Body: Box has been shortened about 4" with floor removed to accommodate frame and suspension, included with the auction is a custom made (from Liquid Steel) recessed firewall not installed, the cab is in very good condition with the seat riser, there is some floor rust but the this section should be modified to accept the transmission tunnel, doors are complete and close well, cab corners have very little rust, dash is complete, original and uncut. The body is in the mock-up stage for fitting, hood hinges are new.

Interior: The interior is complete and unrestored, the original bench seat is included, some glass is cracked, the steering column is from a 49 Mercury.

History: I bought this truck from a friend who ran into financial difficulties and was forced to sell it. We had hoped he would recover and be able to buy it back, but a year has gone by and he called and said that wasn't likely to happen. He spent over 30K getting it to this stage, he had no intention of doing paint or bodywork but everything else was going to be high end, and as a result the work done to this point is first class.

Location: The truck is located near Salmon Arm British Columbia a few hours from the Washington border. If the truck is sold to a US buyer I can help with the paperwork I've done it many times in the past, its not dificult

Shipping: I can help locate shipping however it takes a lot of time so I will not give shipping quotes during the auction and then only to the winning bidder.

Contact: You can email any questions or call me directly at 1-250-515-1110

Payment: Payment must be received within 4 days of the end of the auction in the form of cash when the truck is picked up, official bank check (must clear before delivery) or a bank wire transfer.

Overall: In my opinion this is one of the best looking rat rods I've seen, although not finished most of the hard and expensive work is done. I have a large classic car collection and I'm out of space otherwise I would finish it and keep it. I'm offering it unreserved with a low starting bid so if you want a great deal on a really neat rat rod this is your chance. The truck is for sale locally so I may end the auction early. There is no buy it now price but you can make an offer.

Thanks for looking

eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype

Wed, 08 May 2013

Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.

Ken Block hoons his Ford F-150 RaptorTrax on the slopes

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

Ken Block drives Fords. Hoons the heck out of 'em, actually. Mostly Fiestas, but also the occasional Focus or Mustang. But earlier this year, the Gymkhana guru revealed his baddest Ford yet: an F-150 SVT Raptor on tracks. And true to form, here he is putting it to the test in the latest video from Monster Energy and Hoonigan Racing.
Filmed at Baldface Lodge in Nelson, BC, the video pairs Block up with snowboarders Zak Hale and Ethan Deiss for some deep-powder action. You'll want to watch the video for yourself, but the bottom line is that the RaptorTrax beats the heck out of waiting on line for the ski lift. It's enough to make us start to look forward to winter... almost.
