Location:

For Sale is a beautifully crafted 1965 Ford F100 Styleside Pickup.

The body is very straight and clean of rust. The engine is one of a kind - A professionally built FE 428 Cobra Jet engine with less than 100mi since construction using a " New " old stock engine block. Forged internal components and precise California engine building produce 550+ horsepower and 600ft lbs of torque. Gear shifting is accomplished thru a TCI C-6 automatic transmission with a cobra jet servo, standard valve body and 2000 rpm TCI stall converter. All this power is handled thru a newly built 9" rear-end with 3.89 Richmond gears, Auburn pro series limited slip posi, Moser forged steel custom axles with Torrington bearings & steel retainer plates.

This truck is a no expense spared show/race truck. It has all new mechanical and a completely new electrical system professionally installed by the best of California. It runs and drives excellently and has done the quarter mile in mid 11 second runs. We have not pushed it past that point, as the engine is still being broken in. The body is smooth/clean and could be show room painted within a few days. The interior is setup with a single racing seat and 5 point harness. This makes the Truck an amazingly easy street rod show truck project by simply adding the turn signals and brake lights, then finishing the interior and exterior to your desires. Alternatively, this truck is ready to be an awesome drag vehicle. Just fill the tank and go and don't even worry about the show room paint job!

The truck has spent its entire life in the California desert were it was dry and preserved. I purchased it about 4 years ago and never got around to finishing it to the way I wanted. It's being kept inside my facility in West Palm Beach, Florida. Please email me to schedule an appointment to see and hear the truck.

Bellow is a complete list of the specifications. The truck has a large amount of documentation and spare parts included with the sale. Please - only serious buyers.

2015 Ford Focus

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.

Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.

Ford Explorer gets appearance pack for 2015

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Remember when Ford launched the totally new Explorer in late 2010, and people were skeptical about how the now-crossover would fare, after ditching its traditional SUV roots? Well, we're several years in, and I think we can assuredly say that Ford made the right decision. Sales are better than ever (in fact, May was the current Explorer's best month yet), and the crossover is finding its way into the hands of a whole host of new Ford buyers.
A wholly refreshed Explorer is still forthcoming, but to keep its strong-selling crossover fresh, Ford is offering a host of improvements for the 2015 model year, including the attractive appearance package available on the XLT trim level, pictured above. Outside, the pack gets you goodies like 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, black bodyside cladding and roof rack rails. Contrasting Magnetic Metallic accents are found on the grille, mirror caps and liftgate appliqué, and there's an "Explorer" hood badge and body-colored door handles. Inside, there are new Miko suede inserts in the seats, and the package includes the automaker's Sync connectivity with MyFord Touch infotainment.
Elsewhere in the Explorer range, the Class III trailer tow pack is now standard on the Sport, base models get new 18-inch aluminum wheels, and there are three new colors on offer: Bronze Fire Metallic and Magnetic Metallic.
