1951 Ford F-1 Truck with original V-8 Flathead- ZERO miles on frame-off

Yes, this is the real deal...
This is the rare show truck you have been seeking for years, with a low starting bid and stupid low reserve.

64,721 Miles - Strongly believed to be actual!

Very Low starting price and NO RESERVE.
You will notice that this account has no feedback. It is a new account since fleabay messed me around on my 100%FB account from 1998 "morespam1". Please check FB for that one.

NOTE: We hate to have to to this; but the tire-kickers, low-ballers, bottom-feeders, and other undeveloped lifeforms are brutal. If you do not have cash, permission from your spouse, and a healthy respect for a framed-off clasic, please do not bother wasting your time. If there are not any real buyers paying attention on ebay, I'll just take it to Barrett-Jackson in the fall with my other cars, where it will go BIG. If you have a Buyitnow offer: we will consider it.
To be fair, we will be very reluctant to pull it down once there is a bid over the low reserve. So... the best way to get it is to bid early.

1951 Ford F1 Original/Matching number V8 Flathead with correct Vermillion Red in base/clear
0 miles since complete Frame-off restoration.

Laser straight with best-of-show paint job. We were able to find the formula for the Vermillion Red on the trim tag and it is correct.

Flathead V-8 runs smoothly and starts quickly. Battery relocated from subfloor to firewall

Very rare long-wrap rear bumper.
Grille teeth were painted the correct silver/gray
Bumpers and running boards correct gloss black

New Interior and Carpet, New chrome on hood, Glass is clear and excellent.

Replaced the entire 6v wiring harness to match factory

New wood with 7 coats of clear (top & bottom).

Tires are in great shape

Obviously it is an AS-IS 63 year old truck
Clear Texas title and 5-year Classic registration to drive today
It can go straight from the transport truck to the car show next weekend in your town.

We have a few local dealers sniffing around, so we reserve the right to end early, but they do not move very fast.
We have great respect for real buyers & sellers on fleabay, but emails from low-ballers and the illiterate will not be answered.

Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.

How the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor became a reality

Wed, 01 May 2013

The camouflaged Ford F-150 SVT Raptor prototype captured above blazing its way across the desert during a test run left company engineers giggling in amazement, reveals Jamal Hameedi in a new Autoweek video. Ford's global performance vehicle chief engineer, accompanied by senior exterior designer Bruce Williams, sat down with the publication to discuss the concept and development of the automaker's super off-road F-150.
Designing a high-performance pickup in 2008, right when the cost of gasoline was going through the roof, seemed insane at the time, but the team pushed forward with the innovative vehicle regardless. The interview includes plenty of Ford B-roll footage as visual candy, and the conversations include discussions about exterior design, ride comfort, anti-lock brake tuning, suspension engineering, weight reduction and why it was necessary to make the Raptor visually different than Ford's standard F-150. The model's origin story is very interesting, and you can learn more about it by watching the video below.

Ford Fiesta RS with 250 horsepower mooted

Thu, Jan 29 2015

We know Ford is unveiling a new Focus RS on February 3, and it's heavily rumored to arrive brandishing an all-wheel-drive powertrain and as much as 350 horsepower. The folks at Ford Performance have also promised they are working on at least 12 models through 2020, and that still leaves a lot of time to get additional exciting vehicles out the door. One of those could be an RS version of the Fiesta, according to Evo. An RS take on the latest Fiesta would obviously need substantial boosts in both power and handling ability to warrant the work over the current top Fiesta ST (pictured above), which is already one of our favorite cars. Evo speculates that the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder could be tuned further, possibly up to about 250 horsepower, and the high-performance hatch might even take some inspiration from the Fiesta WRC rally car with an all-wheel drive system. An unnamed Ford spokesperson remained cagey about the chances for the pint-sized hot hatch to Evo, though. "We can't say anything at this moment, but we have promised to produce 12 performance models in the coming years. We'll leave it for you to decide whether that includes a Fiesta at this moment," the source said to the magazine. Evo doesn't expect a launch across the pond until at least 2017, if it actually happens. Of course, there's the lingering question of whether such a niche project would work in the US. In Europe, the Fiesta RS would challenge similarly diminutive speedsters like the Volkswagen Polo R and Audi S1, but true competitors of an equivalent size here would be much more scarce. In fact with 250 hp, the hotter Fiesta could provide unwelcome competition within Blue Oval showrooms for the Focus ST.
