General Description

This is a 1952 Ford F100 field find, turned into a completely updated head-turning reliable cruiser. It's unique patina with custom pin striping sets this truck apart from others. So many new parts! This truck is TURN KEY, ready to cruise today. You may have even seen this one on the cover of Summit's Hot Rod Hardware catalog last year.

Clean and clear title in my name.

RUST

This truck has just the right amount of that patina we all love, without the rot. The body is overall very solid, and needs no sheet metal work.

FRAME/DRIVETRAIN

This truck sits on the sought after mid 80's s10 frame, and has an awesome slammed stance. It's powered by a completely overhauled Chevy 350, with new speed pro pistons and a mild comp cams street cam. The engine looks, sounds, and runs excellent. It has that awesome old school chop at idle, through a full custom true dual exhaust with Dynomax super turbo mufflers. The engine is dressed up with billet accessories, new valve covers, new "nitro plated" headers, new Edelbrock 1406 electric choke carb, and a HUGE K&N air cleaner (the cherry on top!) It's fed from a new 15 gallon RCI fuel cell by a brand new Holley electric fuel pump and pressure regulator. All new fuel lines have been installed, and a custom "flip top" fuel cap has been placed in the wood bed for easy fill ups. The tank has a brand new level sending unit for accurate fuel readings.

The rear end is from a 2001 Chevy Blazer with disc brakes, and has a 3:42 Eaton Posi.

TRANSMISSION

Freshly rebuilt stage 2 700R4 from Maddog Transmissions in Cummings, Georgia....at $1000, this transmission shifts super crisp every time. The tranny is supported by a G-Force cross member, which allows for the placement of the dual exhaust. It runs extra cool with the new BTE extra deep aluminum trans pan. Fluid change is a breeze with the installed drain plug. It connects to the rear end with a brand new light weight PST driveshaft.

STEERING/SUSPENSION/BRAKES/TIRES

Everything here has been replaced. The new steering shaft, steering linkage, upper and lower ball joints, front sway bar with polyurethane bushings, and polyurethane upper and lower control arm bushings all contribute to the solid and predictable steering of this truck. It's tight, and right! The front end also features new Crown drop springs with new Bilstein shocks. The rear has de-arched leaf springs with Belltech lowering shocks.

This truck has 4 wheel disc power brakes with 4 new calipers and new brake pads all around. All 5 brake lines have been updated to Russell stainless braided lines for a solid pedal feel. I have installed a new brake booster, master cylinder, proportioning valve combo to complete brake system overhaul. All lines have been flushed with DOT 4 synthetic fluid.

New 15" smoothie wheels with center caps, and Coker wide white walls have been installed.

COOLING SYSTEM

Brand new show quality 2 row aluminum radiator, with integrated trans cooler. Trans cooler lines were upgraded to stainless braided lines with AN fittings. I also have 2 10" electric fans on an automatic thermostat switch, and a 15" mechanical fan. This truck stays cool!

WIRE HARNESS & ELECTRICAL

Wiring is all new, headlights and tail lights work as expected, including high beams. This truck has no turn signals, but could easily be wired up for this. All brand new Autometer Phantom gauges have been installed to display fuel, oil pressure, coolant temp, and battery voltage.

INTERIOR

I decided to keep the original patina in the interior, and it is dressed up with custom pin striping, custom art work on the glove box door, and a beer tap shifter. The comfortable bench seat is covered in a Mexican blanket to give it a unique look.

GLASS

The front and rear windshields are brand new with new seals. Both doors still retain the original glass, and the triangle windows actually open and close. The drivers window regulator needs to be replaced, and the glass is currently not installed....but will come with the truck

HOW DOES IT RIDE?

Brakes have excellent response, engine and transmission are strong and can easily cruise 80 down the road with no problem. This truck rides very smooth, and is easy to take anywhere

PLEASE NOTE: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO SHIP UNTIL OCTOBER 12TH. IT IS BEING USED IN A PRIVATE PHOTO SHOOT THE DAY BEFORE.

I have a lot of time invested in this one-of-a-kind shop truck. It's a real head turner, and so much fun to drive.

Please contact me with any further questions. Serious bidders only please.

I reserve the right to end this auction at any time, as it is for sale locally.

Buyer assumes all shipping arrangements and cost, but I will be happy to assist with loading.

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.

Watch NASCAR racer Brad Keselowski do a burnout... in a hotel conference room

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

A vast majority of hotels frown upon smoking inside the building these days, but Brad Keselowski doesn't follow the rules. During his introduction at the 2013 MiilerCoors Distribution Convention, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion smoked the tires of his Miller-sponsored Ford Fusion stock car, adding a pair of thick, black stripes to the carpeting of the Marriott World Center's conference room.
This definitely isn't a high-quality video, but it's the perfect vantage point to watch Keselowski lay down some rubber and receive a well-deserved standing ovation after pulling up in front of the crowd. Check out the short-but-sweet video posted below.

Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.
