 1955 Ford F-100
The truck was restored around 10 years ago and has been used as a summer weekend driver since. The body is solid and 99% rust free with orange and metallic purple flames. The paint does have some chips and scrapes/scratches from normal driving use. I have tried to include pictures of any of the imperfections. There are a few small spots where the paint is starting to bubble/crack and show signs of age but all in all I would rate it a 7 out of 10. The interior looks good with gray bucket/bench seat and gray carpet, door panel and headliner. Aftermarket gauges in dash that work. There is a Pioneer stereo and speakers. The stereo worked last year, but currently is not powering up, I believe it is either a blown fuse or loose wire, it shouldn't take much to get working again. There is a floor mounted B&M shifter that is connected to a Th350 trans that shifts smooth and operates properly. All lights operate properly. Wipers are on the truck but do not operate, I am not sure if there is a motor for them. The truck has power steering and  under the hood is a small block Chevy 350 motor with a mild cam in it. On top of the motor is an Edelbrock intake and 600cfm carburetor with electric choke.  It has true dual exhaust out the rear with chrome tips and has a great sound to it. The bed of the truck is solid wood with chrome inserts. The tailgate is currently bolted shut with hinges on the bottom but could easily be converted to operational with a couple of latches installed on the top. The truck is sitting on American Racing wheels, tires have about 50% tread left. There is power disc brakes up front with drum brakes in the rear. All in all, the truck is a great weekend cruiser. Feel free to ask questions. I will try to answer any the best I can.  Thanks

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit can haul on the track

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Line up any two comparable vehicles, and eople are going to want to race them. Need proof? In its latest track battle, Auto Express wants to know which commercial vehicle can lap a circuit faster - a Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Let's face it, neither of these European vans were ever meant to be near the track unless they are delivering a racecar and a ton of parts for a fun weekend, but it's massively fun to watch them give it a go anyway.
The one thing that Auto Express really illustrates here is the modern marvel that is stability control. The driver hops curves, and these big vans lean in the corners like your friend walking home from a long night at the bar. However, because of the amazing stability systems, the vans mostly keep all of their wheels planted and never seem close to getting sloppy, despite their behemoth size.
Unfortunately, the two vans aren't exactly fairly paired. The Ford has a dual rear axle and a few other advantages over the Mercedes, but it's still hilarious to watch them go. Even better, the host breaks down everything happening behind the wheel like these commercial vehicles were two Porsches. Enjoy watching this very unorthodox battle between Ford and Mercedes.

Ford Explorer gets appearance pack for 2015

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Remember when Ford launched the totally new Explorer in late 2010, and people were skeptical about how the now-crossover would fare, after ditching its traditional SUV roots? Well, we're several years in, and I think we can assuredly say that Ford made the right decision. Sales are better than ever (in fact, May was the current Explorer's best month yet), and the crossover is finding its way into the hands of a whole host of new Ford buyers.
A wholly refreshed Explorer is still forthcoming, but to keep its strong-selling crossover fresh, Ford is offering a host of improvements for the 2015 model year, including the attractive appearance package available on the XLT trim level, pictured above. Outside, the pack gets you goodies like 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, black bodyside cladding and roof rack rails. Contrasting Magnetic Metallic accents are found on the grille, mirror caps and liftgate appliqué, and there's an "Explorer" hood badge and body-colored door handles. Inside, there are new Miko suede inserts in the seats, and the package includes the automaker's Sync connectivity with MyFord Touch infotainment.
Elsewhere in the Explorer range, the Class III trailer tow pack is now standard on the Sport, base models get new 18-inch aluminum wheels, and there are three new colors on offer: Bronze Fire Metallic and Magnetic Metallic.
