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 |

Ford pits The Stig against Gran Turismo 6 in Focus ST Goodwood run
Thu, 03 Jul 2014The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the world great automotive gatherings. So, it was the perfect event for Ford to give the refreshed 2015 Focus ST its world debut in front of a loving public. It even surprised us with a new diesel-powered version, as well.
The Blue Oval really put its focus on making the ST a better driver for this refresh. It left its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alone to still pump out a respectable 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The changes like a retuned front suspension, electric power steering and improved interior made the hot hatch an even better place to spend time behind the wheel.
To prove that the Focus ST is still as potent as ever, Ford set up a one-on-one race up the Goodwood Hill. But instead of putting the two cars side-by-side, former Stig from Top Gear UK, Ben Collins, piloted the real model up the course, and his rival drove the virtual version in Gran Turismo 6. The two hot hatches set off at the same time to see whether reality could beat the virtual world, and the finish was actually extremely close. Scroll down to watch the video and find out the winner of this battle at Goodwood.
2020 Ford Super Duty Tremor vs. 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon: How they compare on paper
Tue, Jan 21 2020(Editor's Note: Due to inconsistencies in manufacturer reporting methods for ground clearance, an earlier version of this article stated the Ram Power Wagon's "ground clearance" to be 14.3 inches when in fact that is its "running clearance," which is deemed the ground to the lowest point of the truck MINUS the axles. The numbers below now reflect true ground clearance, or the ground to the lowest point of the truck, period. The chart and text have been updated to show both measurements for maximum accuracy and clarity.) For several years, the Ram 2500 Power Wagon has been the unquestioned king of heavy duty off-roaders. But competition is coming, and some of the strongest is from the 2020 Ford Super Duty Tremor. We decided to take a look at these trucks' specs and features to see how they compare in the realm of capability. The raw numbers are below along with some notes on each truck's unique features that go beyond the spec sheet. Off-road capability While both of these trucks boast impressive clambering abilities, each with particular strengths. The Super Duty Tremor earns points for better ground clearance and axle clearance, as well as approach angle. Some of the credit goes to the larger 35-inch tires and a shortened front air dam. On the other hand, the Power Wagon leads the Ford in departure angle, and in the ramp travel index. The latter is largely the result of the Power Wagon's electronically disconnecting sway bars, and for those unfamiliar, the ramp travel index measures articulation by having a truck drive one wheel up a ramp with the other on the ground. The farther the truck goes with the ground wheel in contact with the, well, ground, the better the score and the better the articulation. Numbers aren't everything, though. It's important to look at the equipment each truck offers, and things are closer, here, but the Ram still has an edge. Both feature off-road-friendly solid axles at both ends, but only the Power Wagon has fully locking differentials front and rear. The Tremor has a locking rear differential while the front is a limited-slip differential. The Power Wagon comes standard with a 12,000-pound integrated Warn winch, whereas such a winch is an option on the Tremor. The Tremor has its own unique features, though, including the 35-inch tires rather than the Ram's 33-inchers, and it has Ford's fancy off-road cruise control function called Trail Control. Both trucks have shocks and springs tuned for off-road use.
eBay Find of the Day: 25-station video gaming trailer w/ bonus Ford F-250
Fri, Nov 28 2014Why, you might be asking yourself, is Autoblog showing me an eBay Motors listing for a 2006 Ford F-250 and a box trailer (with a badly cropped photo to boot)? It's not because we're highly interested in this blue-collar rig, to be sure, but rather because we're interested in throwing the greatest Forza party of all time. Housed in that innocuous white 26-foot trailer is a gamer's delight, with 25 Xbox 360 systems connected up to 25 high-definition monitors and 24 headsets to keep everyone locked into the action (one of the stations is outside the trailer). When connected up to one of two included generators, the setup allows for two-dozen combatants to square off, back-to-back and head-to-head. Sure, the Buy It Now price of $79,000 seems steep considering the trailer will need about ten grand worth of Xbox One or Playstation 4 upgrades in the near future. But that doesn't mean you couldn't squeeze out a few more years of massive multiplayer fun. Check out the listing here, and do let us know if you buy it, we'd love to come over and game.
