Here we go again with other cool ride for grabs & this time its a 52' F1 Traditional Hot Rod! 

You will find full information on the truck down here along with some cool pictures for ya all to check out. We have owned this truck for about 2 years now and we love it which we are sure the new owner will too. My listing might will be a bit long than others but I like and want to cover as much as I can so you know what you are getting. Let's start with list of features on what this cool truck have ... 

  • 355 Chevy Crate Engine
  • 700 R4 Transmission
  • 12’ Power Disc Brakes w/ Dual Diaphragm Power Brake Booster
  • Aluminum Master Cylinders
  • Upgrade Brake Lines & Hoses
  • Dual Captain Seats from 90’s Van
  • Upgrade Gauges
  • Engine/Trans Crossmember & Polyurethane Engine/Trans Mounts
  • Nylon Lined An-6 Trans to Trans Cooler w/ Trans. Cooler Fan
  • Complete Rewired Entire Truck
  • Update Spade Fusebox w/ Relays for Fans
  • All Wires Solder & Heat Shrink Wrapped
  • Straight Front Axle
  • 9’ Rear with 3.10 Gear
  • 100% Henry Ford Steel
  • Have Heat System (working)

What it doesn't have: Air bags, power steering & air condition however there is room to add them if you desire to do so.

Let's start with condition and information. First of all and foremost ... this is not a perfect, mint, trailer queen or high retail truck. This truck is 100% original steel with characters to back it up like dings & dents from its days of being used as a real truck. This bad boy starts up, drive, stop and sounds like Traditional Hot Rod. If you want mint/perfect truck then this is not for you. 

Now with that out of way ... let's start with drivetrain. Truck had about 1000 miles on it when we first got it about two years ago. We spent about year and half driving it around and put on only 500ish miles on it. However the truck always gave us problems here and there ... that's until about 3 months ago when we decide to send it to shop and get full interior rebuilt. The truck now have 2100 miles on clock and still going up as we are driving it on weekends ( weather permits ). What do I mean by full interior drivetrain rebuilt is that everything inside the block been replaced and/or rebuilt. 

The next thing we did after we was done with drivetrain obvious was body. The body had surface rust, bubbles, and so forth started to show up after owning it for awhile ... couldn't left it like that so it got some new paint job. We started off by giving it sanding job all way to primer and put on new primer coat. While we were at it ... we removed all surface rust and covered it with POR 15. After that we gave it two coats of flat blue paint job which is what you see in pictures ... if you want "shiny" truck then you can buff it and bring it to that point but we don't like it. We didn't do any BODY work to leave the truck "original" condition so it is not LASER straight body or in mint condition. Bottom line: this is a truck that you can get in and drive to shows, cruise or night out having good time without worrying about shiny paint job or trailering it to shows. This is driver that will get you LOT of attention, honks, pictures taken and hard time leaving gas stations. Truck is pretty much turn key other than might will need new tires soon. 

The truck still have original vin tag on it and the numbers matching - no fake stuff. I have and hold a clean/clear title in my name to truck which will be ready for new owners. The nada guides retail this truck at $15,000 as average retail and $39,000 as high retail. I know the truck is not high retail however its not your average truck so I've the reserve price in between and will give people chance to own a cool old school traditional hot rod!!! 

You are more than welcome to check the truck out in person. You can drive truck after you pay me and do whatever you want to do with it. Look at pictures but please understand pictures doesn't show its flaws so keep that in your mind. I've tried to be honest as much as I can so please feel free ask questions if you have any. Serious inquiry only please - thanks! 

P.S. I have few other Hot Rods so would like to downsize but would consider trading for: 69' - 70' Mach 1 or Model A Coupe/Tudor Hot Rod ( both must be nice and have automatic trans ) otherwise I'm not close to being interested in trading for anything else.

Junkyard Gem: 1971 Mercury Comet 2-Door Sedan

Sat, Sep 10 2022

When Ford introduced the original Maverick for the 1970 model year, Dearborn tradition required that a Mercury-badged version be created. That car ended up being the Comet, built from the 1971 through 1977 model years. Here's one of those first-year Comets in rough but recognizable condition, found in a Denver self-service yard not long ago. The Comet name had spent the 1960s affixed to the flanks of Mercurized Ford Falcons (1960-1965) and Fairlanes (1966-1969). Since the Maverick was the successor of the Falcon — sales of which went into an irrecoverable downward spiral once its sportier Mustang first cousin hit the streets — it made sense to move the Comet name over to the Mercury version. Nearly every American Mercury model ever sold was a U.S.-market Ford model with a different name and some gingerbread slapped on. Notable exceptions to this tradition include the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar (mechanically based on the Contour but with a unique body) and the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri (an Australian-built mashup of Mazda components borrowed from the Ford Laser). The Comet was by far the cheapest Mercury model available in 1971, though it was considered more prestigious than its Maverick counterpart. The price tag on the '71 Comet two-door sedan started at $2,217 (about $16,505 in 2022 dollars), while the '71 Maverick two-door sedan cost $2,175 ($16,193 today). Meanwhile, AMC would sell you a new Hornet two-door sedan for one dollar less than a Maverick, Chevrolet had the Nova coupe for a dollar more than the Maverick, and Plymouth offered the Valiant Duster for $2,313 ($17,220 now). Toyota had a Maverick competitor as well that year, with the Corona at $2,150 for the sedan and $2,310 for the coupe. Having driven every one of the aforementioned models, I'd take the Duster if I went back in time and had to choose one (as a 1969 Corona owner, I'm not a fan of the 1971 facelift, though the Corona's build quality beats the Duster's). The build sticker on this car tells us that it was built at the Kansas City Assembly Plant (where Transits and F-150s are made today) and sold through the Los Angeles district sales office (there was a DSO in Denver, so it's a near-certainty that this car didn't start out in Colorado). The paint started out as Bright Blue Metallic (it's neither bright nor metallic 51 years down the road) and the interior was done up in Medium Blue Cloth & Vinyl.

Just in time for the holidays, Snowkhana 3 is here

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The gift list for the 12 Days of Christmas is frightfully heavy on birds, so surely no one will mind if we sub out the three French hens for Snowkhana 3. Ford of Europe is back with another stop-motion video that – like versions one and two – throws a 1:64-scale Ford Fiesta in Ken Block livery around a fabulous world of action figures and make believe. This year's video "drives rings around some of the biggest YouTube hits," so those of you who've lost years of your lives to the greatest distraction since the human navel can put your knowledge to use. For anyone else just catching up, we'll help you get rolling: the opening Snowkhana scene channels Stalking Cat. You'll find the rest of your holiday homework in the video.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
