 This is a running and driving, 1947 Ford Pickup . This One of a kind truck was designed originally for a member of 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. I also have the original cab visor, it's in last picture. Just drove her around lake then took pics, so that's what she looks like after weekend of cruising and rewiring it. Could of washed her, but anyone can post a pretty pic, these are real pics for a real Ratrod cruiser.

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 speakers
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
13.) Original G Series Flathead


   The bed wood cross member supports are rebuilt along with the bed with 2" tubing, and 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! There are no dents and dings in this truck, in my opinion the most solid 1947 I've seen in years. Oh and yes and a complete underdash  A/C can be purchased on Ebay for 500.00. Although I've had no problems with the window down and arm out.

Tue, 11 Nov 2014



"It's about some of the biggest crises in history. It's about who did it right and who did it wrong." - Jason Vines

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.

2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.
