US $19,900.00

Jacksonville, Florida, United States

A "now" driver.  If it doesn't start in 10 seconds (cold start, or running temperature), $500 off agreed sell price.

BODY/PAINT: Very solid frame & body (unrestored; "farmer" respectfully kept condition).  That means, didn't push/pull a tractor or push the fence down with it.  Couple scratches, dings, decent paint job years ago with some non-peeling crackle.  Magnet sticks to everything-all areas of both doors, etc, etc.  No accidents.  Doors do not fly open hitting bumps or turning corners at 90MPH (of course kidding about cornering @ 90mph, but not about doors staying closed on all cornering).

MECHANICALS: Yes, truly starts in 10 seconds or less.  NO oil burn smoke *anytime*.  Clutch never slips.  Never runs hot (does have an auxillary electric cooling fan, but I have never had to turn it on even in Florida scorch time of day).  Old tranny is a slow top loader floor shifter, as was expected from new.  Brakes are safe.  Has an electric fuel pump (w/mechanical in place also as just show).  Steering box is smooth original with minimal play ( even new in 1940 it wasn't el perfect tight) & no kinking/rough feels.  Tires are not dry rotted.  Could use a carb rebuild or removal & tightening of lower gasket screws at some point (little seapage on bottom; doesn't effect performance).  No other over-all system leaks as of this writing.  Roll up windows work good.  Cowl vent opens for that 1940 A/C.

ELECTRICS: No shorts.  New battery 4 days ago (old one had 2 bad cells).  All lights work except maybe dash gauge lights.  Oil, charge & added temp gauges work. 

INTERIOR: New (a pinch of upgrade) seat; cardboard surrounds; interior light added (again, pinch of upgrade); mat; glass, etc.

New jeweled/chrome exhaust tips.  All glass seals fairly new.    

OWNERSHIP:  requires a knowledge of market, old vehicle mechanicals, & the ability to decide on unique time capsule ownership worth paying for.  All others NOT need apply.  If you want a hot rodded, or "up graded" modernized rendition-need NOT apply.  For your viewing pleasure, seller, Howard.  Call for a GOOD TIME ANTIQUE TRUCK: 904-881-3495.  You will not be dissappointed (& if you are looking at these type of relics-won't miss the purchase money; you & your heirs won't be dissappointed).  As a great philosopher "Howard" once said: "Time for another time machine". 

*If u want to own it, gotta step up to the plate & home run it".  This is the lowest priced "nice/usable" 1/2 ton on market (believe it or not).  Most of you know, what most are expecting depending on conditon of each truck.  Doesn't matter how long you wait, the price will still be more than mine.  If its restored its $40k.  If its a project drive it next year (maybe).  If its a correctly & nicely done hot rod, its $40k  Make sure the frame is good on others in this period (especially projects; prepare for new frame or cut & paste welding of 2 frames.).  They tended to rust up & over the rear axle big time (collapsable potentials).  Words of wisdom, or just ignore my sloppy ignorance.  My 1940 for sale example has NONE of this frame condition.

A 1946 Chevy 1/2 ton panel delivery six cylinder diamond in the rough just sold for almost $19k.  Yes, running driver with a nostalgic repainted logo & a great video accompanied by a great country song.  Presentation sells.  Sorry, a buyer of my truck will just have to imagine the music, country road & old farm logo.  It is a "flathead" V8, better looking, performance, balance, Ford, & time period pick'm up truck protocol.  I am working on making a driving video w/my new I-phone 5s, but don't hold your breath (I have linked YouTubed video to Ebay listing before, but long time ago).  Buyer: take as long as you want to contemplate ownership.  The truck will not desintegrate for at least  300 more years, give or take 100 years.............................................................

ATTENTION: Any sale, payments, & transport removal must be done BEFORE 6/18/2014. Vacation is on horizen. I may end listing early for that, & other reasons.

Ford Focus ST checks into Jay Leno's Garage

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.
Riding on stylish 18-inch wheels with summer tires and with a spoiler that doubles as a lunch tray, Hameedi and Leno walk us through the finer points of what makes the ST special, which also includes bigger brakes, torque vectoring, a manual transmission and, of course, 252 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which is made possible by 21 psi of turbocharged boost.
Watch the video below to see what Leno thinks of the global Focus ST.

Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.

Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.
