Great Running V8 1954 Ford F100, Very Cool Barn Fresh Look! on 2040-cars
|
In this auction offered to you by Rusty Nuts Originals in Greenville, SC is a very nice, very original, very solid 54 F100. The story behind the truck goes...it was a high school shop class project nearly 30 years ago, owner passed away, and had been sitting in the garage for the last 28 years. Having been garage kept for the last 28 years, its in incredible shape. The entire cab and front half of the truck are rust free with one or two small dings. Original cab corners, floor boards, etc.The bed is not original to the truck and is not in the condition of the front half of the truck but is still in good shape. We bought the truck with two beds, a 54 bed and a 48 bed. The bed is a combination of the best of both, 48 bed sides, 54 fenders and tail gate. The bed has some surface pitting but no severe rust. With all that being said, this is an awesome shop or advertising truck or a very good start for a restoration. The truck runs and drives like a top, shifts well, and everything in and on the truck works like a new one, with the exception of the lazy vacuum operated wipers. Its got a set of brand new white stripe tires, new king pins and the rear signal/brake lights are new from LMC. The odometer reads 24,xxx but in South Carolina antique vehicles mileage are exempted on the titles, so we have to assume thats 124k miles. The truck doors are hand painted with a vintage A&W Rootbeer sign and the dash is pinstriped, but we are a full service shop and can accomodate and custom pinstriping or your shops logo, and we also grind whitewalls so these white stripes can be wide whites with a phone call, contact below for details. It is offered with a clear SC title and as with all of our auctions, this vehicle carries no warranty and is represented truthfully to the best of our knowledge. Shipping will be entirely the winning bidders responsibility and a deposit of $1000.00 is due within 24 hours of the close of the auction. This truck is also for sale locally so we reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Should you have any questions about the truck, please ask them prior to bidding via Ebay, direct email at Andy@rustynutsoriginals.com or call the shop at 864-386-6887 and don't forget to check us out on Facebook or just Google Rusty Nuts Originals to visit our website.

Ford, Renault, VW shareholder oppose French aid for PSA/Peugeot-Citro"en
Mon, 29 Oct 2012Pots and kettles, glass houses and stones - that's a little of what we appear to have going on in the European car market. New reports say that that three European automakers have registered their opposition to a loan deal that PSA/Peugeot-Citroën is working on with the French government. Peugeot's finance arm, Banque PSA Finance, is struggling with its debts and has been downgraded by Moody's to its lowest investment-grade classification, one step above junk. This makes it more expensive for a potential buyer to finance a car through Peugeot. The last thing Peugeot needs is more difficulty selling cars in the tough European market, and the situation will only worsen if the bank's credit worthiness takes another hit.
A deal being worked on would have the French government offer €7 billion ($9B U.S.) in bonds to guarantee the bank's loans, which would give the institution some breathing room to manage its debts and lower its interest rates. Outside of that, a group of banks would provide other, non-guaranteed loans to the bank to further help its position. In exchange for state help, though, the government wants seats on Peugeot's board for worker representatives and a government liaison, along with factory and worker guarantees. The Peugeot family would maintain control of the company.
So what we have is government assistance being provided to a car company's finance arm, akin to the way General Motors' GMAC (now Ally Financial) and Chrysler Financial got help in their time of need. What we also have is Ford and Renault, and Germany's State of Lower Saxony, the second-largest shareholder in Volkswagen, voicing their concern about the proposal, because they say it could create an unfair competitive advantage for Peugeot. Everyone in Europe's down market is fighting for every sale, and if Peugeot gets help to keep its auto loan costs down, it figures to help buyers choose Peugeot or Citroën.
Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China
Sat, 19 Apr 2014According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.
Translogic 180: Zombie 222 Electric '68 Mustang
Wed, Jul 15 2015Translogic heads to Austin, TX for a chance to drive the all-electric Zombie 222, a 1968 Ford Mustang converted by Mitch Medford and his team at Blood Shed Motors. "I wanted to start a company that would do nothing but specialize in converting vintage iconic cars into supercars," said Medford. The Zombie 222 has classic looks, but modern performance with over 800 horsepower and 1,800 ft-lbs of torque, making it the fastest electric car we've ever driven on Translogic. Those mind-blowing specs helped the Zombie 222 conquer the Texas Mile, setting the electric speed record at 174.2 miles per hour. "The Zombie 222 has been breaking electric records, said Medford. "Now it's time to break records—gas or electric." Next up for Medford and his Zombie 222 is a Kickstarter-funded attempt at 200 miles per hour. But first, we take a turn behind the wheel.
