1965 FORD F-100 Styleside Pickup:  

This is an amazingly straight and clean California truck. It has been professionally built and represents over $45,000 in parts and labor. It has been mechanically and electrically refit from bottom up, with the best parts available. I am offering it as it currently sits, so the buyer can have freedom to do the finishing touches in their fashion. I am selling due to lack of any spare time, caused by a new job.

This 1965 F100 is powered by a "no expense spared" FE 428 Cobra Jet engine, which puts out 550+ horsepower and 600ft lbs of torque. All of this power is delivered through a TCI C-6 automatic transmission and 2000 rpm TCI stall converter. Power reaches the rear wheels with a strong 9" rear end, featuring 3.89 Richmond gears and Auburn pro series limited slip Posi traction. This one of a kind engine cost over $25,000 to build, from a "new old stock" 1966 engine block! The engine dynamometer results sheet, is shown in the listing pictures.

This vehicle is mechanically in near mint condition, with only around 100 miles on the engine and components. It can run the quarter mile in mid to high 11 second passes, while also being easily drivable on the street. The project is at a good point, to finish it the way you want. The truck could be finished as a street/show vehicle, by adding turn signals and brake lights, or use it as a race vehicle with your finishing touches. The body is excellent, so a show quality paint job would be possible, with minimum work. The doors shut and close very smoothly. You really have to hear/see this truck to appreciate and understand it's potential. Make sure to read the extensive parts list bellow.

The truck is located in Lantana, 10 min south of West Palm Beach, Florida. You can arrange a visit/inspection, by messaging me.

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.

Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines

Sat, 23 Feb 2013


It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.

Ford announces 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Ford has pulled the wraps off its anticipated 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition model, a new variant of the popular street-legal off-road specialist. In a nutshell, the "special" is all cosmetic - there are no mechanical upgrades to the truck and its 6.2-liter V8 (411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque), Torsen limited-slip differential, beadlock-capable wheels and internal triple-bypass FOX Racing Shox dampers all remain untouched.
The SVT Raptor Special Edition, which adds cosmetic enhancements to the existing Luxury Package, will be offered in Ruby Red Metallic and Tuxedo Black Metallic with box-side graphics. The interior upgrades include Brick Red seat bolsters (with black inserts), cloth honeycomb highlights and a console top finish panel.
As of now, Ford has only release a couple pictures of the Special Edition model. But check back later, as we will update the gallery when additional high-res images are released later today, and be sure to peruse the press release below for all the details.
