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

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.

2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.

Ring Brothers shows 1965-66 Mustang fastback carbon fiber body

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

We covered one of Ring Brothers' more extreme SEMA builds yesterday, the De Tomaso Pantera-based ADRNLN, but if that well-executed but over-the-top Italian-American exotic is too much for you, then perhaps this Ring Brothers 1965 Ford Mustang fastback with a carbon-fiber body suits your tastes better.
What the performance-parts manufacturer is showcasing with the Mustang is the carbon-fiber body itself, which is fashioned around the 1965-66 fastback. It can be bought from the company and bonded to the skin and unibody as a do-it-yourself project, or you can take your Mustang to Ring Brothers and have the body installed there. The fenders, doors and quarter panels are two-inches wider than stock, and Ring Brothers offers a custom widebody chassis to those who want the complete package.
The show car looks sharp in person lowered on HRE wheels, and we appreciate the bare front end so we can see the supercharged V8 and front coilover suspension, though the details on those performance upgrades are slim. Also note the custom independent rear suspension setup at the rear.
