***THERE IS A SLIDESHOW WITH MORE DETAILED PICS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS AUCTION***

1955 Ford F-100 Custom Cab Pickup. This truck was built at the Memphis plant and has the rare special order Y paint code of Mountain Green. I had to research the code. Evidently it was not offered on the trucks, only the cars, and you had to special order it. It has the original 223 I-6 engine and original 3 spd on the column transmission. It also has the spare tire rack on the drivers side of the bed.

These trucks are getting harder to find. I have included pics of a restored 1955 F-100 in Mountain Green to show how beautiful this truck will be when finished.

The original engine and transmission are in the truck. However, the head has been pulled off the engine and is lost. The cylinders are partially filled with what appears to be oil to protect them but there is no telling how long they have been uncovered so I would definitely count on rebuilding the engine or replacing it with a V8.

The body is in decent shape as far as these trucks go unrestored. The front fenders have holes in the front of them which is a shame because the sides of them are pretty good. I would buy two good used ones. The hood has holes in the front and on the passenger side that could be patched or replace it with a new/used one. The cab corners will need to be replaced. The drivers side door is in good shape with just a few holes but the passenger side door is pretty much completely rusted out at the bottom. The rockers have a few small holes. The cab floor is solid everywhere except on the passenger side in the corner by the door. Most everything that needs to be fixed or replaced is available used on Ebay right now or go with new stuff from the online parts dealers.

***Both running boards are rusted out but INCLUDED in this auction are two new aftermarket running boards for this truck (shown in the pics) worth around $500 with shipping.***

The bed has an ancient diamond plate cap welded in over the old wood bed that will need to removed. If you look under the bed you can still see the slats and rails still under there. The top and sides of the bed itself are solid and pretty straight but there are holes in the floor around the welded in cap that will need to be repaired or replaced (see the pics). The tailgate is good but it will need some welding work at the attachment points to be perfect.

The rear fenders will need either patch work or need to be replaced. Good cheap used ones are all over Ebay right now.

All of the glass is either broken or blistered and needs to be replaced.

The frame is solid everywhere that I can see underneath.

The seat is in it.

The front bumper is twisted. It will need to be hammered straight and welded. The rear bumper is straight. Both need to be rechromed.

The rear wheels are/were chrome steelies. Not sure about the front.

There is no title. Alabama law does not require a title for vehicles 35+ years old. Car will come with a bill of sale.

Ford E-Series chassis cabs and cutaways to survive mass Transit onslaught

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

In March 2013, Ford announced we'd be getting chassis cab and cutaway versions of the Transit. Since incoming Transit vans will soon be rolling over the grave of the E-Series van, it was assumed that all E-Series models would go six feet under as well. According to a report from PickupTrucks.com, however, that's not the case, the report claiming that the highly modifiable E-350 and E-450 chassis cab and cutaway versions will continue being produced in Avon Lake, Ohio "at least until 2020."
Being decades old, the be-cabbed E-Series platform has found its way under an army of heavy-duty shuttle buses, work truck and ambulances. Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch verified the production horizon, telling Autoblog that the particular E-Series configuration "are a higher GVWR than the Transit chassis cab and cutaway (available this summer), which is more Class 2 and a new segment for us." So there you have it.

Watch this Ford F-150 SVT Raptor fly like an eagle [UPDATE]

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is a very capable truck right out of the box, but "capable" has never translated into "invincible." Just ask the owner of the machine in this video. In it, the driver gets frisky with an aggressive jump with plenty of speed on his hands. The result is enough air to make Vaughn Gittin Jr. blush. As always, it's not the launch that's painful, but the re-entry. Gravity eventually asserts its dominance over the $43,630 pickup in a big way, and when it comes crashing down, it does so with a vengeance.
The impact was hard enough to set off both the alarm and multiple airbags inside the cabin. It's unclear if anyone was injured in the stunt, but we certainly wouldn't be surprised to hear that was the case. You can check out the stunt in the video below, and remember, when in doubt, back out of the throttle. Be warned, there may be some explicit/NSFW language in the clip.
UPDATE: Second video added with an even better look at the jump added below.

1969 Ford GT40 Mk III found roaming the halls in Geneva

Wed, Mar 4 2015

The halls of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show are filled with all manner of exotic racing machinery, from the likes Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus to McLaren. But there's one peculiar bit of history tucked away that we thought you'd be equally interested to see: a 1969 Ford GT40 Mk III. One of only seven known to be built, this Mk III coupe was intended as a road-going alternative to earlier racing-bred GT40 models, like the original Mk I and 427-cubic-inch, Le Mans-dominating Mk II. Due to its street-legal intentions, the Ford GT40 Mk III boasted revised bodywork that allowed for some luggage and new headlights, along with a redesigned interior with left-hand-drive and a shifter in the normal, center position. The Mk III wasn't very popular when it was new in the 1960s, in part because it looked different from other GT40 models and because it was pretty expensive, but that just means it's an awfully rare gem today. Take a look at the piece of history in our high-res image gallery above.
