1952 Ford F-100 (f-1) Street Rod Pickup-custom-great Looks & Ride-awesome Truck on 2040-cars
El Paso, Texas, United States
|
My 1952 Ford F1 (F100) Pickup Streetrod is an awesome "Resto Rod" Combining the Incredible Nostalgic Looks of Yesterday with the while meeting today's performance standards. IT'S AMAZING. Let's get into some of the specifics. The truck is "Motorvated" by a brand new Mr. Goodwrench crate 350 Chevy with a brand new 350 automatic transmission.....beefed up of course a bit for some extra performance. The engine has a really nice high performance intake manifold added and it runs and sound fabulous. Of course, the cooling system has been updated with a high quality performance radiator to keep things cool under the hood and in the cab things are kept cool by a really nice Vintage Air/Heat combo unit and it works great, even in intense El Paso Tx. hot temperatures. Alot of thought and innovation went into the building of this beautiful 1952 Ford F1 Pickup Streetrod. Check out the shot of the grille below. Notice anything different?? Can you tell me what's different? Most people can't. Of course the chrome speaks for itself. Most of the older grilles were painted white or gray. But look a little harder..... The stock grille normally only has 3 vertical "teeth"...this one has 5. Isn't that cool? And quite expensive to come up with in the process. But this beautiful truck deserves all the love is received. Now here's another totally cool but subtle thing to consider. Look at the cab from the side...notice anything? You may not but don't feel bad. Most people don't...they just wonder why the truck looks to amazing. The cab was "chopped" 2" which means the cab is 2" shorter than a stock cab. And the great part is you get the amazing looks of this truck and still have bunches of headroom for people who may be over 6' tall. The interior is exceptionally nice and check out the awesome chrome tilt steering column. And yes, don't forget the great AC/Heat in the truck. I retained the original gauges for a retro appearance but it also has some nice modern gauges to the right of the original ones. ***Please note that the gas gauge is not reading correctly. It reads about 1/2 of what the actual fuel level is.*** Oh, and did I mention electric windows and a nice stereo? The truck was also used for State Farm Insurance promotions and advertising. Check out the interesting License Plate. It's no longer current but will go with the truck. I will also entertain trades for a really nice low mileage trike (no voyager please) or perhaps another antique/custom/streetrod auto preferably from the 1930's-1940's range. Not interested in any projects please. Might consider a trade up or down for the right vehicle. NO FOREIGN BUYERS, however I will work with buyers from Mexico and Canada. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I CAN BE REACHED AT 915-276-1505 AND PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE TRUCK IS LOCATED IN EL PASO, TX. I WILL NOT SHIP BUT WILL COOPERATE WITH THE SHIPPER OF YOUR CHOICE OR YOU CAN FLY INTO THE EL PASO AIRPORT WHERE I WILL PICK YOU UP AND YOU CAN DRIVE IT HOME. AND IT WILL BE A GREAT RIDE. 915-276-1505 |

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.

Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another.
Chuck Schwynoch had been patiently listening to my ramblings on the other end of the phone for a solid half hour. I'm not too big of a man to know when to ask for help, and at this point, I desperately needed some assistance. The truth is, working on a machine like a Fox Body Mustang is as easy as breathing thanks to the wealth of information available on the web. Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another, and odds are the sorry souls behind those builds shared the highs and lows of their torment with the internet community.
Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
