Up for sale is my 1933 Ford pickup truck. The cab, bed, and grille shell are all original 33 Ford steel pieces. They are all very solid with any/all rust removed and patched. It has less than perfect bodywork but is very presentable as a "driver quality" hotrod. It has pitting and minor dents here and there but is overall pretty good. The cab has been chopped approx. 6 inches and channeled 4 inches. The bed has had the floor raised to accommodate the rear kick up in the frame. The grille has been sectioned 2 inches at the bottom to allow for better ground clearance. It is painted with a single stage flat burgundy enamel. The belt lines and firewall are painted with single stage satin black. The suspension/frame and wheels have all been painted with single stage satin black as well. The frame is original Ford Model A from the cowl forwards. From the cowl back is 2x3 box tubing. The frame is very strong and well built. Front suspension is a SuperBell 4" dropped I-beam axle with a Posies spring. Original 40 Ford split wishbones hold it in place. Hotrod style tube shocks hung from Ford F1 style shock/headlight mounts. 40 Ford front brakes with fresh wheel cylinders, springs, shoes, etc. Cross steer set up with a vega box. So-cal steering dampener. Handles very smooth. The front wheels are original 16" Ford spoke wheels with 600-16 bias ply tires. The rear wheels are original 18" Ford spoke wheels with 600-18 bias ply tires. All tires have tubes and are balanced well. Original 32 Ford truck center caps have been painted to match the wheels. Engine is a GM performance crate 350 small block chevy. It's the "Mexican" block which supposedly has the higher nickel content in the casting. RV cam. Vintage Offenhauser 3x2 intake with 3 freshly rebuilt Holley 94 2bbl carbs. They work off an Eelco progressive linkage. They are tuned very well and fire right up. Idles very smooth. There is an Edelbrock mechanical choke cable that runs to the dash but I have literally never used it. Homemade lakes style headers with internal baffles. They have been wrapped so you won't burn your leg off if you accidentally lean up against them after it's been running. Original Delco 12v generator was recently rebuilt and charges the new sealed battery located under the bed. The engine has 2317 trouble free miles since completion. Transmission is a 350Turbo. Shifts very smooth. New Lokar buttonless shifter with an old glass door knob for the shift knob. Rearend is an early GM g-body rear axle. It's located by a pair of hairpin radius rods and a panhard bar. A Posies 40 Ford rear spring gives it a smooth ride. The rear brakes are good. It has a lower gear ratio so very smooth/low RPM on the highway. Still plenty of get-up-and-go off the line. Engine is cooled by a 65 Mustang radiator that is copper/brass construction and is new. 12 gallon poly gas tank is in the rear of the bed. The truck has been professionally wired with a Speedway 12 circuit wiring harness. all wiring is hidden or loomed with a factory style loom so you don't see any of it. All running lights, headlights, turn signals, hazards, and brights work as they should. New Equus black face gauges. Water temp, oil pressure, speedo and odometer work. There is a working cigarette lighter in the dash for a cell phone charger. Original Guide 682c headlights. 33 Ford truck tail lights. New black automotive grade carpet was installed. Seat bottoms are from a 60's VW bug. The seat back is custom made for the truck. Very comfortable to ride in. I am 6'3" tall and fit okay. Steering wheel is a 13" mooneyes 3 spoke. Lokar throttle and brake pedals. Door handles work as they should. Working cowl vent and pop-out windshield with automotive safety glass, not plexi or lexan. There is a modified hand operated windshield wiper on the drivers side if you get caught in the rain. The bed sports a real wood bed floor and oak side rails that have been stained/finished very well. All in all this is a very well built hot rod truck that is meant to be driven. It is a fresh build and has not been shown or even pinstriped so it's your chance to finish it and show it/drive it as your own. It has been adult owned and maintained so it has not been beat on or mis-used. I have a clear Ohio title for it in my name. It is located approx. 25 miles north of Cincinnati Ohio. I will ship over seas after funds have cleared the bank. A $500 deposit is due within 48 hrs of auction ending. If you have less than a 10 positive feedback score, please contact me first prior to bidding. Please email me with any questions. I reserve the right to end this auction early as it is listed for sale locally. Thanks for looking!

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.
FL man fatally shot after urging driver not to do donuts in a Mustang
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Bradley Holt (pictured), the older half-brother of University of South Florida freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers, was killed in a random act of violence last week.
The 24-year-old Holt was throwing a football around with local kids in Allapattah, a neighborhood in Miami, when a yellow Mustang showed up and started doing donuts in the street. Holt, worried about kids playing in front his apartment complex, walked over to the driver and asked him why he was "driving so crazy with so many kids out here?"
The driver left. Holt's sister said the driver came back "about 15 to 20 minutes later" and fired two shots at Holt. One of them hit Holt in the back of the head, killing him.
