1974 F-100 Super Cab Barn Find
Survivor One Family Owned truck
No rust very solid

This is the story I got on this awesome rare super cab one owner truck
It was bought brand new in 1974. Same old man owned it all the way up until 2012 when he got sick and was having health problems. At that point due to insurance purposes the truck was removed from his name and put in another family members name. So to me its still a one owner since it stayed in the same family. I found the truck parked in an old garage and it had been sitting there for the last four years untouched. The gas in the tank was so dead I was suprised it would even crank. The previous owner has done some work on it and I have done some work as well. I am going to do my best to describe the truck as accurate as possible. This is a rare truck that is a super cab and has factory a/c, power steering, power brakes, and is a solid rust free body. I havent seen a bit of rust anywhere. It still needs some work but you will not find a better truck to start with anywhere than this one for the money.  Here is a list of parts I can see new that the previous owner done to the truck
New radiator
New starter
New solonoid 
New Battery

I have added the following parts
New plugs
New wires
New fuel filter on the carb
Cleaned the carb with spray carb cleaner
Fresh gas
The truck will fire and run but it still has a terrible miss and is making a pecking noise on the top end. Not sure if its lifters or rockers or what. I ran the firing order and it is all right as far as I can tell. The truck is still missing bad. So I would recommend hauling or towing it to your home. The dead gas could still be an issue not sure.  If I had to guess I would say it would be best to rebuild the engine. I also noticed the heater core is leaking so I unhooked the heater hoses and hooked them together to let them recirculate. I also noticed the master cylinder is leaking so it will need a new one of those. I priced a new booster and master at Autozone for $99. The body is almost flawless. The previous owner said the truck was repainted about 10 years ago. The paint doesnt look bad and with a good buff job would probaly clean up and look good. The passenger front fender has a dent from the old man hitting something before he stopped driving it the family member was not sure what he bumped with it. Looks like you could pop most of it out with a little work. The rear part of the bed on the passenger side also has a bump from the old man and it knocked off the lower trim piece. Other than those two areas there is a small dent in the roof that would be easy to pop out. Those are the only places I have seen. I crawled all under the truck and its as solid as it was the day it rolled off the showroom floor. I have took pictures from all angles of the truck for everyone to see. The interior is almost perfect. The rear seat looks as if no one as ever been back there. The headliner is nice and the front seat has a cover on it. I noticed one little area under the cover on the drivers side from people getting in and out other than that the front seat appears in great shape. The truck has a rubber mat down on the floor with the original rubber floor mat. The owners manual and all books are also included. This truck is sold as is where is with no warranties written or implied. Again this is a solid one owner truck and would make a great restoration project for someone. Like I said the engine needs some attention. I am not a motor man but just what I see and think it would be best to rebuild it or change to another engine.  The blower motor for the heat and air is not working it may be a fuse but I have not checked it. Everything else appears to be working all the gauge lights headlights tailights interior light horn etc all works. If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures just email or call or text. I will be glad to send them to you. Thanks and good luck bidding. 828-217-2546

Ford debuts Fusion NASCAR racer that edges closer to stock [w/video]

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

The sixth-generation NASCAR Sprint Cup racecar, which will make its competition debut at the 2013 Daytona 500 this weekend, marks the closest thing to a "stock car" that the sport has seen in more than 20 years. No longer using just stickers to distinguish the different brands, the image above shows the lengths NASCAR and automakers went in order to create a racecar design that more closely resembles the individual cars they represent.
Ford, one of the more open and vocal OEMs regarding the Gen6 car's development, is giving us a closer look at its racing version of the Fusion with a pretty revealing side-by-side comparison with last years' racer (click above for an expanded view). Aside from the more realistic front end and production-like body lines, the overall shape, dimensions and proportions have also been designed to give the racecar a more stock appearance. Most of the new racer was designed by the Ford Design Center, which the automaker says was the first time it has been so involved in the design process since the 1960s. Of course, one area the Sprint Cup Fusion really differs from the production Fusion is its Ford Racing 5.8-liter V8 producing around 850 hp. Can you say Fusion SVT?
Scroll down for a quick video from Ford Racing showing a production Fusion morph into a Cup car.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."

Ford EcoSport Storm concept swallows a Raptor in Sao Paulo

Sun, 02 Nov 2014

Ford rolled into the Sao Paulo Motor Show with some pretty cool crossovers in tow, the awesomest of all being the EcoSport Storm concept shown above, which draws its inspiration directly from the F-150 SVT Raptor. It packs a lower grille clearly derived from the now-famous muscle truck, as well as a Blue Storm paint job, black and silver trim, special graphics, lower body cladding and 215/75 R15 off-road tires. Don't go holding your breath for a supercharged V8, though; made locally in Brazil, India and Thailand, the tiny EcoSport is typically powered by a three- or four-cylinder engine.
The Storm isn't the only specially prepared Ecosport on show, however, joined as it is by another pair called Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is decked out in matte copper with a black roof, LED fog lamps, 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires and an interior complete with four individual bucket seats, leather upholstery and a full multimedia suite. The Beast, meanwhile, takes a sportier approach with a white pearl finish, blue and orange trim and three-bar grille. It also wears 18-inch wheels and LED fog lamps, but its interior swaps out its rear seats for a bike rack.
Joining the EcoSport show cars was an Edge crossover equipped with all the latest technologies and done up in bright red with three-bar grille, bulging hood, and an interior featuring 10-inch touchscreens and leather upholstery. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
