1952 Ford F1 Chop Top Rat Rod!

Please make sure it's a custom rat rod that you want and you will find the hardest work is done! This truck is a sweet set up if you love this look. It takes a ton of work to get them to this stage. It is sold as is, where is. Please come see it, have it checked, ask questions! I have let this thing sit for two years and am just not getting to it as a project so it's time to free up the space.

Nonrefundable $500 deposit due within 24 hours, balance due in cash, cashier's check, or bank transfer. Please do not bid if you do not have immediate funds available.

This is a bad to the bone chop top pick-up! 1952 was the year Ford had the "teeth" grill which you can see looks very cool when set up low like this one.

It has a roller 5.0 302 engine with about 30 pounds of oil pressure at idle and 50 cruising.
It has a Holley 500cfm 2 barrel and dual flows.
Single traction rear end mated to a rebuilt AOD overdrive trasmission
A 69 Camaro clip, Ford 9 inch rear end
Tilt GM column
Power steering and power brakes!
Stereo and heater
Clear title in my name
Yes, the gas tank in the back is a beer keg that holds 15 gallons!

It has a receiver hitch so you can tow if you want. Glass front and back, and plexi side windows that need replacing (See pics, I will include the side window templates if you want to have glass cut - it's flat glass)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Buyer is responsible for all shipping/pick-up
This is a rat rod, not a restored truck. How much work you want to do is up to you. It is right now, a 25 footer (the closer you get from 25 feet the less perfect it looks!).
I went out last week charged the battery (1 year old), topped off the radiator, oil, transmission, and bled the brakes. Started her up and ran her down the road and back. Please copy/paste this link in your browser to see video:
She starts, drives, turns, the brakes and power steering work great. the transmission works in drive and reverse, but is not shifting. I will take it out again this week see if that changed, but you should assume it will need attention on the transmission, and a tune up.

IF you choose "Buy It Now" I will include a spare set of inner fenders (see pics) and an original set of correct running board brackets. If you don't buy it now, I will list those two things in separate auctions.

Finally, you are buying it as is, where is, and I have tried to describe the good, the bad, and the ugly. Please ask questions and check it out, make sure its what you want before bidding. Thanks!!

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.

Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene

Tue, 13 May 2014

Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.

Ford to reveal Vignale sub-brand with special Mondeo in Frankfurt

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

Ford says that 10-15 percent of its customers in Europe want their cars to be set apart from regular Fords - even those wearing the top Titanium X trim - and the Blue Oval will answer them with the Vignale sub-brand. The new brand proposes a more upscale look and a much-improved dealership experience, Autocar reports. The Vignale Mondeo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show to kick off the new endeavor.
The first Ford to receive the Vignale treatment will be the 2015 Mondeo, a Euro-only model, followed by the new S-Max and Edge. The Vignale Mondeo is set apart visually from other Mondeos by a chrome grille and chrome door handles and mirror caps. Mondeo badging will be deleted - only Vignale badging will make an appearance.
The interior will get a more upscale flavor, as well, with quilted leather seats and door trim and leather covering the instrument panel, center console and steering wheel. A Vignale-badged storage drawer will be installed in the trunk, and in-car Wi-Fi is available.
