Up for purchase is a very unique Ford pickup truck.  I have owned this truck for years, however I don't frequently drive it.  

Great looking stance (lowered - budget spring cut), great mechanical condition and reliable with every start attempt.  Starts and drives every time, shifts very well, brakes are functional, windows roll up and down, radio is missing but the wiring is there.  The engine was rebuilt about 6-7k miles ago, transmission has less than 500 miles since rebuild (oil pump and torque converter).  Holly carb, e-cam, shorty headers, flowmaster exhaust - all else is stock.  

Cosmetically the truck had surface rust from the paint and clear coat fading over the years, however we did apply a topical rust treatment and then proceeded to freehand a variety of copper, blue, gold, brown and pearl shades to the paint.  We then clearcoated the truck with a satin finish clearcoat (plastidip).  It can easily all be removed if someone were to opt for a full or partial restoration.  Interior is stock and nearly mint - including a brand new dash pad and new upgraded bench seat.  

The bed floorboard had rust from having trash and debris stored in it for years (held moisture) however the bed is functional again because of the new wood floor bed insert that was fabricated for it.  The truck I believe was equipped with factory air since new, but I don't believe it's functional anymore.  Heat works.  Tires are in good shape and are fairly new.  

The ride is very stiff and bouncy due to the lowering procedures - however there's a great deal of aftermarket support for these platforms and a smooth suspension can be installed very inexpensively per the new owner's preference.  

I built this truck as a display piece and occasional cruiser around town.  It's been parked in front of my shop for awhile now and I am ready to let it go to a new home.  If you have trade offers or would like to inquire about additional work you'd like done to this truck, I can quote that and make arrangements for completion.  It's a mechanically reliable, head-turning long bed truck - use it for whatever you'd creatively think of.  

I own a specialty fabrication shop in Raleigh NC and i'd love to answer any questions you may have about the truck.  Please call or text before bidding if you are unsure about your decision - I will report any unpaid activity.  My number is 9one92642OO7  Feel free to make trade offers.  

Happy bidding.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.

Roush getting back into sport compact business with Focus ST mods [w/video]

Wed, 29 May 2013

Roush Performance offers a whole raft of parts for folks looking to tune their Ford Mustang and F-150 models, and now Focus owners can start getting in on the hotted-up action, too. Owners of the 2012-13 Focus and 2013 Focus ST can now get a Roush cold-air intake system, and ST owners can also opt for a high-performance cat-back exhaust.
Although all of these components are now available for order, the parts will ship sometime in July; no word yet on pricing. Down the road, Roush will also offer styling upgrades for the Focus as well as performance tuning upgrades such as engine controller, suspension, wheels and tires. Scroll down for a quick video of what the Focus ST exhaust sounds like, as well as a Roush press release.

Fields 'required' to use private aircraft, could make $5.25M as Ford CEO this year

Thu, 03 Jul 2014

Mark Fields' travels on the friendly skies will soon be a relatively personal affair, as the new CEO at Ford will be required to resume air travel via the company's private planes. Fields caught plenty of flak in 2007 for flying on the company's dime to visit his family in Florida. He's since flown commercial.
According to Ford spokesperson Susan Krusel, who spoke to Bloomberg, Fields (pictured above right, with Bill Ford, Jr. at center and Alan Mulally at left) will switch to private travel "for safety and to maximize his availability for company business." In addition to his new travel arrangements, the 53-year-old exec's salary and bonuses have been revealed.
Regulatory filings by Ford revealed that Fields, whose first day in the big chair was July 1, will receive a base salary this year of $1.25 million and he'll be eligible for $3.5 million in bonuses, both of which are lower than Alan Mulally's $2 million salary and $5.88 million in bonuses received last year. That's also lower than General Motors CEO Mary Barra's alleged $1.6-million salary and considerably less than Sergio Marchionne's $3.19-million fixed salary from Fiat. Despite falling short of other CEOs, Fields' new pay still represents a 33-percent increase over his pay as Chief Operating Officer.
