1955 Ford F-100 V8 Original Barn Find Survivor on 2040-cars
Wichita Falls, Texas, United States
Here is another from my collection up for sale. A 1955 Ford F100 original survivor. The clean and clear Texas title is ready to be transferred over to the new owner. The vin shows that this is an original truck out of the Dallas plant and goldenrod yellow since day one. Also shows the 239 v8 and three on the tree as original as well. A real survivor which was last registered in 84. My only goal on this truck was to bring it back to running condition since it had been sitting untouched for years under a cover in a garage. I did a complete oil change with filter, new fuel filter, fuel lines front to back and complete gas tank clean out. I completely disassembled the carb and cleaned it, I lubed and oiled all rockers,checked all of the pushrods, installed new intake gaskit when going back on as well. I had the original started rebuilt and a installed a new factory fuel pump. The first start was good with no unusual noise or smoke of anykind. I ran it last night in 38 degree weather for about 20 minutes and I believe it awake and nearly ready to go after years of sleep. The only thing that I would do is new brakes, a battery charge and possibly an alternator to get it road worthy. I forgot to mention, I also just installed a full set of 5 new cooper tires on it. As you can see it is very straight. I have found one rust area inside the rear driver fender at the bottom on the edge. Probably one of the best places for it to be. It cannot be seen from the outside either. The interior is nice as well. the windshield has a crack but can still be bought online. the side glass is new. I also have new handles andcranks that have not yet been installed. The rubbers all good too. This really is a survivor. WIth a buff and polish it would be real nice, i have not even cleaned it. The truck could be back on the road in a weekend! I might consider trade on a 69 chevelle if anyone has one. Thank you for looking, I will be happy to help in arranging shipping or help in loading the truck. Sold as is where is.

Yearly auto recall record demolished in 6 months
Tue, Jul 1 2014With nearly 40 million vehicles under repair campaigns and counting, 2014 will almost certainly go down as the year of the automotive recall. At just past the halfway mark, we are already at record levels, and there aren't any signs that the epidemic is slowing. General Motors' latest 8.4 million vehicle recall in the US puts the industry over the top for the title of the most cars with fixes pending from automakers ever. That's a prize no one ever wants to receive. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the US recall total has hit 39.85-million vehicles to surpass the previous record of 33.01 million in 2004. Perhaps more surprising, with over 26 million repairs pending, it's still quite possibly that GM could recall more vehicles by the end of the year than the 27.96-million unit total of the entire US auto industry last year. With over 40 campaigns under its belt in 2014, the roughly one million cars it would take would hardly come as a surprise at this point, especially with increased government scrutiny into the Detroit automaker's processes. The pace of recalls started off relatively normal this year, with just a smattering of campaigns. The most surprising early on was Aston Martin calling in about 75 percent of its output since 2007 due to counterfeit plastic, but with just a few thousand cars, it was relatively tiny in pure numbers. GM really kicked things off soon after, but we didn't know it at the time. It issued its first bulletin for 778,000 Cobalt compacts in early February. Things only ballooned from there as more models were added to its growing ignition switch problem. The onslaught of announcements from every major automaker hasn't abated since then. Some industry executives are trying to put a positive spin on the situation. "With what's transpired (in recent months), there's a higher level of scrutiny," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, to TheDetroitBureau.com. He believes that automakers are looking at data much more thoroughly than before, and it means better customer safety. Still, many consumers probably wish these problems had been found before their car went on sale.
Ford confirms launch of new Tourneo vans and Ecosport in Europe for Geneva
Sun, 24 Feb 2013We've already seen plenty of what the Geneva Motor Show will have in store for us in less than two weeks, but most of the confirmed debuts that were announced so far have generally been luxury or performance cars. Ford, on the other hand, will be showing off a couple of its new family-friendly models for European buyers to enjoy.
On the larger side of things, the full range of Tourneo vans (shown above) will be on display, including the introduction of the new Tourneo Courier model, but Ford will also be showing off the all-new EcoSport crossover, which is based on the automaker's Global B platform and will be positioned beneath the Kuga, better known here as the Escape. The subcompact EcoSport was originally unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show last April.
