1953 Ford F-100 pickup truck

This truck is all steel.  The top has been chopped 3 inches.  It has a Chevy small block 350 blower motor with a B&M supercharger.  The drive train is from a 70’s era Chevy Nova or Camaro.  The transmission is a 700R4 and a 10 bolt rear end.  The tires are new.  Has power windows and door poppers.  This is a really good driving truck.  The engine and transmission are trouble free to the best of my knowledge. 

I acquired this truck last year and know very little about it.  We have worked on it tweaking some of the problems we observed such as tires, battery, replacement door poppers, rebuilt the alternator.

The truck is painted PEPTO BISMOL PINK inside and out.  This truck was built locally around 15 to 20 years ago.  I believe the gentleman who built it also built a 53 Ford panel truck and painted it the same.  He has since passed away.

I have decided to sell off a lot of “gear head stuff” as I am getting too old and tired to fool with all this anymore and I just don’t seem to have enough time.  I also have a 36 Chevy Sedan Delivery, a couple of Yamaha Wave Runners and a 78 Malibu with a big block I am planning on selling soon.

That is all I really know about the truck.  It is a nice truck and it would cost a fortune to build it the way it is built.  People either love or hate the color.  It has ghost flames on the sides of the front fenders that you may not see in the photos.

I have never sold anything on Ebay before although I have been a buyer for 10+ years.

If you buy this truck it is what is, as is, where is.  I have a perfect rating score on Ebay and want to keep it that way.  If you buy it I require NON-REFUNDABLE  $500.00 deposit via Paypal within 72 hours of the auction ending and arrangements to pick up the truck within 10 days of receipt of the deposit.  The remainder is to be paid in cash.  I understand there are a lot of shady deals with payments and I do not want to be taken advantage of.

The information provided is not warranted.  Some information is assumed as passed along from hear say and some I have deducted from my observations.  I am trying to be as honest as possible regarding what I am describing the truck as being and as to how it is equipped.

If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them as time permits.

It is possible I may withdraw this truck from the auction if I get a response from word of mouth regarding its being for sale.  A lot of people I know and that have heard about it would love to have it but do not have the funds or can not justify purchasing it.

The $500.00 deposit is not refundable.

Thanks for your time!

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.

Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).

2016 Ford Focus RS mule spotted on US soil

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

Okay Ford, this is what we like to see. One of our intrepid spy photographers has captured a vehicle that we weren't even sure would see the light of day - the next Focus RS. While this is pretty clearly a mule based on the current Focus ST, as our spy points out, there are a number of giveaways about this hot hatch's true nature.
Indication number one that all is not right with this Focus is the heavily camo'd front fascia, which has been completely reconfigured for duty on the RS. It boasts significantly larger grilles that are meant to accommodate what is likely the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder that's destined for the 2015 Ford Mustang. Considering that, then, we can expect around 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque from the hottest of Foci, although it's entirely possible that the production model could climb even higher, to around 330 hp.
The front fascia tweaks are complemented in the back by a modified rear bumper, which fails at hiding a pair of exhaust tips quite unlike the standard Focus ST's center-exit exhaust. Other obvious changes include the wheel/tire/brake package on this particular car. Larger 19-inch wheels are shod in super-sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in 235/35/19 while the brakes feature what we think are four-piston calipers, possibly from Brembo, up front.
