****** Please know, this is a real auction. Please do not bid if you can not pay. I'm only listing this 1 time. Please read my entire description and ask all questions before bidding. If you are the high bidder and the reserve is met, you own the truck. ********



This is a custom F100 from top to bottom, front to back. It's been done for a few years. It runs and drives very well for a truck of this age. I have a stack of pictures a couple inches tall of the truck's build. It comes with a briefcase full of receipts totaling about $70,000.00 and also comes with a partial  quart of the original PPG paint the truck was painted with. 

ENGINE:  is a 1968 460 big block V-8 out of a Lincoln. It was rebuild with an edel brock cam, intake, and carburetor. It also has roller rockers. Exhaust manifolds are stock. 

Transmission:  is a Ford C6, rebuilt with a shift kit.

Frame:  is the original, but has been modified

Suspension: The front is a subbed in VOLARIE IFS torsion bar. The rear is stock leaf spring, lowered with a chrysler 8-3/4 axle. (gears are 3.50-3.73 I'm not a 100% sure which?) The truck also has power steering.

Tires and Wheels: Tires are BFG's 215/60/15 front and 295/50/15 rear. Center Line wheels, 15x8 front and 15x10 rear.

Interior: Custom head liner, door panels, and carpet. Seats are out of 2000 ford F250. DAKOTA DIGITAL dash and Remote door poppers. Power windows, Power Cowl Vent and cruise. Vintage heat and air. (the truck is set up for A/C, I believe I has almost all the parts, but are not all installed and DO come with the truck.) Windows are tinted. Custom center console. Pioneer stereo with 6 disc cd changer. Billet rear view mirror. Colorado customs billet steering wheel. 

Paint and Body Work: Paint and body work are very nice and were professionally done. Exterior paint is PPG dark amethyst base coat clear coat with hand, pin striped old school flames. The frame, axle, and suspension have all been painted with automotive paint and are a medium gray. The truck has a forward tilt hod kit with prop. rod, that makes opening and closing the hood easy compared to the stock springs and hinges.

Everyone wants to know if there is anything wrong with the truck or if there are any defects or things that need attention. So, here is everything I can think of. 1) The truck has been driven, and has had a few tiny rock chips that don't show up in pictures......most have been touched up. 2) the 1/4 windows are original glass and have bubbles between the panes, the passenger side is the worst of the two. 3) as I mentioned above, the truck has most everything for A/C, but is not hooked up. 4) the power steering has a drip when the truck is running( I think it's just a hose clamp on the return line I'm going to try and get to before the auction is over) 5) the valve covers have been painted to match the truck and some paint has flaked off the passenger side valve cover. 

I have described this truck to the best of my ability. I'm human and make mistakes, and I'm sure there are things I fore got. So please ask all questions before bidding.

You can call me on my cell phone @ (651) 775-7887 or message me threw eBay. Friday I will be unavailable by phone from 9a.m. til 5p.m. central time. I'm very busy, so if I don't answer, please leave me a message and I will call you back a.s.a.p.

THANKS!............. Matt

XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.

Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.

Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany

Sat, 29 Jun 2013

Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.
