This truck was restored by the restoration shop that produced two Fine Point vehicles that won The Henry twice in MARC and First Place in MAFCA National events. It was restored in the same shop, using the same equipment, methods, jigs and fixtures that were used to produce those two award winning vehicles. It has a professional paint job of very high quality. It has aver 95% original hardware, original sheet metal, hood and fenders, etc. The rear fenders and custom stake bed were made from drawings accumulated from the Benson Ford Research Center in Greenfield Village in Detroit, Michigan. We have an addition Model A Tudor that we use for driving on tours, and this has just been in a temperature controlled garage for most of it's existance. It is a GORGEOUS truck in EXCELLANT condition. It has never been more than 8 miles from home. It has less than 300 miles in three years. The motor has been completely rebuilt with a mild high compression head, and the transmission and shift tower have been professionally restored. It has completely new brakes and the rear end has been completely gone thru and completely restored. The gearshift and emergency brake have been properly butler nickel plated. The truck is equipped with two tail lights and turn signals that sound when flashing, and it has a third brake light mounted at the front of the bed. The tail gate an all the stake sides are removable. I built it for my wife to carry hay and items around the farm, but she is fearfull of scratching the 'new' truck. I have been involved more and more with metal shaping and am currently building an aluminum bodied Model A speedster and that is requiring additional types of equipment, and that is the reason for the sale. I am also looking for motor components for a 1928 20 HP Rolls Royce boat tail speedster engine. Any leads would be appreciated. A NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of $500 is due within 24 hours of the auction closing, and the balance in 7-days in either cash or preferably a bank wire transfer. NO THIRD PARTY BS or equivalant. I am not interested in shipping, and this vehicle needs to be picked up within 10 days from the conclusion of the auction/sale. I HAVE THIS VEHICLE LISTED LOCALLY, AND CLAIM THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY!

Shelby to auction 2012 GT350 No. 1 in Vegas

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

With Shelby preparing to wind down production of its brutal GT350, a 624-horsepower Mustang that's meant to go up against the Roush Stage 3 in the world of tuned Ford ponycars, the Las Vegas-based tuner is looking to give back to one lucky customer. It'll auction off the very first GT350 ever produced, at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, a three-day event that runs from September 26 through September 28.
The GT350 is a monster, with a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 that's been tuned well past 600 horsepower in a time when Ford's own Shelby-branded GT500 barely reached 550 horsepower. The GT350 is much louder than Ford's effort, too, both visually and audibly. The wide body look isn't what we'd call conventional, but on a car that sounds and goes like this, something extreme is needed. According to Shelby American's vice president of production, Gary Davis, "Carroll was very excited about the new wide body option, so that was included on this car. It's the first 2012 GT350 serial number from our anniversary year. It is a very special car." Wilwood brakes, a massaged suspension, and some very fat, sticky tires add to the Shelby experience.
This particular GT350 will be lot number 750, and will cross the Barrett-Jackson stage on Sunday, September 28.

Ford cleans up painting process with cameras

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

Knowing how the bacon gets made rarely entices us and, in the same vein, the same usually goes for knowing about how new cars get painted. But in both instances, however, quality - or a lack thereof - is instantly obvious. In terms of the latter, Ford is showing off its new paint quality process with 3D Dirt Detection Technology to find imperfections in vehicle paint more easily and more quickly.
This process - being performed on the F-150 SVT Raptor above - uses 16 computer-controlled cameras to create a three-dimensional model (inset) of the vehicle to detect flaws in the paint including dirt particles, which can then be buffed out manually. Ford says this new technology cuts down on time spent looking for paint flaws and gives workers more time to correct those that are discovered.
Currently, Ford only uses its 3D Dirt Detection Technology system at three factories (the Dearborn, MI facility, along with those in Louisville, Kentucky and Valencia, Spain), but it will soon spread to five more plants in North America. Ford has released a video and press release for this innovative and unexpectedly interesting process, both of which are posted below.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.
