1940 Ford Rat Rod Pickup

***NO RESERVE***

Description: Custom frame with air suspension, custom 18" chrome wheels, modified 350 (estimated at 450 HP), reworked automatic transmission

Body: Box has been shortened about 4" with floor removed to accommodate frame and suspension, included with the auction is a custom made (from Liquid Steel) recessed firewall not installed, the cab is in very good condition with the seat riser, there is some floor rust but the this section should be modified to accept the transmission tunnel, doors are complete and close well, cab corners have very little rust, dash is complete, original and uncut. The body is in the mock-up stage for fitting, hood hinges are new.

Interior: The interior is complete and unrestored, the original bench seat is included, some glass is cracked, the steering column is from a 49 Mercury.

Parts included but not shown: 2 air pumps, 4 solenoids, air tank, special build recessed firewall.

History: I bought this truck from a friend who ran into financial difficulties and was forced to sell it. We had hoped he would recover and be able to buy it back, but a year has gone by and he called and said that wasn't likely to happen. He spent over 30K getting it to this stage, he had no intention of doing paint or bodywork but everything else was going to be high end, and as a result the work done to this point is first class.

Location: The truck is located near Salmon Arm British Columbia a few hours from the Washington border. If the truck is sold to a US buyer I can help with the paperwork I've done it many times in the past, its not dificult

Shipping: I can help locate shipping however it takes a lot of time so I will not give shipping quotes during the auction and then only to the winning bidder.

Contact: You can email any questions or call me directly at 1-250-515-1110

Payment: Payment must be received within 4 days of the end of the auction in the form of cash when the truck is picked up, official bank check (must clear before delivery) or a bank wire transfer.

Overall: In my opinion this is one of the best looking rat rods I've seen, although not finished most of the hard and expensive work is done. I have a large classic car collection and I'm out of space otherwise I would finish it and keep it. I'm offering it unreserved with a low starting bid so if you want a great deal on a really neat rat rod this is your chance. The truck is for sale locally so I may end the auction early. There is no buy it now price but you can make an offer.

Thanks for looking

Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
