This is a running and driving, 1947 Ford Pickup, and could be your daily driver. This One of a kind truck was designed for Mike Keller who plays with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and as you can see from the flyers, and stickers and autographed hub caps has been to many a concert and show. We owe Don Nustag for blessing the world with this beautiful truck.

1947 Ford

1.) Plain Satin Black paint job,

2.) Sound Flathead six

3.) Electrical system converted to 12 volt

4.) Interior completely covered in sound proof / heat shield

5.) Original seat mounts rebuilt

6.) Bed Rebuilt with 2" tubing

7.) Pioneer CD player JBL monitors

8.) Good tires

9.) Fresh brakes

10.) 36 inch Ludwig bass drum for fenders

11.) Zildjian Cymbals for hub Caps

12.) The cymbal bag holds the x tire iron

The bed wood supports are solid so someone could replace them if they decided to take it from RatRod to show truck.

This is a simple Ratrod, insulated, rewired, and garage kept from day one! So keep your offers real. when she is washed and clean she looks sweet, and gets plenty of looks. Would consider trade and cash, or trade up, love T-buckets, and pre 66 vehicles. I love chopped Old cars and trucks. No telling what I might like, but no motorcycles, I have several already.

If this baby does not sell like she is, I'm going to replace with original bed, redo Interior, repaint to original, and sale it for big bucks because I done the work like I did the last one, and she sold for 26k. So if you want it lets make a deal, I have cash if your trade is worth more. But don't ask for trade and cash for a vehicle you inflated the price on, I'm honest and will call it like it is and expect same from you.

I posted a video of her running on you tube at: http://youtu.be/5L0TcFCoEuA

Thanks and good luck guys

1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
