You WILL NOT be disappointed in this BEAUTIFUL 1953 EFFIE. She is as pretty and laser-straight one-foot away as she looks in these pictures. I loved this truck as soon as I saw and drove it. If this '53 sounds like a truck you might be interested in, please read on.

This beautiful '53 F100 shows 612 miles since a complete frame-off restoration. Every single part in this truck was new, rebuilt, or completely stripped and refinished 612 miles ago. Unfortunately, the gentleman down in Tennessee that built this truck passed away before he completely finished it. I bought the truck from his son, in California, and finished the necessary items.

The body was stripped, restored, and painted in a three-stage Ford Mustang (1998-2002) Laser Red Metallic, code E-9. It is laser-straight, with no dings, dents, ripples or waves whatsoever. The underside is black. The chassis was completely stripped and painted black. All chrome and/or polished stainless trim pieces are in great condition.

The soft leather interior is finished in a beautiful warm tan, with gray carpeting. The interior features AutoMeter Street Rod Series gauge system which includes a tachometer and clock. Air temperature is provided via a new Vintage Air AC/heat system. There is no stereo or music system. I like the listening to the soft roar of the engine & exhaust.

The engine is a rebuilt (1979) Ford 351" Windsor V-8.The motor is stock except for an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, Edelbrock 1406 4-barrel carburetor, a Mallory breakerless distributor, chrome Ford Motorsports valve covers, and a chrome alternator. The engine is cooled by a new aluminum radiator and electric fan with adjustable fan temperature control. It also has a polished aluminum overflow tank.

The 2 1/2" aluminized exhaust system starts with ceramic coated headers, runs through 21" Flowmaster mufflers to tailpipes neatly tuck up under the rear fenders.

The power is hooked up via a smooth-shifting C-6 transmission, a Lokar shifter and 9" Ford rearend. The rearend rides on new Posies lowering springs, new shocks, and new Mid-Fifties rear spring hangers.

Up front, a Heidt's Mustang II suspension package, with tubular A-Arms, power Rack & Pinion steering, and power disc brakes was professionally installed. Stopping power is provided by a No Limit power brake system (discs in front and drums in the rear)system. A chrome Ididit tilt steering column topped off by a Lecarra steering wheel control steering function.

Polished 15" American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels (15" X 6" Fronts, and 15" X 7" rears) are wrapped in Hankook Mileage Plus tires, P215/70R15 Fronts, and P235/70R15 Rears.

What does it need? (1) I would replace the carpet in the cab. (2) I haven't driven the truck with the AC on in several months. When I drove it this AM, I noticed that the AC wasn't cold. Upon inspection, I found an oily liquid below the AC hoses, which wasn't engine oil, P/S fluid, or coolant. Since the system is as-new, I'm thinking that one of the AC hoses is leaking bit. That's It! It drives and handles wonderfully.

This fabulous '53 F100 is sold As-Is, Where-Is, with No warranty, expressed or implied. The buyer will be responsible for transporting the vehicle after sale is completed. Of course, I will assist in loading the vehicle for transport, if help is requested. This truck is for sale locally, and reasonable offers will be considered, so I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: If you're not absolutely serious about purchasing a vehicle of this caliber, PLEASE DO NOT PLACE A BID. If you do not have the funds in readily available to follow through with this purchase, PLEASE DO NOT hit the "Bid Now" button. I invite any potential bidder to come take a good look at this car and take a test drive before placing a bid.

I will not accept any personal checks, cashier's checks, or money orders. A deposit of $500.00, via PayPal or cash will be due within 48 hours of purchase or close of auction. The full purchase price will be due within seven (7) days of purchase or close of auction. A Bank Wire deposit of funds is the preferred method of payment. If you bring that much cash, we will go to a local bank to very it's authenticity. Most of the large banks (B of A, BMO Harris, Chase, U.S. Bank, Washington Federal, and Wells Fargo) have local branches, as well as a number of other smaller and State Banks. If you bank at one of the banks represented locally, we can both go to that bank and arrange a Bank Wire deposit. If you happen to bank at Wells Fargo, we can go to a Wells Branch very close to our home, and the funds can be immediately withdrawn from your account, and deposited in our account. Again, Thank You. Unfortunately we don't know who we can trust anymore, and simply cannot be too cautious.

Ford celebrates 1 millionth Mustang built at Flat Rock

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

Yesterday, the Ford Mustang turned 49 years old, and Ford didn't miss the opportunity to celebrate the one millionth version of the Mustang rolling off the assembly line at the Flat Rock Assembly plant. Production of the Mustang at Flat Rock coincided with the fifth-generation design launching in 2004, and the one millionth car was the car shown above, a 2014 GT convertible painted in Ruby Red.
In total, Ford has sold more than 8.5 million Mustangs since the original car went on sale, but some of the key milestones over the car's nine years at Flat Rock include the Shelby GT-H, Bullitt, Boss 302 and, of course, the 662-horsepower Shelby GT500. Scroll down for a press release celebrating Flat Rock's milestone Mustang.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.

2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Ford is toiling away, installing heavy-duty engine components into select 3.7-liter V6s to allow them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to gasoline. That's nothing new, but now, Ford has announced that it will offer the 2014 F-150 with this engine configuration, bringing the Blue Oval's total number of CNG/LPG-friendly vehicles up to eight. The F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup on the market that can run on these gases.
Ford will charge $315 per vehicle to equip the optional engine, but the trucks won't be ready to run on the alternative fuels straight from the factory and must be upfitted with additional equipment. A Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier will install a separate fuel system for the compressed gases at a cost of $7,500 to $9,500, depending on fuel tank size. With the right-size tank, the F-150 equipped with the CNG/LPG-prepped engine can go 750 miles on one tank of gas, according to Ford, averaging 23 miles per gallon.
The practice of offering flex-fuel vehicles is gaining momentum as businesses take advantage of cheap gas. CNG can be bought for $2.11/gallon on average (per gasoline equivalent), and sometimes for as little as $1.00 in some parts of the US, Ford states. "With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months," says Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager. The automaker expects to sell a total of 15,000 CNG/LPG-prepped vehicles in the 2014 model year.
