during the gasser wars of the 60s, KS "tiger" Pittman was one of the best known gasser pilots. in his poppy red supercharged 40 willys and later a similar 33 willys he regularly battled it out with the likes of Ohio George, Big John Mazmanian and Stone Woods and Cook. in 2011 KS Pittman passed away, but thanks to racing enthusiasts who have cloned his former race cars, his legacy lives on. thanks to a close friend of Pittman another part of his racing history can be relived with the building of this beautiful f-100 pickup. this truck is a clone of the real tow vehicle Pittman used to haul his dragcars thru out the country. the real truck logged a million loyal miles for Pittman before it was stolen, stripped and left for dead in mexico. the truck was built by a life long friend, who finished the truck several years before Pittmans death, Pittmans actual autograph is on the dashboard and the aircleaner. much of the work on this truck was performed at Tinnys Street Rodz in Sellersville pa. Tinnys shop turns out some unbelievable workmanship and this truck is a shining example. great effort was made to track down and use correct period parts while updating certain pieces to make the truck more currently streetable. like the real truck, power comes from a 455 olds motor. the motor is rebuilt, .30 over, and balanced with a engle hydraulic cam and lifters. the motor has an aluminum waterpump and an edelbrock intake and carb, and polished edelbrock valvecovers. the truck also has a NOS 4 core radiator and a full dual exhaust system with turbo mufflers. a vintage heat/air system was installed but blows thru a period correct nostalgic under dash unit, which blows nice and cold. the entire engine compartment is detailed perfectly. for better highway driving the trans is a GM 700R4 fully rebuilt but shifted by a very early period correct BM shifter. the rear is a late model Camaro 10 bolt rear with 3:55 gears. airbags are installed to level the rear suspension. a custom made class 3 hitch is mounted out back with an in-cab brake controller. up front the truck runs the original I-beam axle. steering is manual with a GM box, factory F-100 column and like the real truck topped with a very rare 54 ford crestliner steering wheel. upfront are disc brakes with the factory drum setup on the rear. the truck has been built with 2 fuel tanks to allow for longer road trips. wheels are new Cragar SS with rare anniversery caps mounted on radial tires. the body and paintwork is dropdead gorgeous. like the real truck the color is 64 mustang poppy red base coat/clear coat. the rear fenders, bed sides and the tailgate were all NOS ford pieces. all glass is new with a mild green tint which helps the cab cool on hot days. the bed is finished in white oak with stainless steel strips and a tarp. all the chrome including the grille, bumpers and window garnish frames are brand new. the entire truck has been rewired and everything works correctly. the seat was rolled and pleated, a new headliner, new rug and new door panels were installed. the tach and gauges are also vintage period pieces. an am/fm CD player is mounted behind the glove box door. included with the truck is a miniature replica of the KS Pittman 40 willys. it is painted to match the truck and has been custom lettered by Jim "the Painter", a well known, long time pin striper who has done lettering for Grumpy Jenkins and Jungle Jim. The truck is a proven show winner, detailed top to bottom, front to rear, it needs nothing. I DO NOT OWN THIS TRUCK, IAM LISTING IT FOR A FRIEND. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TRUCK, THE PRICE, TRANSPORTATION, PAYMENT ECT. MUST BE DIRECTED TO HIM BY CALLING 610-584-0271 AND ASKING FOR HOWARD

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
