This pickup could be your next daily driver.

What? When I first built this pickup I drove it almost 100 miles daily. It's been from my home in Longview WA to Santa Maria CA (West Coast Kustoms Cruisin Nationals) twice which is a 2000 mile round trip. On long highway trips like that it gets 18-19 miles per gallon. The pickup has been on the road since 2006 but was recently torn down for paint and to finish upholstery.

Wheels are 15" from a 1951 Plymouth. Fronts are stock (4 1/2") and rears were widened 1/2".
Front tires (B.F. Goodrich Silvertown 6.00 X 15) are new. Rear tires are Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.00 X 15 and are in great shape.
Engine was completely rebuilt. Bored .040 over, heads ported, RV grind on cam from Hot Heads, balanced and stock compression.
Carburetors are Holley 94s from Vintage Speed.
Electronic ignition.
Aluminum radiator
T5 Camero 5 speed transmission.
Front disk brakes.
Cab was chopped 5" and A pillars were laid back to give it a Bonneville/lakester look. Rear window wasn't chopped, just repositioned, floor was made from formed and fabricated 10 gauge steel.
Exhaust is 2 1/4" out the back with glasspacks.
Steering box is original but completely rebuilt. The old worm gear became the new shifter knob.
Original bed was shortened and new stake pockets added.
Bed cover was made from on old tin canopy.
Gas tank and Optima battery are in the bed.
Hood was pie cut to narrow the front; then nosed downwards to give the front end a nice rake.
Rodall Performance air cleaners.
All red upholstery is leather. Some paint transfer from doors are on the side of the seat bottoms.
Ashtray is from a 1935 Ford (rotating ball with V8 symbol embossed on outside).
Original frame with VIN easily seen. Makes licensing a lot easier.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters

Sun, 28 Sep 2014

The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.

Ford Tourneo ready for duty in Connect, Courier and Custom flavors [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Ford was relatively quiet at the Geneva Motor Show, but it did take the opportunity to roll out its new family of Tourneo vans: the Courier, Connect, Grand Connect and Custom. As the passenger version of the Transit cargo vans, the new range of Tourneo models vary from the B-segment Courier up to the fullsize Custom. The Connect and Grand Connect are based on the redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect.
With an overall length just three inches longer than the Fiesta hatchback, the Tourneo Courier seats four to five passengers, and it offers a choice of three engines: the 1.0-liter EcoBoost or two small diesels. Like the 2014 Transit Connect was saw in Paris last year, the Tourneo Connect comes in a five-seat configuration while the Grand Connect can seat seven. Finally, the Tourneo Custom seats up to nine passengers, and it is available in two lengths up to 210 inches long putting it just six inches shorter than a standard-length E-Series van and about a foot longer than the Explorer.
