1965 FORD F-100 Styleside Pickup:  

This is an amazingly straight and clean California truck. It has been professionally built and represents over $45,000 in parts and labor. It has been mechanically and electrically refit from bottom up, with the best parts available. I am offering it as it currently sits, so the buyer can have freedom to do the finishing touches in their fashion. I am selling due to lack of any spare time, caused by a new job.

This 1965 F100 is powered by a "no expense spared" FE 428 Cobra Jet engine, which puts out 550+ horsepower and 600ft lbs of torque. All of this power is delivered through a TCI C-6 automatic transmission and 2000 rpm TCI stall converter. Power reaches the rear wheels with a strong 9" rear end, featuring 3.89 Richmond gears and Auburn pro series limited slip Posi traction. This one of a kind engine cost over $25,000 to build, from a "new old stock" 1966 engine block! The engine dynamometer results sheet, is shown in the listing pictures.

This vehicle is mechanically in near mint condition, with only around 100 miles on the engine and components. It can run the quarter mile in mid to high 11 second passes, while also being easily drivable on the street. The project is at a good point, to finish it the way you want. The truck could be finished as a street/show vehicle, by adding turn signals and brake lights, or use it as a race vehicle with your finishing touches. The body is excellent, so a show quality paint job would be possible, with minimum work. The doors shut and close very smoothly. You really have to hear/see this truck to appreciate and understand it's potential. Make sure to read the extensive parts list bellow.

The truck is located in Lantana, 10 min south of West Palm Beach, Florida. You can arrange a visit/inspection, by messaging me.

2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.

Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]

Sat, 09 Mar 2013

Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...
