Sacramento, California, United States

You are looking at a real California Custom Cruiser Pickup! This 1952 Ford F1 has the right "Kustom Kulture Look” The body is straight and solid shot in Red with a light pearl effect. This truck starts, drives and stops very well, and gets a lot of attention every where it goes. The body is not perfect but is good for a driver. The suspension feels like a stock truck and goes down the road straight. It has a low mileage Buick V8 Crate Engine with a side draft 2 barrel Holley carburetor, great on gas. The 350 Automatic Transmission shifts well. New aluminum Radiator and 12V wiring functions well.
Purrs like a kitten, runs like a cheetah, and stays cool like Fonzi.   

 The top was chopped 2 inches with leaning the back window forward slightly to make up for the shorting of the roof. There is no overlaid metal and everything is completely welded. This Custom is a lowered ride with the 9” axle swapped to top of spring in the back, and a dropped tube axle swapped to top of spring in the front. Big and little BF Goodrich Long travel Wide White Wall Tires on 16” Black Steelies with original trim rings and smooth rippled Ford hubcaps. The door glass is not installed but the passenger side is cut. All the other glass is there, wing windows back and front. One wing has a small crack and the rest of the glass is chip and crack free. New dual exhaust all the way back.

This "One of a Kind" Pickup Truck has many new and upgraded parts, well over 15K invested! 

 The interior is very comfortable, new black naugahyde wraps the plush seat, the rest is pretty bare bones, stock dash and metal with a rubber floor mat.

The body and running boards have no visible rust. It has new wood and tunnel over notch in the bed.

 Many Kustom pieces and touches including extra teeth added to the grille, 1950 Packard taillights, shaved bumpers and badges. This is a California truck and has always been to the best of my knowledge, a daily driver with clear California title. Visible Vin and Black and Yellow Folsom Prison plates. Drive as is or restore it, must see to appreciate!!! CALL (916)308 zero eight seven 4 or message me for details

2013 Ford Explorer Sport

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.

Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene

Tue, 13 May 2014

Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
