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

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

Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR and CR Supercars Villain are retro done right

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Gymkhana king Ken Block has had a pretty simple car history in his trademark videos, starting out with Subaru Impreza rally cars before moving into Ford Focus racers for the past four installments. His next video, though, Gymkhana Seven, kind of goes back in time.
Rather than the cutting-edge rally racers of past videos, Block will pilot a heavily modified 1965 Ford Mustang, called the Hoonicorn. How heavily modified is it? Well, Block's Hooligan Racing Division, ASD Motorsports and Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR, spent two years working on it, ditching the standard engine and rear-wheel-drive layout and replacing it with a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8. Yes, that's a NASCAR engine, and it produces 845 horsepower.
A NASCAR-powered Mustang would be news in itself, but it's the other powertrain changes made by Block and Co. that really makes headlines. Power is channeled through a one-off Sadev transmission and all-wheel-drive system, meaning that Block has basically married a NASCAR stock car with a WRC racer. ASD also developed the customized suspension, tubular chassis and roll cage. The wide Mustang body is the work of RTR and Block's own Hoonigan Racing Division, while the 18-inch fifteen52 wheels are shod in Pirelli Trofeo R tires that use a specialized compound exclusive to Block.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.
