Selling my 1948 ford F-1 hotrod. The truck was originally a Texas truck that I bought and brought home in 2004. The truck was stripped down to the bare frame and the FRAME ONLY was sand blasted and painted black. part of the body has the original black enamel paint from the factory and part of it was lightly sanded and painted flat black because of pealing paint. there is no bondo or filler in the body, what you see is what you get. every panel on the truck is original to the truck with the exception of the patch I welded in the hole where the fuel tank filler hole was in the cab. The front and rear suspension was removed and replace with a Jaguar indepndant rear with a Dana 44 center section with 3.31 ring and pinion and an Auburn competition posi unit ( gears and posi both new last summer) and a Mustang II independant front. The ride is controled by PRO SHOX shocks and springs on the front and (4) QA1 coilover shocks on the rear (rear coil overs all new last fall). The engine is a high performance ford 390 FE that does need to run on race fuel, it does not care for pump gas. The engine was punched 30 over and has forged pistons, Earson cam, Holley 750 carb fed by a Mr. Gasket high volume electric fuel pump, headers custom built and ceramic coated by Sanderson, Edelbrock street master single plane aluminum intake, custom tig welded aluminum valve covers, chrome oil pan and a Davis Unified Ignition HEI conversion distributor custom programed for the engine and truck set up and it is cooled by a Griffin aluminum drag radiaor. The exhaust is 2 1/2" with Flow Master muflers and electric cutouts located next to the headers and controlled by a switch in the cab. You can keep and eye on everything with the Dolphin guage cluster. The transmition is a TCI street fighter C6 (new last summer) controled by a Lokar shifter and cooled by a B&M Super cooler. The wire harnes is all new and is fed by an Optima red top battery tucked under the modern bench seat. Fuel is stored in a beer keg that is mounted in the bed and bolted through the hardwood floor that came from a farm house that was over 100 years old. There is an antique camel back trunk mounted in the bed that makes great storage for your bags when you go away for a weekend trip. Wheels are new Wheel Vintiques steelies and the front ones have BFGoodrich Radial T/A's on the front and new ( less than 300 miles) Nitto 555R Drag Radials on the back. The interior is heated by a new Vintage Air heater/defroster. The truck rides, handles,sounds, and accelerates fantastic and will not dissapoint the buyer. I have a few things that are extra and will go with the truck including a new set of in the box fiberglass running boards, stainless steel tail lights and brackets that I ran for a short while before switching to the single malteese cross tail light, new never used interior door handles and escutions ( outer door handles are new and the originals are included), window crank handles and escutions, windshield gasket, cowel vent gasket and a set of new in the box billet aluminum roller rockers, shafts and stands for the motor. Im sure I am forgetting some parts and if I am they will be included as well. If you do not want the motor, contact me with a REASONABLE offer and if I accept it I will be happy to pull the motor out and sell you the truck without it as I have several thousand dollars invested in it. Please contact me with any and all questions or concerns you have about the truck. It is not a full restoration and it has some very minor body dammage that can be seen in the video, NO BODY WORK HAS BEEN DONE TO THIS TRUCK, I built it the way I wanted it and did not want to destroy the original state of the truck, however that being said it is rock solid and would be a great candidate for a paint job if that is what you are looking for because all the mechanical work has already been done.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AT LEAST 10 POSITIVE FEEDBACK OR IF YOU HAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK DO NOT BID!! The truck was listed a few months ago and the buyer was a scam that tried to rip me off and steal the truck. Also the truck is for sale locally and the auction can end at any time an accepted offer is made either through ebay or locally. thank you and happy bidding.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement. Scroll down to read the recall announcement from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or download the full defect notice as a PDF, here.
Ford Escort Concept goes back to basics
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Here's the thing about China: The folks buying cars there have a very different set of standards than shoppers in many other markets around the globe. While we all drool over hot metal with bold designs, and while we appreciate automakers going an extra step to inject even their cheapest offerings with aggressive and interesting cues, that sort of sheetmetal sex appeal doesn't always sell in the People's Republic. Case in point is Jaguar, which may be designing a more traditional-looking version of its XJ for the Chinese market, or more to the point of this story, Ford currently sells the less-exciting, last-generation Focus compact in China right alongside the new one.
So consider this new Shanghai-bound C-segment concept a preview of what's to come for that more traditional, budget-minded, less-sexy market. More proof of this pudding: Ford's even calling this concept the Escort - a nod to the Blue Oval's compact car days of yore, and a name that stirs up thoughts of basic, affordable transportation rather than great driving dynamics or bold design. "Customers in China described seeking a vehicle that is stylish - but not one that is arrogant or pretentious," Ford states. And this new Escort concept previews a possibility of providing exactly that for this rapidly expanding automotive market.
What you're looking at, then, is one of the most simple Ford designs we've seen of late, though it still incorporates all of the automaker's latest DNA. The signature hexagonal grille is front and center, flanked by attractive LED headlamps and chrome-rimmed foglamp housings. The entire car's design focuses on clean, smooth surfaces, with one strong character line flowing from front to back just below the beltline. We will say that the car looks decidedly more premium from the rear view, where narrow, horizontal taillamps with an LED accent give the car added visual width. Bland as it may be, it's a handsome little concept, though fear what would likely happen if all of the conceptual details get dumbed down for a production model.
How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made
Tue, 06 Aug 2013We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.
