Here we have a 1937 Ford Pickup on a homebuilt boxed frame - z'd rear end. It is powered by a 1971 Ford 302 out of a Torino with a 1974 Ford Mustang C4 transmission. I have no title for the vehicle - most states don't require you to have one, just a bill of sale for such an old truck (It has a # stamped into the cab but MA is too tough to get a title from) - or just drive her as is - this is what I've done! I've replaced the intake manifold, put on a new Edlebrock 650cfm carb, new water pump with new hoses, new electronic ignition with new wires, new radiator, new lines, new push rods, new aluminum valve covers, new tires and a new aluminum spun 10gal gas tank. It has an ez wire fuse box (lines need to be tightened up) with running oil pressure, amps, and temp guages. New lights (brake, head), high beams and horn. I've taken the truck to where it it is but have no time and have lost interest. Will start up and run but needs to be 'dialed in' - drops out sometimes when I shift it into drive. Truck is fun and gets tons of interest at local cruise nights, but I need something for the entire family. I'll be happy to try and answer any questions you have but I've listed just about everything I know about the gal. She's a rat, she's fun, and she needs a little love to finish her. All the work on her has been done by me. Good luck bidding, she is as is, where is. Buyer must pick up - I will not be responsible for shipping. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24hours of auction end. I invite anyone who would like to check her out to set up an appointment to stop by - I will be available at request. Truck is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Thank you!

Watch Ken Block's scary Rally America crash from inside the cockpit
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ken Block became famous for his series of Gymkhana videos, but he's a real racer in his own right. Block has competed many rounds in the FIA World Rally Championship and also rallied in the 2013 Rally America series. He nearly won that latter title last year - if not for a massive crash in the final event of the season.
Block and his co-driver Alex Gelsomino went into the Lake Superior Performance Rally needing a win to take the championship. However, missing a clump of dirt on the side of the road and one little word in the pace notes was all it took to catapult Block's Fiesta off the road and into a tumbling accident. Block says his initial reaction was anger because the crash came out of nowhere.
For 2014, Block is joining the FIA World Rallycross Championship for at least three rounds. He'll drive a Ford Fiesta for the Hoonigan Racing Division at the Norwegian, French and Turkish events of the 12-round championship. Former Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve will also compete in the series.
Toyota, Ford not interested in FCA merger
Mon, Jun 15 2015Sergio Marchionne will preach the benefits of mergers to anyone who'll listen, but his calls for industry consolidation may be falling on deaf ears. At least, that is, the ears of those who the Fiat Chrysler chief would most like to bend. Not only is General Motors uninterested, but according to The Detroit News, neither are Toyota or Ford. "It's something we would not be interested in," said Toyota's North American chief Jim Lentz, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Toyota Technical Center. "At 10 million (vehicles) we have enough scale right now to do what we need to do. There really would be no advantage for us." Toyota isn't the only one unenthused by the prospect of merging with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The Detroit News also reports that Ford, though it may yet to have been approached by Marchionne, wouldn't be interested either. "We're not a suitor for FCA," said Ford CFO Bob Shanks. "We don't see that type of opportunity as one that applies to us." With GM, Toyota, and Ford expressing disinterest in Marchionne's merger idea, the FCA chief will likely start looking elsewhere – or look for other ways to compel his primary candidate to reconsider. He may eventually find a partner – more likely in the Far East or within Europe – but it may not take the form of the major player Sergio has hoped for.

Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.
