In this auction offered to you by Rusty Nuts Originals in Greenville, SC is a very nice, very original, very solid 54 F100. The story behind the truck goes...it was a high school shop class project nearly 30 years ago, owner passed away, and had been sitting in the garage for the last 28 years. Having been garage kept for the last 28 years, its in incredible shape. The entire cab and front half of the truck are rust free with one or two small dings. Original cab corners, floor boards, etc.The bed is not original to the truck and is not in the condition of the front half of the truck but is still in good shape. We bought the truck with two beds, a 54 bed and a 48 bed. The bed is a combination of the best of both, 48 bed sides, 54 fenders and tail gate. The bed has some surface pitting but no severe rust. With all that being said, this is an awesome shop or advertising truck or a very good start for a restoration. The truck runs and drives like a top, shifts well, and everything in and on the truck works like a new one, with the exception of the lazy vacuum operated wipers. Its got a set of brand new white stripe tires, new king pins and the rear signal/brake lights are new from LMC. The odometer reads 24,xxx but in South Carolina antique vehicles mileage are exempted on the titles, so we have to assume thats 124k miles. The truck doors are hand painted with a vintage A&W Rootbeer sign and the dash is pinstriped, but we are a full service shop and can accomodate and custom pinstriping or your shops logo, and we also grind whitewalls so these white stripes can be wide whites with a phone call, contact below for details. It is offered with a clear SC title and as with all of our auctions, this vehicle carries no warranty and is represented truthfully to the best of our knowledge. Shipping will be entirely the winning bidders responsibility and a deposit of $1000.00 is due within 24 hours of the close of the auction. This truck is also for sale locally so we reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Should you have any questions about the truck, please ask them prior to bidding via Ebay, direct email at Andy@rustynutsoriginals.com or call the shop at 864-386-6887 and don't forget to check us out on Facebook or just Google Rusty Nuts Originals to visit our website.

Ford says utility vehicles are key to global growth
Tue, 26 Nov 2013While most of us believe that small, fuel efficient cars are the key to global expansion for US automakers, Jim Farley, Ford's vice president of Global Marketing, thinks otherwise. Last week, we attended an exclusive sneak preview of the Ford Edge Concept in advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and Farley told us that it's actually utility vehicles that will help the Blue Oval gain market share overseas. "There is no other segment in our industry that is growing like utilities," he said. "We expect over the next five years this full family of [utility] vehicles to really drive our growth as a company."
And Farley has the numbers to back it up, too. Ford projects overall automotive sales to grow 23 percent from 2012 to 2017, but the company's utility vehicles are expected to boom by an impressive 41 percent during that same period. Much of that growth will be in China, where Ford estimates its utility sales will explode. "The biggest opportunity for us globally for utilities is in China," Farley said. "China utility growth is expected to more than double from where it is today to 2017, which isn't that far away." Most astounding is that Ford projects its own utility sales in China will eventually increase by more than 2,000 percent when smaller crossovers, such as the EcoSport and Kuga (sold as the Escape in North America), and the Edge and Explorer, are factored in.
Ford's VP also expects utilities to lead the way in the struggling European market. "With all the difficulties of the European market, there is one segment that has actually expanded in volume over the last several years even though the market is way down, and that's utilities," Farley told us. Ford estimates that their utility sales will grow 65 percent in Europe from 2012-2017. "The utility segment is projected to grow we think about thirty percent between now and 2017 in Europe, and we think we are going to grow twice that rate as a brand," Farley continued.
Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?
Wed, 30 Oct 2013A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.
Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively.
