1952 Ford F-100 (f-1) Street Rod Pickup-custom-great Looks & Ride-awesome Truck on 2040-cars
El Paso, Texas, United States
|
My 1952 Ford Pickup Street Rod is an awesome combination of Retro Looks match with Today's Performance Standards. It's Amazing. Ok, let's get into some specifics. The truck is "motorvated" ...moved by a Mr. Goodwrench Crate 350 (5.7) V8 along with a new GM 350 Automatic Transmission. Of course the engine and transmission have been "beefed" up to provide this gorgeous truck with a little more performance than what a stock 350 setup provides. It looks great, sounds great, and performs great as well. There's about 5000 miles on the truck since completion. And the radiator is a high performance unit to accommodate the V8 and great Vintage Air Conditioning in the truck. A lot of innovation went into the building of this fabulous 1952 Ford Pickup Street Rod. Did you notice the grille? Look directly below and see if you can figure out what's different about it. Most people can't. Of course, the chrome speaks for itself. Most stock 1952 Ford Pickups had the grilles painted white or gray. But look a little harder. Notice anything? The stock 1952 Ford pickup had 3 vertical "teeth" in the grile. THIS ONE HAS 5. Isn't that cool? This was an expensive modification to complete but this beautiful truck deserves the love and attention it got. Now here's another fun and totally cool thing to consider. Look at the cab from the side. Notice anything? You probably don't but the cab was "chopped" 2" , meaning that this cab is 2" shorter than a stock cab. This doesn't effect your comfort at all as there is plenty of headroom. But it looks soooooooooo good....don't ya think? The pictures were taking on my cellphone and don't do this amazing truck justice. The paint is actually quite metallic and it literally grabs your eyes when the sun is shining. Looks great. The interior is exceptionally nice and like I mentioned, it has a great Vintage Air Conditioner/Heat Unit that keeps the cab comfortable during all times of the year. And check out that awesome chrome tilt steering column......NICE. It has the original gauges to retain the nostalgic look but also has a nice set of modern gauges directly to the right. Looks totally cool. Oh, did I mention it has electric windows and a great stereo? Well, it does. Oh, let me also mention that in the past this truck was used for advertising State Farm Insurance Companies. Check out the license plate on the truck. If you sound it out, it says 1 GOOD NEIGHBOR. Speaks for itself. The only reason I am selling my beautiful truck is I have the "itch" for a really nice trike such as a Boss Hoss Trike, or a Victory Vision Trike, or a Harley Ultra Trike or some similar really nice trike. Other than this "itch" of mine, I would not be selling my truck. Ok, some details about the auction. I will not sell to foreign buyers but I will work with buyers from Canada and Mexico. I will not ship but will cooperate with the shipper of your choice or you can fly into the El Paso, TX International airport where I will pick you up and you can drive it home. And it will be a great ride. Bidders with a 5 or less feedback rating need to call me first at 915-276-1505 to discuss how you would pay, etc or your bid(s) can and probably will be removed without notice. I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as the truck is advertised elsewhere as well. However, if the auction meets the reserve, I will complete the sale on eBay regardless of any other outside offers I may get. If payment is made with any kind of check, the truck and title will not be released until the check has had sufficient time to clear my bank. Or you can deposit the money directly into my Wells Fargo account. Thanks for looking at my truck On Oct-31-13 at 20:08:28 PDT, seller added the following information: I have been asked what type of front end the truck has and I apologize for the oversight. It has a Mustang II front end with power disc brakes. Handles and stops real nice |

This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again.
