.
I reserve the right to end this auction at any time, as it is for sale locally.
Buyer assumes all shipping arrangements and cost, but I will be happy to assist with loading.
$1000 non-refundable deposit due within 24 hours of auction end

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year

Mon, Nov 9 2015

With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

The article appears in the December/January issue, on newsstands November 17, and on RoadandTrack.com. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.

Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...
