1946 Ford Truck, Pickup, F100, Rat Rod Project, No Reserve on 2040-cars
Georgetown, Kentucky, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1946 Ford "rat rod" pickup. This truck was purchased by me in June 2013 and it was my intention to upgrade the truck to my taste as I owned it. Unfortunately a few weeks after my purchase my wife and I decided to separate. Our divorce is now final so it's time to move it out of the garage and to let someone else enjoy it. When I purchased the truck it was running and driving. The motor was a mildly built 355 Chevy and the transmission was a Saginaw 4-speed mated to a Hurst ram rod shifter. Since July I have already sold the motor, transmission, shifter, radiator, and drive line. These items will not be included in this auction. What is included is as follows. A 1946 Ford pickup cab and bed. Both have a really nice patina that just gives this truck a badass look. Doors are included but the hinges have been cut off. Rust is present, as with any truck of this nature, but previous owner has made attempts to replace panels where necessary, mainly in the cab floor. Bed does not currently have a floor in it but it is mounted to the frame as is the cab. Frame is made from a 1930 model A Ford that has been z'd in the rear and has also had a new front end and brake kit from Speedway Motors installed. This kit alone retails for $950.00 and to find out more info on what is included in the kit here is a link to the item on Speedway Motors. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Ford-Wilwood-Front-Brake-and-Steering-Kits-48-Inch-Axle,36236.html Also up front is a set of fiction shocks and a vega steering box. Frame has been freshly painted and shows no sign of abuse and the Small Block Chevy motor mounts are still present. Front grille also looks good as well as the front headlamps. Rear end is a 8.5 10 bolt from a S-10 with 3.54 gears installed, rear brakes are drum. Rear wheels are 15x10 Cragar with Firestone Drag Slicks. Electric fuel pump is present but both fuel and brake lines have been removed. All wiring from the truck has been removed because I was going to replace it with a kit from Painless Wiring that I bought from Speedway Motors. I have since then returned this item. Interior is bare bones to say the least. All glass and gauges have been removed. New seat sliders have been ordered but not installed. Waiting for the new owner to decide his desired mounting location. Steering column and steering wheel are both present with the steering wheel having a quick disconnect feature. Clutch, brake, and gas pedals are included but have not been reinstalled at this time. This truck will roll and steer but you will need to provide at least a 15 inch set of Chevy bolt pattern wheels in order to be able to load it onto a trailer. This truck originally came with spindle mount front wheels which explains why I spent $1000.00 to put disk brakes on it. Truck will need completing. Most items that are installed are mocked up on the truck, so it would be in your best interest to check torque before final assembly on all bolts. I'm sure I'm forgetting some items so I would highly recommend anyone truly interested at this truck to view it before the auction ends. Anything else I can think of or find laying around that goes with this truck will be included in the auction. This is a rat rod and a project on top of that. So do not compare it to your wife's Camry or expect it to be flawless. Work and money will be needed to complete it. All sales are final, with no warranty expressed or implied. Bid with confidence because I pride myself on my 100% feedback that I've been able to maintain for the last seven years. This truck comes with a clear Indiana title. Where my wife filed for divorce so soon after I bought the truck I never bothered putting it in my name. Title has been signed by the previous owner, just waiting on whoever new buys it to add their name to it. Prefer local pickup but shipping must be arraigned at the buyers expense. Truck will not leave my possession until all funds have cleared. No exceptions. $250.00 non refundable deposit due immediately at auction end, balance to be paid in full within 7 days. This is a NO RESERVE auction so bid to win! F.Y.I. Included at the end of the picture gallery is what the truck looked like when I got it and to show the potential it has. |

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Mark LaNeve named head of Ford US sales and marketing
Thu, Jan 8 2015Ford continues to rework the positions of its top marketing executives as Jim Farley moves to take over the Blue Oval in Europe and Stephen Odell becomes head of global sales. The latest shift brings Mark LaNeve in as the new vice president of US marketing, sales, service and dealer relations, effective February 1. LaNeve replaces John Felice, who is retiring. Felice was with the automaker for the last 30 years and held his most recent job since November of 2013. In addition to coordinating marketing and sales, LaNeve's other duty is to build "innovative new digital communications and transforming the retail experience for customers," according to the automaker's press release announcing the change. He reports to both Odell and Joe Hinrichs, Ford's boss of the Americas. LaNeve has a long history in the auto industry. He spent a portion of his early career with Cadillac but eventually was hired as the CEO of Volvo Cars North America. He also headed up US marketing at General Motors for several years in the 2000s. Since 2012, LaNeve has been the chief operating officer at Global Ford Team, which is responsible for the company's worldwide advertising. There's an interesting challenge ahead of LaNeve in leading the Blue Oval's US marketing and sales in 2015. Ford was the bestselling auto brand here in 2014 but overall sales fell about 1.1 percent. According to Automotive News, the company's market share dropped to 14.9 percent, a one-percent reduction and the lowest level since 2008. Read below for the automaker's official announcement of LaNeve's new job. JOHN FELICE RETIRING AFTER 30 YEARS; FORD NAMES MARK LANEVE TO LEAD U.S. MARKETING, SALES AND SERVICE TEAM John Felice is retiring as vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service, after 30 years of service Mark LaNeve, named vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service and elected a Ford Motor Company officer; former chief operating officer at Global Team Ford brings nearly three decades of automotive marketing and sales experience to Ford Ford Motor Company [NYSE: F] announced today changes in its senior leadership team as it continues to deliver and accelerate the company's One Ford plan while driving for product excellence and innovation. John Felice, vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service, has elected to retire after 30 years at Ford, effective Feb. 1, 2015.
