Up for bids is this 1939 ford truck. This is a very unusual not often seen truck. Most of these are gone by the way side. The few that are left are either rusted to the ground, fixed up into high dollar trucks, or have already been made into rat rods. The way this one sits you could do basically what ever you wanted to do with it. It could be restored into a show truck, rat rod, street rod, hot rod, or just a simple driver so its an open book on this one. I got the truck from another gentleman who had it sitting in his warehouse for around 20 years. He got it from another couple who had it sitting in there barn for 25-30 years previous to that so its been off the road and in storage for around 40-50 years. I guess thats why it is still here today. otherwise it would of probably been rusting away. The body is really pretty solid. It has several dents and dings but over all the main structure is solid. The frame, cab, doors, running boards, bed, hood, fenders are all pretty solid. The body is pretty complete except for the tailgate. The motor and transmission is gone. I guess it was a flat head V8 originally. It will steer and roll. The doors will need some adjusting to shut correctly. The hinges are stiff and need to be alligned some more. When I got this truck it was pretty much dissasembled. I guess this was going to be someones project along time ago and it never took place. I would love to see someone get this and make something out of it. You see alot of the run of the mill cars but not to many 30's model trucks left out there. I took pics of everything that goes with it. I have the windshield frame, some interior pieces, and a few other pieces. I have a clear title to it. If you have questions or need more info just let me know. I will require full payment within seven days of the end of auction. If you need more information and would like to talk to me give me a call at 318-278-1069.

Ford Mustang 50th anniversary edition brings in $170k

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Just the other day, we reported on the first Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat selling for a whopping $825,000 at auction. But impressive as that sum was, the Challenger wasn't the only sought-after modern muscle car to cross the Barrett-Jackson auction block in Las Vegas this past weekend. So did this rare Ford Mustang.
The last of 1,964 special-edition 50 Years Limited Edition pony cars sold for a princely $170,000, with proceeds benefiting the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute, a branch of the Henry Ford Health System.
The pony car in question is based on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and upgrades with a performance package and nearly every option on the book, along with a unique appearance package to set it apart in celebration of the Mustang's 50th anniversary. It's available in two exclusive shades - Wimbledon white or Kona blue - with either a manual or automatic transmission. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples were to be built, and this was the last of them.

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.

USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.
