Selling my 1948 ford F-1 hotrod. The truck was originally a Texas truck that I bought and brought home in 2004. The truck was stripped down to the bare frame and the FRAME ONLY was sand blasted and painted black. part of the body has the original black enamel paint from the factory and part of it was lightly sanded and painted flat black because of pealing paint. there is no bondo or filler in the body, what you see is what you get. every panel on the truck is original to the truck with the exception of the patch I welded in the hole where the fuel tank filler hole was in the cab. The front and rear suspension was removed and replace with a Jaguar indepndant rear with a Dana 44 center section with 3.31 ring and pinion and an Auburn competition posi unit ( gears and posi both new last summer) and a Mustang II independant front. The ride is controled by PRO SHOX shocks and springs on the front and (4) QA1 coilover shocks on the rear (rear coil overs all new last fall). The engine is a high performance ford 390 FE that does need to run on race fuel, it does not care for pump gas. The engine was punched 30 over and has forged pistons, Earson cam, Holley 750 carb fed by a Mr. Gasket high volume electric fuel pump, headers custom built and ceramic coated by Sanderson, Edelbrock street master single plane aluminum intake, custom tig welded aluminum valve covers, chrome oil pan and a Davis Unified Ignition HEI conversion distributor custom programed for the engine and truck set up and it is cooled by a Griffin aluminum drag radiaor. The exhaust is 2 1/2" with Flow Master muflers and electric cutouts located next to the headers and controlled by a switch in the cab. You can keep and eye on everything with the Dolphin guage cluster. The transmition is a TCI street fighter C6 (new last summer) controled by a Lokar shifter and cooled by a B&M Super cooler. The wire harnes is all new and is fed by an Optima red top battery tucked under the modern bench seat. Fuel is stored in a beer keg that is mounted in the bed and bolted through the hardwood floor that came from a farm house that was over 100 years old. There is an antique camel back trunk mounted in the bed that makes great storage for your bags when you go away for a weekend trip. Wheels are new Wheel Vintiques steelies and the front ones have BFGoodrich Radial T/A's on the front and new ( less than 300 miles) Nitto 555R Drag Radials on the back. The interior is heated by a new Vintage Air heater/defroster. The truck rides, handles,sounds, and accelerates fantastic and will not dissapoint the buyer. I have a few things that are extra and will go with the truck including a new set of in the box fiberglass running boards, stainless steel tail lights and brackets that I ran for a short while before switching to the single malteese cross tail light, new never used interior door handles and escutions ( outer door handles are new and the originals are included), window crank handles and escutions, windshield gasket, cowel vent gasket and a set of new in the box billet aluminum roller rockers, shafts and stands for the motor. Im sure I am forgetting some parts and if I am they will be included as well. If you do not want the motor, contact me with a REASONABLE offer and if I accept it I will be happy to pull the motor out and sell you the truck without it as I have several thousand dollars invested in it. Please contact me with any and all questions or concerns you have about the truck. It is not a full restoration and it has some very minor body dammage that can be seen in the video, NO BODY WORK HAS BEEN DONE TO THIS TRUCK, I built it the way I wanted it and did not want to destroy the original state of the truck, however that being said it is rock solid and would be a great candidate for a paint job if that is what you are looking for because all the mechanical work has already been done.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AT LEAST 10 POSITIVE FEEDBACK OR IF YOU HAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK DO NOT BID!! The truck was listed a few months ago and the buyer was a scam that tried to rip me off and steal the truck. Also the truck is for sale locally and the auction can end at any time an accepted offer is made either through ebay or locally. thank you and happy bidding.

And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.
Ford dissects the heart of the 2015 Mustang, its engine range
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Happy Mustang Day. Are you tired of hearing about the 2015 Ford Mustang yet? No? Good, here's a bunch of mechanical data on Ford's sixth-gen muscle car, along with cutaways of the GT's 5.0-liter V8 and the new 2.3-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder shown above. We also have a smattering of info on the Stang's updated transmissions and an exploded-parts-diagram view of its all-new independent rear suspension.
Ford is set to make waves offering the Mustang with a turbo for the firs time since the small-volume SVO of the 1980s. Displacing 2.3 liters, the engine's twin-scroll turbo should help the four-cylinder turn out a projected 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, while also returning the best fuel economy in the Mustang's engine lineup. As we said in our Deep Dive, the EcoBoost will be slotted in as a premium engine, above the 3.7-liter V6 but below the 5.0-liter V8.
Speaking of that high-revving eight-cylinder, it's receiving a new cylinder head with high-flow ports. The intake and exhaust valves are larger and the cams have been replaced, among other tweaks. It should rev even higher thanks to a rebalanced crankshaft and forged connecting rods. Ford is still claiming a projected 420 hp and 390 lb-ft, although as many of the changes for the 2015's V8 come from the 2013 Boss 302, we're going to assume there's some sandbagging at work.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
