1953 Ford F100 Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Irvine, California, United States
This vehicle is sold as-is and there is absolutely no warranty expressed or implied.
I am offering my 1953 Ford F100 Rat Rod. This vehicle is custom from the ground up but is by no means a "show truck". Frame: 1990 Chevy S-10 Cab: 1953 Ford F100 Bed: 1955 Chevrolet Interior: Custom Motor: 4.6L Chevrolet Transmission: 3 Speed Auto You may have seen this vehicle on eBay before as I purchased it about three months ago from another seller. Since then I have lightly overhauled the vehicle. New Windshield New Exterior Weather stripping New Spark plugs New Oil & Filter New Seat Belts Rebuilt and balanced driveshaft from Drivelines, Inc. Re-alligned doors/striker plates Rebuilt carburetor Modified seat (I am 6'5" and fit comfortably) Modified pedals Stripped all exterior wood, sanded, cleared, reinstalled. New Spray in bed liner Re-worked all gauges to have them working properly. I thought I was going to keep this thing forever but things change and it's time to let her go to a new home. Please note, if you want something with a perfect body that can be painted, this is not the one. This truck is the way it is and it would cost $30,000 in body work to be able to lay a nice paint job on this. If you don't like patina this truck isn't for you. The truck looks as old as it is but drives like a newer car. It does have power steering. Serious inquiries only! No tire kickers and no test drives without cash in hand. |

Watch Ken Block's scary Rally America crash from inside the cockpit
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ken Block became famous for his series of Gymkhana videos, but he's a real racer in his own right. Block has competed many rounds in the FIA World Rally Championship and also rallied in the 2013 Rally America series. He nearly won that latter title last year - if not for a massive crash in the final event of the season.
Block and his co-driver Alex Gelsomino went into the Lake Superior Performance Rally needing a win to take the championship. However, missing a clump of dirt on the side of the road and one little word in the pace notes was all it took to catapult Block's Fiesta off the road and into a tumbling accident. Block says his initial reaction was anger because the crash came out of nowhere.
For 2014, Block is joining the FIA World Rallycross Championship for at least three rounds. He'll drive a Ford Fiesta for the Hoonigan Racing Division at the Norwegian, French and Turkish events of the 12-round championship. Former Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve will also compete in the series.
Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of
Tue, 17 Dec 2013One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
