1970 Ford F100 Custom- Mach I Muscle Truck-*all Gas -no Monkey * Frame Off Resto on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
This has been a great project. I've been faithful in every way I could in restoring this truck to original, while also updating it with a seriously Custom new look. This truck has a solid 351 Cleveland engine ( from a Mach 1 Mustang 1971) with tons of power and running perfectly. It has a three speed on the floor with a B & M shifter and shifts smooth. Lays down rubber for Half a block. A few new parts ( freeze plugs, alternator , battery, battery cables ,voltage regulator) , and a tune up/ oil change were the first thing done. Then the truck got a New dual exhaust system from front to back with Dynomax Super Turbo Mufflers, New 3" pipe and chrome tips, taken out the sides right behind the rear wheels.
I completely dis-assembled the truck and sand-blasted the entire cab , cut out any rust spots a had them re-welded in with 16 gauge steel. Then I eliminated the rear bumper and welded in a custom roll pan for that tucked-under look. Also got a new grill, billet inserts and a brand new chrome bumper. new front signal lights, and new lenses in the back. Then it came to the brakes and steering. New wheel cylinders , brake lines, rag joint , I beam bushings, tie rods, axle pivot bushings, Brake pads. Steering is solid as a rock and brakes are tight. I ripped out the whole interior and painted white - re upholstered the seat with new burlap , foam , and a new custom Red/ Maroon vinyl seat cover. Fatmat insulation installed to reduce road / engine noise. New Red carpet, Headliner, New gauges (aircraft style) and a steel gauge panel from a 1967 F-600 complete the interior. New windsheid, rubber gaskets on all windows and doors+ plus new tracks and felt guides on the door windows. The truck got a set of American Eagle Racing Aluminum 5 spoke spades 15 Wheels and sits nice and low on the R245s. This truck is cherry, No rust anywhere, period. Painted engine compartment red, and painted the motor original Ford Cleveland Blue. Then I took the truck into paint with a smooth Rainbow Flake over Gloss Black paint job that pops eyes out of their sockets wherever it goes. The paint is amazing in person and everyone who sees it cant stop talking about it. I got the idea for the paint scheme from a R/T Charger I saw online , and Ive never seen another one like it. This truck is being classified as a Starter Hot Rod. Because it could be taken further with A/C , stereo, ect. But I will leave that to the next owner. I will add more photos soon, as I am still installing new parts; I have put on New door handles, locks and windshield wipers since I took these pics. I have a new original radio antennae that will be installed. I was inspired by a favorite TV show of mine , you know the one where they customize classic cars and drink beer. Pretty much the same thing went down in my shop. I unleashed a team of metal maniacs on this beast and turned her into the beauty you see before you. It took my 1 year to do all this and hundreds of hours of labor. Im sure the new owner will appreciate the attention to detail. Make a serious offer and I will seriously consider it. But please don't make offers if you are not sure about it or don't have the money right now. Buying a classic car is serious business. This is a seriously bad-ass truck. |

Ford Australia goes miniature with Beachkhana 1.0 video
Tue, Mar 3 2015Ken Block's Gymkhana franchise may have started with Subaru, but it's most closely associated with Ford, which the rally star joined way back in 2010. That fruitful partnership has spawned a number of Gymkhanas, and Block even showed up to help introduce the new Focus RS. To honor this, Ford Australia has come up with an adorable parody (for lack of a better word), starring the hero Sun Block. Rather than a full-scale rally Fiesta piloted by a Vegemite-munching Aussie, though, Ford of Oz has gone tiny for its tribute. Really tiny. The product is Beachkhana 1.0 – Wild on the Beaches of Australia, is a funky little stop-motion feature using tiny, 1:43-scale cars in much the same manner as Mr. Block drives his Fiesta rally car. It even pokes some fun at Mercedes-Benz's hilarious Magic Body Control ad. Check it out.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible shown on Twitter [UPDATE w/video]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013It hasn't yet been 12 hours since the hotly anticipated 2015 Ford Mustang has been let out into public view. After a series of evocative leaks over the course of the last days, we brought you a full deep dive of the sixth-generation pony car at the dawning of today. And yet, here we are rushing to bring you news of a new Mustang variant, already.
Be it part of a plan to keep the Mustang fervor at full boil, or a misunderstood email somewhere in the chain of command, Ford UK has unceremoniously tweeted a picture of the 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible. For a newly global Mustang, getting our first look at the droptop from the convertible-crazy British does make some amount of sense.
As for details, well, you're looking at them. Brandon Turkus reported yesterday that the Mustang 'vert would make use of a fully electric convertible mechanism, and that it would be of fabric construction rather than some kind of retractable hardtop. We see here that the fabric part is clearly true, and it does look as though Ford may still be employing the same kind of manually attached tonneau cover that exists right now. Of course, our view from this angle isn't great, and the particulars are still up in the air.
