Sometimes you get the chance to find some well preserved trucks.  And sometimes you get to find some that are just amazing.  This is the amazing one.  So I thought I would test the waters and see if there was anyone interested in it before I start in on it.   The truck from what I have learned belonged to a gentlemen in California who owned an old oil business back in the day.  He ordered it with this custom color for his business.  The truck was in the CA desert its entirety and was built in the San Jose plant.  The vin plate has the letters "SS" stamped in the color section.  That means special order from the factory.  The truck is almost all original.  It has never been painted and does not have any cancer.  In fact, it is very straight except a little fender bender that any collision shop with the right tools could help pull out.  It still has the spare tire under the bed and the beds strips are usable if you wanted to keep that original patina look that is very popular.  The interior is in good shape for it's age and the dash is uncut... The chassis has not been chopped and it is all original.  The only thing that was changed recently by an excited owner that I bought it from was the motor.  It came with a 223, but now has a good running 390 Engine and 4 speed trans.  The motor runs good and the brakes work as well. He left the linkage on the steering column in case you want to go backwards.   The motor seems to have lots of power.  And the install was clean.  Not hacked up.  If you have any questions please call me or send me an email. Jason 480-619-8353     I have owned probably 30 of these trucks and have loved them all but one.  :)  

Thanks for looking, The truck is currently in Arizona.

If you are a zero bidder, please contact me before bidding.  I will cancel your bids if you don't qualify yourself upfront.  

And although this is a running driving truck, I can't guarantee it will drive across the country or even 50 miles across town.  So please make arrangements to have it shipped if you buy it.  I also have tried to describe the truck to the best of my ability.   I strongly recommend that you call or email me with your questions so that you are not confused at what you are getting.  There is NO WARRANTY expressed or implied.  Buyer buys it AS IS.

Ford opens the doors on its Swedish rally skunkworks

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

It's always amazing to see how different kinds of racecars are made. Formula One racers are often constructed in modern architectural marvels that hint at some of the cutting-edge technology going into the racing. Conversely, rallying is all about sliding around on a varied course as fast as possible, but it often leaves a vehicle caked in mud. So it makes some sense Olsbergs MSE, or simply (OMSE) rally car shop in Nynashamn, Sweden, shows technological sophistication in a more down-to-earth setting. It builds Ford Fiesta ST racers for Global Rallycross there, and this new video gives viewers a tour through the work.
Former rally driver Andreas Eriksson runs OMSE. These days instead of racing, he and the company's 46 employees are building Ford racers from scratch. A ton of work goes into constructing each one, and according to Eriksson, it takes 400 hours to complete each body. At times, things are so busy that some of the technicians live in the shop in apartments that are on premises. There's even a restaurant to keep them fed. Sadly the dyno room is empty during this visit, though.
By the time OMSE is done, a rallycross car might resemble a Fiesta ST on the outside, but as you see in the video, it's a completely different beast underneath. Check out the work it takes to build one of them, and scroll down to read more about it in the official release.

Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR and CR Supercars Villain are retro done right

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Gymkhana king Ken Block has had a pretty simple car history in his trademark videos, starting out with Subaru Impreza rally cars before moving into Ford Focus racers for the past four installments. His next video, though, Gymkhana Seven, kind of goes back in time.
Rather than the cutting-edge rally racers of past videos, Block will pilot a heavily modified 1965 Ford Mustang, called the Hoonicorn. How heavily modified is it? Well, Block's Hooligan Racing Division, ASD Motorsports and Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR, spent two years working on it, ditching the standard engine and rear-wheel-drive layout and replacing it with a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8. Yes, that's a NASCAR engine, and it produces 845 horsepower.
A NASCAR-powered Mustang would be news in itself, but it's the other powertrain changes made by Block and Co. that really makes headlines. Power is channeled through a one-off Sadev transmission and all-wheel-drive system, meaning that Block has basically married a NASCAR stock car with a WRC racer. ASD also developed the customized suspension, tubular chassis and roll cage. The wide Mustang body is the work of RTR and Block's own Hoonigan Racing Division, while the 18-inch fifteen52 wheels are shod in Pirelli Trofeo R tires that use a specialized compound exclusive to Block.

Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams

Sun, 11 Aug 2013

As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.
