You are Bidding on my 1955 Ford Pickup.
The paint as you view it has taken 3 Generations of ownership to acheive and a Life-time of Memories.
The Truck lives here in Bakersfield California just a very short 12 miles from the "World Famous" Famosa Drag Strip, it has spent it's entire life Here, with the exception of the first year which was spent in a high desert community between Bakersfield and Los Angeles.
You will notice the "Typical City or County" Orange paint weathered under the Burgandy, yep it was originally a 6-cylinder 3 speed County owned truck that went to auction shortly after its first year of service because the town which owned became over extended and it was sold at auction.
It has spent the rest of its life between home and the Dragstrip with countless trips to Muroc and Utah to the Salt at Bonneville. She still wears the decals of visits past and hope she always will.
The truck was stolen in 2009 but recovered, it was at this point I decided to give her a "New Life".
This has been a Very Tough Decision on my part and my Son and Grandson's to even offer this truck up for Auction, but we have so lets get on with the details of the package.
There are 282 miles total on the 454 Big Block Chevy,Thumper Cam, Rectangular Port Heads, Built and done correctly.
Exhaust system is completly new and does have "Electric Cut-outs", and they sound great. So extra nice to have that Hot Rod Noise and added boost at your finger tips.
Horse-Power is backed-up by a Freshly built 700R Automatic Transmission with the same mileage time.
The Rearend is a "Currie" 9" unit running 3.78"s which make for a wonderful High-way crusing truck.
TCI Mustang Front End with 4 wheel Disc Brakes all the way around. It runs and stops the way it should be expected to.
Full Chrome Tilt Steering Column, and a beautiful engine turned dash.
The Upolstery is a very traditional "Black & White Tuck and Roll with pleated inserts and door panels to match. Headliner is smooth and perfect to match.
Firestone 16's all the way around 890's in the rear and 600's in the front. Truck drives smooth and straight. No Problems.
All wiring and electrical Front to back and Fuse Panel under dash is New and everything works as it should.
This time around we went to one-piece windows to keep the wind-wing bandits away, added under dash heat and air.
Bed wood is new with Stainless steel strips and all stainless steel hardware throughout.
Tilt Hood as shown.
I do have the spare tire carrier which has been powder coated Glossy Black. I also have a complete set of new door rubbers which will also go with the truck along with photos of the truck throughout its rebuild.
My Eddie Meyer Air-Cleaner will not be included with the truck as it was a gift from my wife. (No Exceptions Guys, Sorry)
I'm sure that I have left something out so please ask. I will reply as quick as I can, however I do actually have a real Job and do not have constant access to be able to respond.
Please do not wait until the closing moments of the auction to ask questions because you will be geeted by thin air it just will not get a response on short notice.
The Truck is listed with a very realistic reserve considering what it was, and what it is today. You couldn't Fake this Truck in your wildest Dream.
It is what it is so view the pictures and bid accordingly.
Please Note, if you have less than favorable or a recent negative or non-Payment Strike your Bid will be cancelled No Exceptions.
Just ask if you are in Doubt!

Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely
Wed, 20 Nov 2013It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.
Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany
Sat, 29 Jun 2013Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.
The 11 most expensive American cars ever
Tue, 12 Aug 2014Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris. With the Pebble Beach festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari could take that title back in Monterey this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
Follow on below for the top ten cars that are red, white, blue and a whole lot of green.
