Your looking @ a great Barn find 1949 Ford F-100 Rat rod with amazing Patina..This truck has the look, the body is all original with no previous repair or body work, has normal farm truck dings and dents (lt box side crease, looks cool!). It's difficult to call it a Rat rod, its not piece mailed together with odds and ends from the shop, this truck was pulled from a barn 2 years ago in Tennessee, it was sitting in the barn for over 30 years untouched. The floors are in good shape (90%), the truck is pretty solid with the normal areas that would need attention; cab corners, bottom portion of fender, absolutely workable, these areas need no attention the way the truck sits is perfect for it's look. Frame is solid, with no issues! The most amazing part about this truck is how great the Patina is, each time I clean the body the better it looks, if you look at the photo's you will see the change, the results each time are noticeable...
I have this truck set up on a 3 year plan that is being made very difficult to complete with my wife, my Stage 1 is complete so far..., Stage 1 listed below::-) All of this was done by a master re-builder (Willy B-well known in Rochester) not a back yard guy::-)) Complete overhaul on front suspension with a 4" SIDS dropped axle (sits low, no issues), custom made tie rod tube and steering link from box to arm, new leaf springs, new disc brake front, drum rear with all new lines and hardware, done professionally, looks and feels great, new shocks, freshly rebuilt straight 6 that appears to be out of a late 60's Mustang, with a C4 transmission (shifts great), new timing chain, this motor runs amazing, almost to good to remove that's why I left it in at this stage, reconditioned rear end out of a late 57 Chevy; unsure on gears thinking mid 3's runs 60 mph, plan is to change to low 3's or high 2's to increase high way speed, lug pattern changed to Chevy to accommodate more wheel options (cheaper parts etc..), brand new 15" Coker white wall tires with brand new Gennie steel wheels freshly base clear painted red ($1600), straight pipe exhaust from manifold no muffler (sounds cool!), new wiring harness with fuse block, all outside lights work perfectly passes state inspection, wiring in cab ready for music (not done yet), new radiator to accommodate a 8 cyl, new alternator, battery, new trans lines, new fuel lines ran to fuel cell, fuel tank mounted in bed to give more in cab space, I'm 6 foot wanted more cab space, all new glass with factory tint smoke, new window seals, door glass operates perfectly, no leaks or wind noise (at least from the glass, lol), removed battery from motor compartment, mounted in cooler in bed for look and to give me more room in the motor compartment for next motor, old barn construction wood mounted in bed (looks great!). I have over $6K invested in (stage 1) all listed above (this does not include truck purchase), I have a folder with all invoices on all listed...I am still working on it as we speak, and wont stop... Right now it's registered and driven any chance I can, it's road worthy and passed NY state inspection ...after finishing everything listed above I took this on a 200 mile road trip to the Syracuse Nationals with no issues, the truck rides and runs great with no major issues, so much fun to drive, people love it and want to talk every were I go.. My next Stage would be to AIR Bag's with a mustang II front end complemented with a 4 link rear, finish the interior to new, I'm thinking another $4-5 k this truck will be perfect. I don't have to sell, I'm trying to appease the wife right now, the timing and patience for completion is off right now, if it does not sell I will finish it and enjoy it... Please call Matt with any questions, I am willing to help arrange shipping, I have resources through the company I used to transport from Tennessee. My reserve is set below my Buy it Now, Good LUCK, do not hesitate to call. This truck is not for sale locally, I do have the right to end this auction early if someone approaches me locally and offers me the right price.. I'm located 5 mins outside of Rochester NY>> 60 miles East of Buffalo 585.7two one. 9 nine three six ::-)) Cell Call me rather than sending messages through Ebay.. or email mrmotoman306@yahoo.com Thanks for looking!! |

Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...
Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.
New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
