Dunnellon, Florida, United States
1936 ford V8 flathead "PROJECT"pickup. Truck was acquired from Arizona and was completely disassembled. partial restoration had begun by original owner? with some work to the cab and rear fenders.. We would categorize this as a preserved vehicle not running condition. many parts we worked on were professionally sand blasted down to metal. The engine which came with the truck we were told was a rare "4 Stroker 8CM Mercury V8 flathead which was the engine everyone wanted back then. engine was in non running NON functioning condition. engine and tranny are not installed in the vehicle.
We are including a complete 12 volt conversion set, GM alternator ( no VR needed) , alternator mount V8 1935-1936 original V8 engine only .complete 12 v gauge set , polymer gas tank with 12 volt sending unit installed. We are not antique ford truck experts..if something was exactly not original or my be other than stock we would not even know and are not going to state its all stock OEM so bid accordingly..that being said it all bolted up and all seemed to fit and function.. again this is not a museum piece..simply a 78 year old desert survivor that needs a good new home and another lease on life.. priced is extremely fair ..please don't try to talk us down, no trades etc..again try finding any 1936 ford pickups under $40,000 on the market today.. ( maybe Jay Leno might have one ? ) : - ) Some parts may be missing.. its not 100% this is was received in many boxes and containers so we did our best to assemble in order to inventory what we had..only glass was right door..back window was unserviceable..other did not come with truck..front window frame is missing..again this may have a few items missing..( SEE PHOTOS) what you see it what you will get.!!! We cleaned it up and had it on display until recently..motor and tranny will need complete rebuilding and condition unknown. engine is not free , tranny is free and shifts 1st and reverse ..truck had been converted to "Juice" modern hydraulic brakes...truck had been sitting in the elements for some time and will need a complete overhaul. We decided to assemble the truck basically to keep the parts together. but please understand this is a super rare 1936 Ford and they are impossible to find now..never been chopped etc. we sand blasted everything we could down to metal applied preservation coat of paint put in storage...dents and dings, normal cracks not repaired for the simple reason we were not rebuilding this truck, just preserving it for long time storage.wheels and tires are ones which came with the truck..tires are shot. it will need allot of TLC to say the least..about an inch of desert dirt was cleaned off and everything was sprayed with WD-40 ..but remains as it was when we got it.. again please know this is not a weekend project so please do not bid unless you have the skills and the tools to complete this restoration..also if your intention is to chop or rat rod this wonderful piece of automotive history please look elsewhere...We went to great lengths to get this truck and preserve it for the future..these were manufactured only one year 1936.. 1935 as well as 1937 were different trucks contrary to popular belief ...buyer is responsible for shipping and nothing will leave the garage until full payment is made...cash or cashiers check only with $500 paypal non refundable deposit required within 12 hours following end of auction. do not bid please if you cannot pay..no lowballers..we know what we have..try finding another one that's not either chopped or rusted to hell..thank you and good luck..

Aluminum lightweighting does, in fact, save fuel
Mon, Apr 14 2014When the best-selling US truck sheds the equivalent weight of three football fullbacks by shifting to aluminum, folks start paying attention. Oak Ridge National Laboratory took a closer look at whether the reduced fuel consumption from a lighter aluminum body makes up for the fact that producing aluminum is far more energy intensive than steel. And the results of the study are pretty encouraging. In a nutshell, the energy needed to produce a vehicle's raw materials accounts for about 10 percent of a typical vehicle's carbon footprint during its total lifecycle, and that number is up from six percent because of advancements in fuel economy (fuel use is down to about 68 percent of total emissions from about 75 percent). Still, even with that higher material-extraction share, the fuel-efficiency gains from aluminum compared to steel will offset the additional vehicle-extraction energy in just 12,000 miles of driving, according to the study. That means that, from an environmental standpoint, aluminum vehicles are playing with the house's money after just one year on the road. Aluminum-sheet construction got topical real quickly earlier this year when Ford said the 2015 F-150 pickup truck would go to a 93-percent aluminum body construction. In addition to aluminum being less corrosive than steel, that change caused the F-150 to shed 700 pounds from its curb weight. And it looks like the Explorer and Expedition SUVs may go on an aluminum diet next. Take a look at SAE International's synopsis of the Oak Ridge Lab's study below. Life Cycle Energy and Environmental Assessment of Aluminum-Intensive Vehicle Design Advanced lightweight materials are increasingly being incorporated into new vehicle designs by automakers to enhance performance and assist in complying with increasing requirements of corporate average fuel economy standards. To assess the primary energy and carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) implications of vehicle designs utilizing these materials, this study examines the potential life cycle impacts of two lightweight material alternative vehicle designs, i.e., steel and aluminum of a typical passenger vehicle operated today in North America. LCA for three common alternative lightweight vehicle designs are evaluated: current production ("Baseline"), an advanced high strength steel and aluminum design ("LWSV"), and an aluminum-intensive design (AIV).
Ford UK exec says EVs are a good way to lose a fortune
Wed, Mar 19 2014Stateside, Ford execs are quick to point out the automaker's expansion in the plug-in sector. And despite a minimal presence in the pure EV space, the Blue Oval has been promoting its plug-in vehicles as part of an overall effort to boost fleetwide fuel economy. Too bad the company's UK chief didn't get the memo. There's "no point in us getting behind [EVs] and losing a fortune" - Ford's Mark Ovenden Mark Ovenden, speaking rather frankly at the Geneva Motor Show recently, said he didn't have real high hopes for substantial electric-vehicle adoption and said the company's money was better spent on smaller gas- and diesel-powered engines, the UK's Daily Mail says. Ovenden said of EV development that there was "no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune," adding that his goal was to have variants of Ford's EcoBoost engine in 40 percent of the company's vehicles. Ford has about a 15-percent market share in the UK. The UK doesn't appear to be as kind to the EV as the US. Nissan last year cut the price of its all-electric Leaf there last year by about $4,000, while the company rolled out a promotion for the Leaf late last year, including allowing Leaf drivers to borrow a gas- or diesel-powered Nissan for free for as long as two weeks a year during the first three years of Leaf ownership. In the US, Ford sold just 229 Ford Focus Electrics during the first two months of the year after moving 1,738 units in 2013.
How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be
Fri, 20 Sep 2013Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.
