35 Ford Hot Rod Rat Rod Pick Up Truck Chopped And Channeled Sbc Th350 on 2040-cars
Mission Viejo, California, United States
|
Up for sale is my '35 Ford Rat Rod truck. The body is all steel with a hand fabricated bed, all of the cab, hood, grill and radiator shell are original parts from this Washington state farm truck. The body has been chopped and channeled about 5" and the frame has been stretched about 6". That said, the truck is well sorted mechanically and drives very well, longer trips are not an issue. Windshield is fixed mounted with a functioning windshield wiper.
Drive train consists of a 355" SBC, stock rebuild with an HEI distributor and 650 Edelbrock carb. Trans is a TH350 with a Ford 8" rear and Torque Thrust II wheels. Suspension is a dropped front end on coil-overs front and rear. Disk brakes on the front and drums rear. The bed interior is finished in wood, not the pretiest but it works fine, has a 12 gallon fuel cell and a taneu cover. The hood and two-piece hinged taneu both operate with hidden latch pulls. Interior is pretty spartan, original dash with aluminum insert and aluminum door panels, Mustang II seats and Camaro steering column, CD player in the glove box with speaker boxes behind the seats, and some dynamat to cover the sheetmetal. All windows are good but it does need a new drivers side regulator, maybe $60. The window goes up and down but the regulator is stripped so the window will drop by gravity. I just leave it down. Overall the truck is in very good shape, absolutely no rust, and straight body. The paint is garage sprayed with some imperfections, but looks good. Truck runs well, although the trans and diff have a leak and the SBC pushes some oil past two cyclinders. Looks like a simple valve seal so should be minor. Truck is titled in California with a legit VIN number. Please ask all questions before bidding |

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt
Tue, 25 Mar 2014It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.
Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
Ford UK exec says EVs are a good way to lose a fortune
Wed, Mar 19 2014Stateside, Ford execs are quick to point out the automaker's expansion in the plug-in sector. And despite a minimal presence in the pure EV space, the Blue Oval has been promoting its plug-in vehicles as part of an overall effort to boost fleetwide fuel economy. Too bad the company's UK chief didn't get the memo. There's "no point in us getting behind [EVs] and losing a fortune" - Ford's Mark Ovenden Mark Ovenden, speaking rather frankly at the Geneva Motor Show recently, said he didn't have real high hopes for substantial electric-vehicle adoption and said the company's money was better spent on smaller gas- and diesel-powered engines, the UK's Daily Mail says. Ovenden said of EV development that there was "no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune," adding that his goal was to have variants of Ford's EcoBoost engine in 40 percent of the company's vehicles. Ford has about a 15-percent market share in the UK. The UK doesn't appear to be as kind to the EV as the US. Nissan last year cut the price of its all-electric Leaf there last year by about $4,000, while the company rolled out a promotion for the Leaf late last year, including allowing Leaf drivers to borrow a gas- or diesel-powered Nissan for free for as long as two weeks a year during the first three years of Leaf ownership. In the US, Ford sold just 229 Ford Focus Electrics during the first two months of the year after moving 1,738 units in 2013.
