Welcome! That is one sweet truck! How did you get it so low? I am glad to see the mini "spoiler" under the front bumper. I have the same one under mine.

@max the autobahn is in germany (5 minutes from me away) but the places were you can drive at unlimited speed are limited.

You mind telling us the story behind your 514 Slick 514ford?
Like who built it?
Was it built to your specs?

No need revealing what it cost. I know it's way over my budget.

You mind if I photoshop some flames on it? :D

please photoshop some flames!

well i was searching for a slick for years.
couldn't find a nice one that was not rotted or had a worn engine here in europe.
then this one popped on ebay.
i followed it but did not bid.
the auction ended but the truck did not sell
this went om for 3 auctions.
the second was buy it now for $12000,-
then i called the owner and began negotiating.
then he started the third auction that had no reserve.
we made a deal and the auction was ended .

the owner had the truck for 6 years and the guy before him for 15 years.
the truck hasn't seen any rain in more than 20 years.
therfor the truck has no rust whatsoever...
it had no whipers...
the previous owner did work on it for al those years..
he build the rear chassis.
the front clip was installed by the owner before him.
he bumped into a early bronco that he wanted so he sold it to mme
the engine was build up 2000mls ago.
new c6 including a shiftkit new rearaxle that has 4.11 gears and tracklock
it has discbrakes on all fours (wilwood in the rear (new)).
shaved doors and so on.....

have to look for spec's of the engine..

do you guy's have pro street slick's over there?

who is elpo?/
