Up for auction is a very cool 1963 Ford F100. I own a Custom Car/ Restoration shop in Texas, and this is my personal truck. The truck was built from the ground up, starting with a fully modified and air bagged chassis. Mustang II front end with tubular upper/lower control arms, air bags, Unisteer manual rack, boxed and raised front frame rails. Rear suspension is 2x4 rectangular from the cab back, with a traditional 4 link setup with bags and a panhard bar. Ford 9" rear end with 3.90 gears. Chassis is completely painted ceramic chassis black. The truck drives straight and rides nice at 4" of ride height down the highway at 80mph.
Engine is dressed to look like a Hi-Po 289 from a 1966 GT350 Mustang. Its a .030 over 302. Edelbrock aluminum heads, Crane cam, lifters, and roller chain. Performer RPM intake, Holley 4150 HP carb, Pertronix distributor and MSD coil. Tri-Y headers with Flowmaster Mufflers. Transmission is a Tremec TKO 5 speed. Clutch is a RAM diaphragm style.
The body of the truck is lazer straight. Bed has been raised 1" from stock, rear fenders were raised 2" from stock, fuel filler shaved, antenna hole removed, tailgate modified to read "FURD", cause I'm a redneck. The exterior is sprayed with Eastwood Rat Rod black. Interior and underhood are PPG base/ clear in Corvette Victory red. The truck is straight enough to be gloss black, but I like the satin look. The doors are hand lettered with One Shot. Most of the black underhood parts are powdercoated. Wheels are powdercoated. Tires are Coker bias ply's front and rear.
The truck was completely rewired front to back, ATO style fuse block with 20 circuits. The air ride system consists of 2 Viar compressors and 2 air tanks. The valves are SMC's. The entire system runs 3/8" lines.
This is a very dependable truck. We just recently ran half of the Hot Rod Power Tour with no problems. Runs good, drives good, doesn't overheat. No junk here, not a "Rat Rod" but a properly built traditional hot rod. I have tons of time and money invested into this truck, it's listed with a reasonable reserve. The truck would cost 3 times the amount to build.
Please contact me with any questions or for more pictures. Thanks for looking.

Ken Block ain't got a care about ruining his wheels
Tue, 22 Jan 2013During a drifting session at Irwindale Speedway in California, Ken Block made a boo-boo that would send a number of drivers immediately back to the infield. But there's an answer to "What do you do when you bash the wall while drifting and your wheel explodes?" and there's completely different answer when the question begins with the phrase, "When you're Ken Block..."
Instead of us telling you how Block handled the calamity in his Ford Fiesta competition car, you can watch it happen in the video below. You can probably also guess what it is - but it's more fun to watch.
This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars
Tue, 25 Feb 2014The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.
Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).
