1948 Ford F1 Hot Rod Rat Rod Custom Fresh Big Block 396 And Trans. In Wylie,tx on 2040-cars
Wylie, Texas, United States
|
what we have here was originally a 1948 ford f1 chopped rat rod that a buddy built and it has been on the road for years. he sold it and a guy started making it into a show truck. started body work, most interior, chromed several parts, added badass new big block drivetrain and a decent sound system.
it could go either way as of now. either finish it out in flat black for nice hot rod, finish body work and add custom paint for car show ride, or sand it back down and let it rust for a cool rat rod. either way, it's up and running driving and stopping. just drove it this weekend and went to big car show.
If you have any other questions feel free to call me cori 214-336-6759 anytime. I will likely paint cowl and front grill surround to match before auction ends.
P.S. the front wheels are borrowed and not going with the truck. it will have red steelies on it to match the rear. no dissapointments on this ride, the frame was built by pro welder / fabricator it drives really well.
the reserve is not ridiculous but keep in mind the drivetrain alone is worth 8k.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage
Mon, 17 Mar 2014There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.
