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. This car is located in Prescott, Arizona, about 1/2 way between Phoenix and Flagstaff (2 hours to each by car).
 
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.

Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines

Sat, 23 Feb 2013


It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.

Ford demonstrates Mustang's new Line Lock burnout feature

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Been saving your pennies for a 2015 Ford Mustang? Put in a few extra shifts or some overtime? Got a great down payment ready? Well, however much you saved for your new pony car, start saving more - you'll need the extra money to spend on tires.
That's because the Mustang will come with a system called Line Lock, which can lock the front brakes electronically, allowing drivers to perform big, dumb, smoky burnouts without moving so much as an inch. It's sort of like launch control, only the average driver might actually use it.
Now, line locks aren't uncommon, particularly in drag racing. Usually, a flip of the switch locks the front brakes. The Mustang, besides offering the system from the factory which is unique in and of itself, looks a bit more involved.
