Before I begin, I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at: 517-425-0129. Although this is a seven day auction, I reserve the right to end early.

You are bidding on the iconic 1951 Ford Pickup. Recently underwent an extensive frame-off restoration, no expense spared, and it shows. Photo documented, work performed by a well-known, award winning shop. Vehicle has been driven less than 500 miles since build, consistent "first place / best in show" winner. As part of the restoration, body was completely dipped to strip all paint, caulk, etc... Frame has been powdercoated black, entire underside nicely finished as well. (see pics) Originally a solid Arkansas truck. Prior owner estimates over $50,000 and close to 3 years invested in this build. Description as follows:

Mechanical: Correct flathead V-8 mated to 3 speed manual trans. Manual brakes and steering. Factory exhaust, new suspension, front-end rebuild, all new brake and gas lines, etc... etc... Runs and drives very well. Nicely detailed engine compartment.

Interior: Nicely finished bench seat interior, sharp camel/blue color theme. All factory gauges restored to new as well as AM radio. All in working order.

Exterior: Base coat / clear coat show quality paint done in 1951 Ford Alpine Blue. All new exterior trim gaskets and weatherstrip. Truck bed done in finished oak. This old classic rides on Coker bias ply wide whitewall tires with paint-matched steel rims and refinished chrome Ford moon caps.

In closing, this is certainly one of the nicest examples you'll find. Take the time to review all the pics and don't hesitate to call with further questions. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by Rare Rides, a licensed MI dealer.

Project Ugly Horse: Part V

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.

Ford Fiesta ST gets worked out on the track

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

We're big fans of the turbocharged Ford Focus ST, and we're plenty excited that the Blue Oval will be offering a similar treatment on the smaller Fiesta here in the United States, too. We first saw the production-ready Fiesta ST five-door at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, and Ford has now released this video of a Euro-spec three-door ST being flung around the track.
But not just any track - the challenging Track 7 of Ford's Lommel Proving Grounds in Belgium. The course features 20 turns and plenty of elevation changes along its 2.7-mile loop, and David Put, a vehicle dynamic specialist at Ford, shows just how good the pint-sized Fiesta ST is at handling the lot, even getting the smallest ST up on three wheels every now and then.
It sure does look like a lot of fun, and makes us really eager for our chance to try this ourselves. Scroll down to see the hot little Ford getting busy.
