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!

Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]
Mon, 20 May 2013Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.
Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting
Tue, 13 May 2014It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
Hot Wheels Ford Transit Connect is worth more if we keep it in the box
Wed, 06 Nov 2013If the 2014 Transit Connect is anything like it's utile current-generation predecessor, and we suspect it is, it will undoubtedly be one of the most functional vehicles in North America. Ford has used the occasion of SEMA to turn the TC in to things that both make use of that functionality, and occasionally sort of wreck it in the name of good old-fashioned fun. The Ford Hot Wheels Transit Connect most certainly falls into that second category.
Most TC owners might cite the vehicle's massive cargo capacity as its top positive trait, though in the case of this wide-bodied Transit said space has been sapped in the name of a 55-inch television screen, a massive Hot Wheels drag strip (continuing a popular theme at SEMA this year) and custom storage for dozens of models from one's personal hot wheels collection. Designers have also plucked the grippy Recaro seats from the Focus ST, and thrown in a pair of 18-inch tablet screens for connectivity on the go.
Naturally, the Transit Connect wouldn't be an appropriate SEMA vehicle, or Hot Wheels name-bearer, if it weren't wearing an eye-popping appearance package. Additional homage to the Focus RS can be found in the blazing blue and orange front fascia and bumpers, while 20-inch wheels make sure the wider (four-inches in front and six-inches in the back) Transit Connect sits just right. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder-engine that powers the Hot Wheels TC ensures that the concept is more show than go, but you probably had that pegged from your first look, anyway.
