THIS TRUCK IS UNBELIEVABLE !!! The entire project took more than a year to complete and at a cost of well over $150,000 !!! A six door truck conversion cost $54k just to stretch your donor vehicle !!! The truck was purchased as a BRAND NEW crew cab Lariat XLT cab and chassis from an Authorized Ford dealership with 0 miles on the clock and then the transformation began. A Brand New entire cab assembly and bed/fender assembly was also purchased from the Ford dealership in order to convert this trucks cab into a 6 door and to modify the short dually bed. THERE WERE NO SALVAGE OR REPRO PARTS USED ANYWHERE IN THIS BUILD !!! Now let's go more in depth on what this truck offers in customized features. We felt that if the fuel tank had to be relocated, why not make it large or better yet really large for long distance traveling ? There is a 100 gallon custom fuel cell that runs the length of the drivers side (underneath) and it has a custom electric blower system to displace the fumes. The truck has a completely custom air bag system with Commercial Duty Firestone Airide air bags and an on-board Heavy Duty compressor with external valves. There is also a custom fabricated trailer hitch with a tow capacity of 20,000 lbs. Needless to say it has never even had a trailer tongue installed in it because this truck has never towed anything ! It has electric trailer brakes with an in-cab controller as well. Installed on the front and rear are Road Armor bumpers and a front tubular Road Armor grill guard. A set of tubular side nerf bars were custom fabricated to simulate the exact style and look of the Road Armor bumpers. Genuine PIAA offroad lights were installed in the front and rear bumpers. The front bumper has a Warn 12,000 lbs electric wench with the optional remote control. In the bed of the truck there is a under the bed rail black anodized Trail FX tool box and locking roll-up hard bed cover. The bed and tailgate are of course Rhino lined. The truck sports a set of custom 19.5'' polished forged aluminum Brentz wheels with a brand new full size Brentz aluminum matching spare with Goodyear tire in the bed. The wheels are wrapped in Goodyear 245/70R19.5 all terrain tires which have plenty of life left on them. Now let's discuss the interior of this vehicle .... THIS INTERIOR IS INSANE !!!! Everything , everywhere is covered in brown Alcatara suede and Italian leather !!!! The entire dashboard (top and bottom) ,kick panels, A,B,C and D pillars, headliner, sun visors, door panels etc... are all covered in yards of luxurious suede. Even the carpet and floormats were replaced with custom cut matching brown pile, which goes to show that everything about this truck was meticulously designed and well thought out. The seats are custom bolster seats with lumbar support that were refinished in Italian leather with simulated ostrich inserts. The rear seating is a custom 3 panel seat that reclines electrically and can lay perfectly flat in order to make a bed. One of the trucks electronic interior amenities is Direct TV satellite. There is a custom 40" Sharp Aquos plasma that electrically drops down from the ceiling for viewing and electrically raises back up and out of sight when you are finished viewing. The satellite dish is on top of the truck, concealed by a roof mounted steel/painted cover. There is also a dash mounted Pioneer DVD player (with back-up camera), a sun visor monitor and a separate DVD player for the rear so that the driver and front passenger can watch a separate DVD or source than the rear passengers simultaneously. The truck is protected by a Clifford remote start alarm with an LCD readout. I'm sure that after all I've written I've still forgotten to mention many key features of this one of a kind truck

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
Ford F-Series Super Duty prototype reduced to smoldering mess of aluminum and steel [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The most important bit of information you need to know after looking through our high-res gallery of images depicting a prototype 2016 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup truck burning to the ground is that nobody was hurt. There were two engineers inside the vehicle when it caught fire, and both exited to safety.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the truck, which appears to have been testing in Death Valley, appears to be a total loss, minus, of course, whatever information Ford can glean from the conflagration - particularly tracing it back to its root cause. Besides that, we're also expecting the body of the next Super Duty to be hewn from aluminum, as is the case with its smaller brother, the brand-new F-150. Note the little aluminum droppings littering the roadway as apparent proof of that.
Our spy photographers report that it took just 21 minutes for the F-Series Super Duty to burn completely to the ground. The fire appears to have started in the driver-side front wheel well, spreading to engulf the entire front end in three minutes. We can't confirm the source of the blaze, but we're curious if the car's black vinyl cladding, meant to obscure the secrets within, contributed to the fire.
Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction
Mon, 29 Jul 2013The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."
