1937 Ford 1/2 Ton Pick Up Truck on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
|
This is a mild custom original. Has a 50's Mercury flathead V8 with tri-power. Converted to 12 Volts. Also, has a 1997 S-10 five speed manual transmission which seems to be a perfect fit & easy shifting (& has a new clutch recently). Most else is original & well taken care of by long time owner. New tires have just been put on, with 16's, but bigger size in the back (spare is also new). New electric fuel pump, but a new original type mechanical comes with it also. It has sort of a VW horn (operated via foot button to left of clutch pedalL, but comes with a new ahooga horn. Starts easy & runs smooth. New mufflers make it sound mild hum/roar. Gauges work except for the gas gauge which needs to be calibrated to the new Ford sending unit ( I have the gentleman's name to get this done; otherwise just keep the new poly tank filled). The lights were working but the guy I bought it from said a new switch was needed & one is supplied with purchase. I may tinker to figure it out. The fog lights work on a seperate switch. There is a lighter socket plug in for a supplied handheld fan/heater (maybe defrost back-up). It probably could be mounted for more convenience. Truck is a hoot to drive & scoots for an old school HP. Comes with 7 period hubcaps & 6 beauty rings. Or, you can leave them off (see the driver side picture with all OFF; passenger side all hubcaps & beauty rings on for preferred look comparison; I prefer the hubcap & beauty ring look). Two extra rims & I think two tires. Needed items eventually: minimal rust at driver door back corner & rain catcher/gutter. Couple small bubbles on passenger door & less issue @ rain gutter. The new light installed, as mentioned. All the glass is excellent/new, but the driver's door roll-up glass has a crack. It rolls up/down smoothly & is not going to fall out. Passenger door window winds up/down smooth also. The bed wood looks to be original or replaced @ older restore. It is very solid antique wood/hold down strips. The truck underside/frame is excellent with no rust. The hood sections were just sat on for pictures & not latched tight (usually left off for cool engine seeing). The crank out windshield & air intake cowl port both work easily.
On Feb-05-14 at 12:14:24 PST, seller added the following information: As can be seen, every exhaust part is new. The doors close tight, evenly & snug with no drop in hinges or latches. On Feb-05-14 at 13:15:27 PST, seller added the following information: I meant to put in a picture of the bed wood, but do to limited picture loading on this format, I could not. I can send more pictures to any email or maybe thru ebay. The wood is aged but not rotting or need replacement. On Feb-05-14 at 15:31:31 PST, seller added the following information: Has two gas caps, one regular, one locking (whichever owner prefers). Has temperature gauge radiator cap. The added tach works. Also, a period dash glove box clock (would have to install; came on deluxe model?); could use new glass; I have the address of gentleman that has one & will install the new glass, free or inexpensively). |

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum
Tue, Aug 27 2019Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles. The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
