I have a 1945 Ford pick up that I got from the 2nd owner (a family friend)-he had it since the early 1960's. his kids drove it to high school, then sometime in the late 70's the original flathead died and was removed. the truck sat in the barn unitl a few years back and then he had to push it outside to make room for another truck. He couldn't bear to let it sit and rot, so he sold it to me. I have too many projects and after buying it, I realized I don't have the time to invest in it.
condition-the truck is super straight. I'll start at the front and work my way back
the grille bars have a few bent ones, but look good and they are all there. the front fenders are straight and virtually rust free- there are a few really small bubbles of rust where the running board meets the fenders (pretty unnoticable and minor but it is there) the hood is great, the hood latch works. the hinges work without binding. the cab has one cab corner that has rust through-it is the size of an index finger about 3 inches by 1 inch. other than that it is great. dent free! there is a small drilled hole in the roof where a spot light was mounted (this was a GV-Government vehicle) there is no rot or rust around the 1/8 inch hole but again it is there so I don't want anyone to be surprised. the bed is surprisingly straight. the bed rails and front panel are in great condition. the stake pockets have a bit of rust through in the bottoms of each one. holes about the size of a quarter. the wood needs to be replaced. there is no tailgate. Running boards are really nice as well. the bottoms of the doors have some rust bubbles as well.
the inside of the cab is original, down to the key in the ignition. The guage panel is all there, the floor boards are great. the dash is great as well-a little rust on the defrost slat on the drivers side. the seat looks bad, but the springs have good bounce and a little padding and a seat cover or Mexican blanket and you are set to go.door panels are all present along with the handles which all work.
the motor is long gone (not present) the transmission is there with the bellhousing to hook up to a flathead 8. the rear end turns freely. stock steel rims, all four tires hold air. there is no drive line however. the underneath is solid, no issues.
black plate California truck. comes with a clean bill of sale. this is a honest representation of this truck. it is a great solid start for a restoration, hot rod, or rat rod. feel free to email any questions. you may have. a $500 deposit is due via paypal within 48 hours of the close of auction. the rest is due before the car leaves my house(within 1 week after the close of auction) the truck is in my driveway-I don't care how you get it but that is where it is and I cannot help transport in anyway. I will however make myself available to meet any driver or new owner at my house whenever they need to get the truck home.
Check out my feedback and you will see that I am an honest seller and a good ebayer.
good luck

2015 Ford Mustang stars in bizarrely awesome '80s aerobics video
Wed, 30 Apr 2014For reasons we can't comprehend, here's a music video starring the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang and a number of dancers dressed and styled in the most stereotypically 1980s way possible. The dancers then take part in a male-versus-female dance off. Again, we've no idea why it exists.
It's weird, and for the second time in two weeks, we're sat at our computer wondering, "What are we watching?" That said, it does show the new Mustang from a number of angles, and it's one of the first car-related YouTube videos we've seen that's available in a 4K, ultra-high-def stream.
Take a look below, and let us know what you think in Comments.
Weekly Recap: Matthew McConaughey's star shines brightly for Lincoln
Sat, Jan 3 2015The commercials were a little strange at first, but the ensuing spoofs were hilarious. And all jokes aside, Matthew McConaughey has made a difference for Lincoln. Advertisements starring the Oscar winner launched in September, and the results have been impressive. The number of customers clicking on Lincoln.com to check out the MKC – the crossover McConaughey pitched – has tripled since the ads began airing, a spokesman told Autoblog. They also generated 4.4 million views on YouTube and spawned parodies by Ellen DeGeneres, Conan O'Brien, South Park and Jim Carrey on Saturday Night Live, which racked up another 15 million views. Most importantly, Lincoln's sales have increased 15 percent through November, helped significantly by the strong launch of the MKC. Without the addition of the MKC, Lincoln's sales would have been essentially flat last year. The MKC has received solid reviews from consumers and the press, though it has had several recalls. "The overwhelming response to the MKC campaign sparked truly great awareness for Lincoln," Andrew Frick, Lincoln group marketing manager, said in a statement. Now Lincoln has launched another round of spots, which kicked off New Year's Day during college football bowl games. This time, McConaughey is hawking the MKZ sedan and its hybrid sibling. The spots, called Diner and Balance, use the same artistic formula as the earlier ads, with McConaughey intoning seriously about the cars in dramatic settings. They were shot over two days in Los Angeles and were directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, a Danish filmmaker who directed the 2011 move, Drive. The ads continue Lincoln's multiyear deal with McConaughey, who has said he's been long been interested in the brand. He starred in the 2011 thriller, The Lincoln Lawyer, as a defense attorney who worked out of a Town Car, though that was before his deal with Lincoln. In one of the earlier ads, McConaughey claims: "I've been driving a Lincoln since long before anybody paid me to drive one. I didn't do it to be cool. I didn't to it to make a statement. I just liked it." That sentiment appears to have worked for the MKC's launch, and with this new advertising blitz, Lincoln hopes it carries over to the MKZ.

Transit Courier completes Ford's new commercial van line, will we get it?
Sat, 13 Apr 2013This week Ford rolled out the 2014 Transit Courier, the fourth addition to its Transit range. Ford says its the first time for the nameplate in the compact van segment.
"Ford has now completely transformed its commercial vehicle line-up, with four all-new, class-leading Transits for European customers," said Barb Samardzich, vice president of product development for Ford Europe. "With the all-new Transit range, we expect sales to grow to 400,000 units per year by 2016, well over 50 percent more than we sell today."
When the Courier goes on sale in the Spring of 2014, it will offer more than 1,400 pounds of payload capacity, multiple mounting points for racks or other framework and a rear cargo area that can carry items 5.3 feet-long. An optional folding passenger seat boosts the cargo length to 8.5 feet.
