This is a running and driving, 1947 Ford Pickup, and could be your daily driver. This One of a kind truck was designed for Mike Keller who plays with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and as you can see from the flyers, and stickers and autographed hub caps has been to many a concert and show. We owe Don Nustag for blessing the world with this beautiful truck.

1947 Ford

1.) Plain Satin Black paint job,

2.) Sound Flathead six

3.) Electrical system converted to 12 volt

4.) Interior completely covered in sound proof / heat shield

5.) Original seat mounts rebuilt

6.) Bed Rebuilt with 2" tubing

7.) Pioneer CD player JBL monitors

8.) Good tires

9.) Fresh brakes

10.) 36 inch Ludwig bass drum for fenders

11.) Zildjian Cymbals for hub Caps

12.) The cymbal bag holds the x tire iron

The bed wood supports are solid so someone could replace them if they decided to take it from RatRod to show truck.

This is a simple Ratrod, insulated, rewired, and garage kept from day one! So keep your offers real. when she is washed and clean she looks sweet, and gets plenty of looks. Would consider trade and cash, or trade up, love T-buckets, and pre 66 vehicles. I love chopped Old cars and trucks. No telling what I might like, but no motorcycles, I have several already.

If this baby does not sell like she is, I'm going to replace with original bed, redo Interior, repaint to original, and sale it for big bucks because I done the work like I did the last one, and she sold for 26k. So if you want it lets make a deal, I have cash if your trade is worth more. But don't ask for trade and cash for a vehicle you inflated the price on, I'm honest and will call it like it is and expect same from you.

I posted a video of her running on you tube at: http://youtu.be/5L0TcFCoEuA

Thanks and good luck guys

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.
