What is it? That's what you will always hear while sporting this jewel around. The answer to that question is "Its a Ratrod". Its title as a 49 Ford F1. The cab and bed are 49 Ford as the front end is a 50's era GMC. The body is sitting on a 93 S10 frame so it does have power steering and power brakes. Also as the complete running gear out of the S10 with a 2.5 automatic. It runs smoothly down the road at 75mph easily. It handles great and rides smooth. Drive it anywhere you want to go. This ratrod does have suicide doors. Its very unique and it gets compliments everywhere it goes. Don't drive this if your in a hurry because everyone wants to stop and talk about it and again be prepared to answer the "what is it question". The interior is unique as well while keeping the ratrod theme. It has a new one piece windshield, the hood is a split hood so it can be opened from the driver side or passenger side, one pic shows the dragon fly spark plug that's on the drivers fender and the rat fink hood emblem. It has a cd player, air horns, all the gauges work and light up, has LED tail lights, headlights work as well. I hate selling this ratrod but Im selling several of my toys for a family home project (swimming pool). Good luck to all bidders and if you have any questions just ask. I can deliver to the east coast region but that must be discussed before the auction ends.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
