Mileage: 750
Model: F-100
Trim: STEP SIDE
Up for auction is a very cool 1963 Ford F100. I own a Custom Car/ Restoration shop in Texas, and this is my personal truck. The truck was built from the ground up, starting with a fully modified and air bagged chassis. Mustang II front end with tubular upper/lower control arms, air bags, Unisteer manual rack, boxed and raised front frame rails. Rear suspension is 2x4 rectangular from the cab back, with a traditional 4 link setup with bags and a panhard bar. Ford 9" rear end with 3.90 gears. Chassis is completely painted ceramic chassis black. The truck drives straight and rides nice at 4" of ride height down the highway at 80mph.
Engine is dressed to look like a Hi-Po 289 from a 1966 GT350 Mustang. Its a .030 over 302. Edelbrock aluminum heads, Crane cam, lifters, and roller chain. Performer RPM intake, Holley 4150 HP carb, Pertronix distributor and MSD coil. Tri-Y headers with Flowmaster Mufflers. Transmission is a Tremec TKO 5 speed. Clutch is a RAM diaphragm style.
The body of the truck is lazer straight. Bed has been raised 1" from stock, rear fenders were raised 2" from stock, fuel filler shaved, antenna hole removed, tailgate modified to read "FURD", cause I'm a redneck. The exterior is sprayed with Eastwood Rat Rod black. Interior and underhood are PPG base/ clear in Corvette Victory red. The truck is straight enough to be gloss black, but I like the satin look. The doors are hand lettered with One Shot. Most of the black underhood parts are powdercoated. Wheels are powdercoated. Tires are Coker bias ply's front and rear.
The truck was completely rewired front to back, ATO style fuse block with 20 circuits. The air ride system consists of 2 Viar compressors and 2 air tanks. The valves are SMC's. The entire system runs 3/8" lines.
This is a very dependable truck. We just recently ran half of the Hot Rod Power Tour with no problems. Runs good, drives good, doesn't overheat. No junk here, not a "Rat Rod" but a properly built traditional hot rod. I have tons of time and money invested into this truck, it's listed with a reasonable reserve. The truck would cost 3 times the amount to build.
Please contact me with any questions or for more pictures. Thanks for looking.

2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang debuts at Lagun Seca
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Saleen used the occasion of the race-fueled Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to announce its new Heritage Collection Lineup. The event was punctuated with the debut of the collection's first member, the 2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang.
Follmer's name will likely sound familiar to fans of American racing in the 1960s and '70s. The driver competed in Formula One with the Shadow team in 1973, ran the Indianapolis 500, was the Can-Am champion in 1972 and drove stock cars in NASCAR's Winston Cup as well. The multi-disciplined driver is now one of three -the other two being Mark Donohue and Swede Savage - with the honor of upcoming, limited edition Saleen-tuned vehicles..

2014 Ford Mustang GT
Fri, 17 May 2013I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.
