For sale this week I have a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck. I consider this an original survivor because it has never been painted, and is running and driving well with it's original 272 Y-block engine and 3-speed manual transmission. The truck had been parked for 6 years when I acquired it. With a new Holley carb, and full tuneup, it cranked and ran beautifully. The brakes were a bit weak so I rebuilt the entire brake system to include new master cylinder, metal brake lines, all rubber hoses, new wheel cylinders and new brake shoes. The clutch is excellent and does not shake when released. This truck can be parked months at a time and it instantly cranks. I also installed a new battery several months ago. It is a 12 volt charging system that is charging while running. The tires on the truck are in good condition and are road worthy. The mileage was told to me to be correct, at only 47000, but I have no documentation to that effect. I do believe the mileage to be correct because there is very little wear on the original pedals, seat springs are still firm, steering is nice and tight, transmissions shifts smoothly with no slop in the shifter. Since no repairs have ever been made to the body, there are no surprises hidden under body and paintwork. The bed retains the original wood (some of it). So many of these trucks end up with some sort of metal flooring welded in over top of the wood, but not this one. This truck needs a complete restoration, but is a great start that can be driven and enjoyed now and while the restoration is performed. This has always been a North Carolina truck. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time in the event of a local sale. Buyer is responsible for moving the truck to it's new home. Thanks for looking. Truck is sold as is.

Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR and CR Supercars Villain are retro done right

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Gymkhana king Ken Block has had a pretty simple car history in his trademark videos, starting out with Subaru Impreza rally cars before moving into Ford Focus racers for the past four installments. His next video, though, Gymkhana Seven, kind of goes back in time.
Rather than the cutting-edge rally racers of past videos, Block will pilot a heavily modified 1965 Ford Mustang, called the Hoonicorn. How heavily modified is it? Well, Block's Hooligan Racing Division, ASD Motorsports and Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR, spent two years working on it, ditching the standard engine and rear-wheel-drive layout and replacing it with a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8. Yes, that's a NASCAR engine, and it produces 845 horsepower.
A NASCAR-powered Mustang would be news in itself, but it's the other powertrain changes made by Block and Co. that really makes headlines. Power is channeled through a one-off Sadev transmission and all-wheel-drive system, meaning that Block has basically married a NASCAR stock car with a WRC racer. ASD also developed the customized suspension, tubular chassis and roll cage. The wide Mustang body is the work of RTR and Block's own Hoonigan Racing Division, while the 18-inch fifteen52 wheels are shod in Pirelli Trofeo R tires that use a specialized compound exclusive to Block.

Project Ugly Horse: Part V

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
