1946 Ford Truck, Pickup, F100, Rat Rod Project, No Reserve on 2040-cars
Georgetown, Kentucky, United States
Up for auction is my 1946 Ford "rat rod" pickup. This truck was purchased by me in June 2013 and it was my intention to upgrade the truck to my taste as I owned it. Unfortunately a few weeks after my purchase my wife and I decided to separate. Our divorce is now final so it's time to move it out of the garage and to let someone else enjoy it. When I purchased the truck it was running and driving. The motor was a mildly built 355 Chevy and the transmission was a Saginaw 4-speed mated to a Hurst ram rod shifter. Since July I have already sold the motor, transmission, shifter, radiator, and drive line. These items will not be included in this auction. What is included is as follows. A 1946 Ford pickup cab and bed. Both have a really nice patina that just gives this truck a badass look. Doors are included but the hinges have been cut off. Rust is present, as with any truck of this nature, but previous owner has made attempts to replace panels where necessary, mainly in the cab floor. Bed does not currently have a floor in it but it is mounted to the frame as is the cab. Frame is made from a 1930 model A Ford that has been z'd in the rear and has also had a new front end and brake kit from Speedway Motors installed. This kit alone retails for $950.00 and to find out more info on what is included in the kit here is a link to the item on Speedway Motors. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Ford-Wilwood-Front-Brake-and-Steering-Kits-48-Inch-Axle,36236.html Also up front is a set of fiction shocks and a vega steering box. Frame has been freshly painted and shows no sign of abuse and the Small Block Chevy motor mounts are still present. Front grille also looks good as well as the front headlamps. Rear end is a 8.5 10 bolt from a S-10 with 3.54 gears installed, rear brakes are drum. Rear wheels are 15x10 Cragar with Firestone Drag Slicks. Electric fuel pump is present but both fuel and brake lines have been removed. All wiring from the truck has been removed because I was going to replace it with a kit from Painless Wiring that I bought from Speedway Motors. I have since then returned this item. Interior is bare bones to say the least. All glass and gauges have been removed. New seat sliders have been ordered but not installed. Waiting for the new owner to decide his desired mounting location. Steering column and steering wheel are both present with the steering wheel having a quick disconnect feature. Clutch, brake, and gas pedals are included but have not been reinstalled at this time. This truck will roll and steer but you will need to provide at least a 15 inch set of Chevy bolt pattern wheels in order to be able to load it onto a trailer. This truck originally came with spindle mount front wheels which explains why I spent $1000.00 to put disk brakes on it. Truck will need completing. Most items that are installed are mocked up on the truck, so it would be in your best interest to check torque before final assembly on all bolts. I'm sure I'm forgetting some items so I would highly recommend anyone truly interested at this truck to view it before the auction ends. Anything else I can think of or find laying around that goes with this truck will be included in the auction. This is a rat rod and a project on top of that. So do not compare it to your wife's Camry or expect it to be flawless. Work and money will be needed to complete it. All sales are final, with no warranty expressed or implied. Bid with confidence because I pride myself on my 100% feedback that I've been able to maintain for the last seven years. This truck comes with a clear Indiana title. Where my wife filed for divorce so soon after I bought the truck I never bothered putting it in my name. Title has been signed by the previous owner, just waiting on whoever new buys it to add their name to it. Prefer local pickup but shipping must be arraigned at the buyers expense. Truck will not leave my possession until all funds have cleared. No exceptions. $250.00 non refundable deposit due immediately at auction end, balance to be paid in full within 7 days. This is a NO RESERVE auction so bid to win! F.Y.I. Included at the end of the picture gallery is what the truck looked like when I got it and to show the potential it has. |

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.
BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod
Thu, 20 Jun 2013Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
