Flint, Texas, United States

This truck has 5200 miles since its rebuild with quality components. Attention to every detail is evident throughout, from the boxed frame to the finished paint. The chassis utilizes a Mustang front end, a Ford 9" rear end, power disc brakes on front and drums on rear, chrome rear shocks making the ride smooth. More than ample power is provided by a highly detailed 350ci motor, bored .30 over, with a RV cam and headers. The Matson 4 core radiator is aided by an electric cooling fan and is powder coated but retains a highly polished brass top tank. Under the reverse tilt hood is a feast of bright chrome, billet and gloss paint. The B&M floor mounted shifter connects to a 350 trans that has been rebuilt with a mild shift kit taking the horsepower to the rear. Crager wheels and BF tires all around, sit at the just right stance. The bed is finished with red oak and stainless steel strips and rear fiberglass fenders are widened 3". The interior is designed for looks and comfort, finished in a striking combination of gray with accents matching the exterior color. Comforts of a tilt steering column, Vintage Air, great sounding Alpine stereo with amp, and monitoring by original, rebuilt, gages keep the interior a pleasure. The exterior fit and finish are beyond reasonable description, from the meticulous detail to the color, it all exhibits quality. A great ride, weather on the freeway or cruising on Saturday night, this is the one for a lot of fun filled times.

This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]

Thu, 21 Aug 2014



They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort

Fri, 24 May 2013

Judging 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.

Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
