1951 Ford F1 Bagged Hot Rod Rat Rod Kustom !!! No Reserve !!! on 2040-cars
Wolfforth, Texas, United States
Up for sale is my 1951 ford F-1.The truck was built by me (and friends) in the last year, and built to be a daily driver, which it has been as well as car show cruiser. The f-1 does highway speeds (75mph) with the A/C on and radio blasting. The new dolphin gauges keep an eye on everything with out looking out of place, since the dolphin gauges are a factory fit, as is the stereo. The body is fairly straight, especially for the age of the truck, but not perfect (it is a driver after all, has some chips, scratches and runs). The paint comes alive in the sun as the pearl catches light in the Hot Rod Flatz blue Daytona pearl. With the large air bags in the back and drop axle in front the truck drives nice and straight, quietly on radial Coker wide white walls. This truck has driven all over Texas this season making a 1,600 mile road trip to Lone Star Round Up in Austin and another to the Rockabilly on the Route in New Mexico, where it won the club pick for the show. I have had a blast building this truck, and taking it to shows this summer but sadly I need to let this truck go. I do not have the room at our new house to store another car, and I am bringing home another Cadillac soon. Truck is listed as is with no warranty expressed or implied, that being said I have tried to list everything that was done to the truck but inevitably I know I have missed something. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. This is a truck that you can fly in and drive home, selling without a reserve so bid to win, because in 7 days this truck will have a new owner 1951 Ford F-1Body: The body is mostly stock with the exception of the hood has been shaved and nosed, and the fuel fill neck has been shaved.

Passenger side window was busted and has been replaced with a laminate piece of glass ( fits well but is not tempered glass) I was planning on ordering the glass so I did not glue in the laminate piece, which makes it tricky to roll down after it’s up. You can glue in the laminate and be fine but I prefer the tempered glass. The laminate already has a small chip and is cracking. I have run cars with windows like this for years, but didn’t want to on this truck. Window adhesive goes with the truck Window tracks not installed, but do go with the truck Inner window felts still need final fitment along with channel (assorted rubbers and new seals come with truck) Hood latch needs pull cable Drop spindle caused an alignment issue that took off a lot of the outside tread on the front driver side tire, the tie rod ends have been replaced and new tie rod end drops.

No wipers or horn installed Speedometer is off a few MPH, will need to be re-programmed. Super simple you just need a measured out mile. Hood is not in the best shape, but was the best one I could find. May want another hood down the road Buyer is responsible for all transportation, but this is a truck that you can fly in and drive home. I will assist with any vehicle transportation arrangements and will provide a parts list for the new owner ( to give part numbers for inner bearings, wheel hubs etc…) $500 deposit is required within 24 hours and balance to be paid within 7 days .

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry
Wed, Dec 1 2021The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer. The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).
There's an impending shortage of new trucks in America's heartland
Thu, May 21 2020URBANDALE, Iowa — Jerry Bill is worried the novel coronavirus could hurt business at the Des Moines auto dealership he runs, but not because of a shortage of buyers for the big Ram pickups on his lot. "Our biggest issue will be if we don't get more inventory," said Bill, general sales manager of Stew Hansen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, which sells around 2,700 new vehicles a year in Urbandale, a suburb of Iowa's capital Des Moines. After a drop in sales in April when consumers stayed home, Bill expects pickup truck sales to end May similar to where they were a year earlier. And if demand remains strong, Bill said he will run out of popular models in June. Fiat Chrysler began slowly restarting Ram truck assembly lines on Monday after a two-month shutdown. The U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter at its sharpest pace since the Great Recession of 2007-2009 because of lockdown measures aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus. Economists warn the second quarter will be much worse. Still, far from the lockdowns of states like New York, Michigan or Ohio, dealerships like Stew Hansen have provided FCA and Detroit rivals General Motors and Ford a rare bright spot: strong sales of pickup trucks in America's heartland. Overall U.S. sales of cars and light trucks crashed to the weakest pace in 50 years last month. But sales of big Detroit brand pickups, particularly in southern and western states less affected by the outbreak, significantly outperformed the market, industry executives and analysts said. Pickup trucks are one of the most profitable automotive segments in the world. They account for a huge portion of the Detroit automakers' profits and formed a huge lure for Peugeot, which expects to merge with FCA by early 2021. The pressure is now on to boost pickup truck production and send vehicles to dealers in parts of the country with dwindling supplies. That is particularly true for GM, which is running short of certain truck models after losing 40 days of production to a strike last fall. "If you don't have what someone wants, they can choose to go to another brand," said Cox Automotive analyst Michelle Krebs. 'Easiest swap ever' Detroit automakers in March rolled out large discounts — such as interest-free loans for seven years — to keep vehicles rolling off dealer lots.
