1956 Ford F100 Pickup with original Big Back Window. Some custom features: gray smoke tinted glass, no vent wings, one piece glass power windows, oak bed with custom gas tank in the rear frame under the bed, custom designed interior using the original seat in a waterfall pattern black with red piping, dark gray carpet and chrome side carpet keepers. Selling this truck for our son who is in the Air Force, recently married and having a baby. The truck has the ford 302 small block engine, the ford AOD automatic overdrive, brand new exhaust and glass packs front to rear, 22 gallon mustang fuel tank under bed, brand new balanced drive shaft, brand new 1 wire HEI distributor, all new fuel pump, water pump, plugs wires etc etc. All new upholstery including mid fifties form fit black headliner, new mustang 2 disc brakes in front, 9" Ford drum rear end , all brake system is brand new, new aluminum 4 core radiator with polished shroud and chrome 3000CFM 16" fan. This is an original big back window truck. Our son took it down to the bare frame and then painted the frame a chassis black paint. He wanted to keep the original front axle. He added a set of reversed eye front lowering springs. He had the entire front tin around the core support powder coated black gloss including the inner fenders.. He installed all new rubber everywhere, new body mounts, motor mounts, tranny mount. He purchased and installed the red oak bed wood and stainless strips and bolts. The back glass was missing when he bought the truck so he purchased that and then installed the 1 piece tinted windows in the doors. He filled in the dash ashtray and radio holes. He never decided what radio system he wanted so none was ever installed. He has the original heater and had it powder coated but never got round to finding a heater core or installing the heater.The chrome grill is from Bob Drake Ford along with almost $2000 worth of other goodies and chrome stuff he bought from Bob Drake. The truck has some work to do to finish it up but overall a really nice rust free example. The fenders and cab had very little body work to do and a friend of mine hammer finished, (peck and filed), what we did find. To be quite honest, our son wanted to go into the USAF and he just plain lost interest in all his vehicles.

Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]
Mon, 20 May 2013Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.
2013 Shelby GT350
Fri, 31 May 2013Shelby is a name as synonymous with the Ford Mustang as marshmallows are with campfires. But unlike the short-lived sugary confection that is prepared on a stick, the late Carroll Shelby's name on the placard means added performance and exclusivity. Launched in 1965, the automaker's celebrated early cars were in production for a limited run - today, a mint concours-quality 1965 Shelby GT350 can sell for upwards of $350,000.
To coincide with the 45th anniversary of the original Shelby GT350, Shelby American reintroduced the GT350 in 2011. Like the original, it was only offered in white with blue stripes. Customers were offered a choice between naturally aspirated (440 horsepower) and two levels of supercharging (525 horsepower with a warranty or 624 horsepower without). The manufacturer calls the GT350 a "post-title" package, a term that means it starts out life as a stock Mustang and is modified outside Ford's factory (this is in contrast to the Shelby GT500, which is a standard Ford production car).
As the GT350 enters its third year, Shelby has made several changes. Mechanically, Wilwood brakes replace Baer units and Recaro seats and a tinted glass roof are on the options list. Cosmetically, the vehicle is now offered in most of the Blue Oval's factory colors, new multispoke wheels are available in Satin Black or Bright Silver Metallic finish, and customers can choose between Satin Black, Silver or Gloss White stripes (or Azure Blue Metallic on Performance White or Ingot Silver). Aesthetically, the look of the car has also changed somewhat - keen eyes will note that it actually appears more 'stock' than it did last year.
Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007
Sat, 21 Sep 2013Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.
