I bought my 1941 Ford Pick Up in October 2002 and have worked on her ever since. This truck was made in Canada for NZ market and was sold new in Timaru. She is registered as 1939 (don't know why). She has had a full restoration. The original chassi has been boxed to allow for more brace elements. she now has an Independent front end, alloy 70 litre tank, S-type jag rear end with a 4.6 quad cam engine, 305 horse power and weighs 1.5 tonne. She has real performance!
Motor miles unknown, however, from re-build 1800 miles are on the odometer.
Trans is auto C4 with shift kit. She also has power steering, electric window with grey tint and pioneer stereo.
The interior is not complete; bench seat is original. New owner can put their own finish on it or I can sell completed (for negotiation).
The deck is American white oak with stainless inserts. The rear guards are fibreglass and she's finished off with white wall tyres.
Please no swaps, I am only selling as need funds to build my family home. I am very proud of what I have built, everything is to the highest standard.
$90,000 with interior completed
$80,000 with interior as is.
NOTE, VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN WANAKA, NZ COVERED IN A LOCKED GARAGE

USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery
Sun, 08 Jun 2014After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.
Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile
Wed, 27 Mar 2013We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.
2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Concentrated ST Formula Proves Just As Potent
I'm not the jealous type... usually. But I will fully admit to being somewhat of a Pouty Polly when I read executive editor Chris Paukert's report after driving the then-new 2013 Ford Focus ST through the impossibly pretty southern French Alps region last June. I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but hot hatchbacks hold a special place in my heart. And while I'm always giddy to drive any sort of small, turbocharged three- or five-door at home in Detroit, my jealousy was indeed piqued after hearing Paukert tell about the challenging yet breathtaking roads he encountered while driving the flamin' yellow Focus. You know, the sort of roads that, from above, look like carelessly drizzled lines of icing on the frosted Alpen caps.
Several months later, I found myself piloting a Focus ST just west of metro Detroit, pitting it head-to-head against one of Autoblog's perennial favorite cars, the Volkswagen GTI. It was fantastic - enough so that I fully stand behind my statement that in terms of balls-out performance, the Focus ST cannot be beat as far as today's front-wheel-drive hatches are concerned.
