Selling my 1948 ford F-1 hotrod. The truck was originally a Texas truck that I bought and brought home in 2004. The truck was stripped down to the bare frame and the FRAME ONLY was sand blasted and painted black. part of the body has the original black enamel paint from the factory and part of it was lightly sanded and painted flat black because of pealing paint. there is no bondo or filler in the body, what you see is what you get. every panel on the truck is original to the truck with the exception of the patch I welded in the hole where the fuel tank filler hole was in the cab. The front and rear suspension was removed and replace with a Jaguar indepndant rear with a Dana 44 center section with 3.31 ring and pinion and an Auburn competition posi unit ( gears and posi both new last summer) and a Mustang II independant front. The ride is controled by PRO SHOX shocks and springs on the front and (4) QA1 coilover shocks on the rear (rear coil overs all new last fall). The engine is a high performance ford 390 FE that does need to run on race fuel, it does not care for pump gas. The engine was punched 30 over and has forged pistons, Earson cam, Holley 750 carb fed by a Mr. Gasket high volume electric fuel pump, headers custom built and ceramic coated by Sanderson, Edelbrock street master single plane aluminum intake, custom tig welded aluminum valve covers, chrome oil pan and a Davis Unified Ignition HEI conversion distributor custom programed for the engine and truck set up and it is cooled by a Griffin aluminum drag radiaor. The exhaust is 2 1/2" with Flow Master muflers and electric cutouts located next to the headers and controlled by a switch in the cab. You can keep and eye on everything with the Dolphin guage cluster. The transmition is a TCI street fighter C6 (new last summer) controled by a Lokar shifter and cooled by a B&M Super cooler. The wire harnes is all new and is fed by an Optima red top battery tucked under the modern bench seat. Fuel is stored in a beer keg that is mounted in the bed and bolted through the hardwood floor that came from a farm house that was over 100 years old. There is an antique camel back trunk mounted in the bed that makes great storage for your bags when you go away for a weekend trip. Wheels are new Wheel Vintiques steelies and the front ones have BFGoodrich Radial T/A's on the front and new ( less than 300 miles) Nitto 555R Drag Radials on the back. The interior is heated by a new Vintage Air heater/defroster. The truck rides, handles,sounds, and accelerates fantastic and will not dissapoint the buyer. I have a few things that are extra and will go with the truck including a new set of in the box fiberglass running boards, stainless steel tail lights and brackets that I ran for a short while before switching to the single malteese cross tail light, new never used interior door handles and escutions ( outer door handles are new and the originals are included), window crank handles and escutions, windshield gasket, cowel vent gasket and a set of new in the box billet aluminum roller rockers, shafts and stands for the motor. Im sure I am forgetting some parts and if I am they will be included as well. If you do not want the motor, contact me with a REASONABLE offer and if I accept it I will be happy to pull the motor out and sell you the truck without it as I have several thousand dollars invested in it. Please contact me with any and all questions or concerns you have about the truck. It is not a full restoration and it has some very minor body dammage that can be seen in the video, NO BODY WORK HAS BEEN DONE TO THIS TRUCK, I built it the way I wanted it and did not want to destroy the original state of the truck, however that being said it is rock solid and would be a great candidate for a paint job if that is what you are looking for because all the mechanical work has already been done.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AT LEAST 10 POSITIVE FEEDBACK OR IF YOU HAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK DO NOT BID!! The truck was listed a few months ago and the buyer was a scam that tried to rip me off and steal the truck. Also the truck is for sale locally and the auction can end at any time an accepted offer is made either through ebay or locally. thank you and happy bidding.

Ford starting up 2.0L EcoBoost engine production in Ohio
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of The Americas (pictured above), announced today that in late 2014, the automaker will be building the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder at its Cleveland Engine Plant, a move requiring a $200-million investment and the hiring of 450 new employees. European-built Ford products will continue to source this engine from the Valencia, Spain plant where all of these EcoBoost four-cylinder engines are currently built, and the new Cleveland engines will be used for all North American-made models.
Ford is planning to build its popular EcoBoost engines regionally to maximize production capacity and meet customer demand. Last year, Ford sold 334,364 vehicles with EcoBoost engines in the US alone, and that number is expected to swell to more than 500,000 by the end of this year, with global sales expected to total 1.6 million. By 2015, Ford says that 95 percent of its nameplates will offer an EcoBoost engine.
One such vehicle that could be adding an EcoBoost engine, according to Automotive News, is none other than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The report says that Ford could use either the 2.0-liter EcoBoost or an upcoming 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the sixth-generation pony car.
Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.
Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort
Fri, 24 May 2013Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
