You WILL NOT be disappointed in this BEAUTIFUL 1953 EFFIE. She is as pretty and laser-straight one-foot away as she looks in these pictures. I loved this truck as soon as I saw and drove it. If this '53 sounds like a truck you might be interested in, please read on.
 
This beautiful '53 F100 shows 612 miles since a complete frame-off restoration. Every single part in this truck was new, rebuilt, or completely stripped and refinished 612 miles ago. Unfortunately, the gentleman down in Tennessee that built this truck passed away before he completely finished it. I bought the truck from his son, in California, and finished the necessary items.
 
The body was stripped, restored, and painted in a three-stage Ford Mustang (1998-2002) Laser Red Metallic, code E-9. It is laser-straight, with no dings, dents, ripples or waves whatsoever.  The underside is black. The chassis was completely stripped and painted black. All chrome and/or polished stainless trim pieces are in great condition.
 
The soft leather interior is finished in a beautiful warm tan, with gray carpeting. The interior features AutoMeter Street Rod Series gauge system which includes a tachometer and clock. Air temperature is provided via a new Vintage Air AC/heat system. There is no stereo or music system. I like the listening to the soft roar of the engine & exhaust.
 
The engine is a rebuilt (1979) Ford 351" Windsor V-8.The motor is stock except for an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, Edelbrock 1406 4-barrel carburetor, a Mallory breakerless distributor, chrome Ford Motorsports valve covers, and a chrome alternator. The engine is cooled by a new aluminum radiator and electric fan with adjustable fan temperature control. It also has a polished aluminum overflow tank.
 
The 2 1/2" aluminized exhaust system starts with ceramic coated headers, runs through 21" Flowmaster mufflers to tailpipes neatly tuck up under the rear fenders.
 
The power is hooked up via a smooth-shifting C-6 transmission, a Lokar shifter and 9" Ford rearend. The rearend rides on new Posies lowering springs, new shocks, and new Mid-Fifties rear spring hangers.
 
Up front, a Heidt's Mustang II suspension package, with tubular A-Arms, power Rack & Pinion steering, and power disc brakes was professionally installed. Stopping power is provided by a No Limit power brake system (discs in front and drums in the rear)system. A chrome Ididit tilt steering column topped off by a Lecarra steering wheel control steering function.
 
Polished 15" American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels (15" X 6" Fronts, and 15" X 7" rears) are wrapped in Hankook Mileage Plus tires, P215/70R15 Fronts, and P235/70R15 Rears.
 
What does it need? (1) I would replace the carpet in the cab. (2) I haven't driven the truck with the AC on in several months. When I drove it this AM, I noticed that the AC wasn't cold. Upon inspection, I found an oily liquid below the AC hoses, which wasn't engine oil, P/S fluid, or coolant. Since the system is as-new, I'm thinking that one of the AC hoses is leaking bit. That's It! It drives and handles wonderfully.
 
This fabulous '53 F100 is sold As-Is, Where-Is, with No warranty, expressed or implied. The buyer will be responsible for transporting the vehicle after sale is completed. Of course, I will assist in loading the vehicle for transport, if help is requested. This truck is for sale locally, and reasonable offers will be considered, so I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time.
 
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: If you're not absolutely serious about purchasing a vehicle of this caliber, PLEASE DO NOT PLACE A BID. If you do not have the funds in readily available to follow through with this purchase, PLEASE DO NOT hit the "Bid Now" button. I invite any potential bidder to come take a good look at this car and take a test drive before placing a bid. This car is located in Prescott, Arizona, about 1/2 way between Phoenix and Flagstaff (2 hours to each by car).
 
I will not accept any personal checks, cashier's checks, or money orders. A deposit of $500.00, via PayPal or cash will be due within 48 hours of purchase or close of auction. The full purchase price will be due within seven (7) days of purchase or close of auction. A Bank Wire deposit of funds is the preferred method of payment. If you bring that much cash, we will go to a local bank to very it's authenticity. Most of the large banks (B of A, BMO Harris, Chase, U.S. Bank, Washington Federal, and Wells Fargo) have local branches, as well as a number of other smaller and State Banks. If you bank at one of the banks represented locally, we can both go to that bank and arrange a Bank Wire deposit. If you happen to bank at Wells Fargo, we can go to a Wells Branch very close to our home, and the funds can be immediately withdrawn from your account, and deposited in our account. Again, Thank You. Unfortunately we don't know who we can trust anymore, and simply cannot be too cautious.

Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.
