CHECK OUT THIS GREAT FIND!

Being a mechanic for more than 40 years, I can say that this is the most SOLID, TIGHT 1951 Pickup I have ever seen. The undercarriage is solid and rust free as you can see in the pictures of the bed.  The boards were being taken out to be refinished, to give them a shine and they never finished it.  So I left them off, that way you could get a look at how clean the body underside is.

This truck was restored approximately 9-10yrs ago... I was told this truck has always been garaged with a concrete floor.  I put in a new a new battery fired it up and drove it. It ran fine.  It runs and sounds AWESOME! 

When the truck was restored, the motor was rebuilt at that time.

Replacement parts were as follows:  NEW DISTRIBUTOR, NEW STARTER SOLENOID, NEW VOLTAGE REGULATOR AND RECONDITIONED GENERATOR.

As far as I can tell it needs:  A new water pump (this one leaks), and a new starter (this one drags sometimes). Drivers door has a cracked window, door lock cylendar.

The body of the truck looks terrific in the sun or light of any kind for that matter.  All of the rubber around the windows and doors has been replaced with new.  The wheels ( KEYSTONE RAIDERS) and tires are in good condition.  The paint job is very shiny as you can see.  Some touchup would easily take care of a few imperfections.   The running boards, cab, bed, tailgate, and rear fenders are RUST FREE, and the most solid and tight I've ever seen!

Inside the cab, the seat and door panels are recovered with a matching blue and white. VERY NICELY DONE.

I have set a very LOW RESERVE on this truck...comparing it to others I've seen in the last few months, if it sells for under THE RESERVE you can consider it stolen from me, LOL...

The truck is on a 5 day auction but could end early due to the fact that it is also advertised locally.  If you are a serious bidder... PLEASE, FEEL FREE TO CALL ME with any questions.   636-667-1000

Happy Bidding!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.

Riding along in Ford's bonkers Fiesta ST Global RallyCross car [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013



The Mountune-worked Fiesta ST GRC does 0-to-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
On any given day, and every single weekend, there's at least one parking in the country invaded by manufacturer and team trucks. The be-chromed beasts and their 53-foot trailers are slotted into rows, men and women decorate the lot with orange cones to mark the invisible tracery of a temporary track, cars get unloaded, crews fret over them. The ritual can be as beautiful as the sunrise to those with enthusiast hearts, but it's just as common.
