   Up for auction is on 1948 Ford F1. I bought it and put some work into it, then sold it to a friend and he put some work into it and recently I have bought it back and put some more work into it.
 The brakes have been over hauled with new shoes, wheel cylinders, flex lines and hardware. The drums are in good condition and should offer years of faithful service.
 The front end has been rebuilt. The front axle is a dropped unit that lowers the front 3" without giving up ride quality. Bushings, bearings, tie rods and king pins were all replaced.    
    The front springs have been disassembled, cleaned and painted. The grooves have been smoothed out and the edges polished. The individual leaves were greased and a poly slider was placed in between each leaf. The original springs are supple and with the upgrades give a pretty smooth ride. While the front end was off the frame was cleaned up and painted POR black. The front end has been professionally aligned and the caster is set at a steady 7 degrees.
     The rear tires are new 16 700 Firestone wide white walls. The front are used 15 g78 tires. The rear springs were also disassembled and cleaned, three leaves were removed. The rear is the original unit. New u-joints were installed front and rear and the drive shaft was professionally balanced.
     The engine has 70k miles on it before we pulled it down to a short block. Pre-emission heads were swapped in for better flow. Major components were inspected and then reassembled with new oil pump, new timing gear and chain set. The alternator, water pump and regulator are also new. Of course new plugs, points, cap and rotor were used as well. The carburetor is an Edelbrock 600cfm. Tthe truck responds well to acceleration and does not bog or smoke. The engine is connected to an FMX trans that came with the donor car and is believed to have apx 70k on it as well. The filter and fluid were changed before it was installed. No burned smell or excessive metal were noted. The engine and transmission motivate this old truck very well.
  The truck has been rewired and turn signals added. There are two aftermarket gauges under the dash to help monitor heat and oil pressure. The truck holds a steady 30 psi when hot and obviously more when cold. The engine temperature stays in the 180 range with the help of an electric fan that is controlled by a toggle switch. The heater blows hot though the duct work needs replaced. The wiper motor has been rebuilt and works very well for a vacuum operated motor.

  This truck is being sold AS IS . And it IS a project. It is NOT a finished vehicle. The truck has been driven on the street off and on for years, but it is not ready for daily driver status. There is plenty of tuning and tweeking to be done.The need for body work should be obvious from the pictures. There is a little bit of rust everywhere. Again, see pics. Windows seals will need to be addressed at some point. And the seat needs to be recovered. That blanket is there to keep the springs from poking through. The driver's side window and regulator will need to be replaced. The window dropped abruptly and broke when the regulator failed. I would recommend rebuilding the steering box at some point as well. There is slop unless you over tighten the adjustment and then you get a wobble under deceleration from 60 -55mph. In other words, it steers like an old truck.

  This truck is being sold as is, where is. I can help with storage or reasonable requests for helping with transportation. I will not arrange shipping. I will work with whatever shipper you choose. I will make myself available, meet you tdriver and assist with loading, but I will not arrange shipping.
 I will need a Non-refundable deposit of 1000 dollars within 24 hours of the auction ending. Final payment must be made within 5 days of end of auction.Cash or check is fine, but payment must clear before the truck leaves our custody. This truck is for sale locally as well and we reserve the right to end this auction early. If you have any questions, just call me. Doug 804-283-6578.  The truck can be seen at:

Joe Smith Early V8 and Hot Rod

 That's exit 83b off of 95.

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles

Mon, May 13 2024

It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST priced from $21,400* [w/poll]

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

The 2014 model year brings a whole host of changes to Ford's Fiesta B-Segment fighter, the most important of which (to our enthusiast eyes, anyway) is the addition of a potent new ST model. The US-spec hot hatch was first shown at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show last November, and thanks to Ford's build-and-price site, we've now learned that the Fiesta ST will slide in at $21,400 when it goes on sale later this year (*not including $795 for destination).
Under the hood of the ST is a turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline-four good for 197 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed manual transmission. Ford hasn't released performance data on its pint-sized puncher just yet, but know that these numbers make the Fiesta ST ever-so-slightly more powerful than the larger Volkswagen GTI while returning an estimated 34 miles per gallon on the highway.
Elsewhere in the lineup, the standard Fiesta also gets a smattering of improvements for the 2014 model year, including a new 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine and revised exterior styling. Pricing for the 2014 Fiesta sedan starts at $14,000, with the five-door model adding $600 to that number (again excluding the $795 destination fee).
