1951 Ford F1 Truck Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Jeffersonville, Georgia, United States
This truck started out as an Atlanta, GA built V8 5 star extra cab pickup in Sheridan Blue. It has had a hard life since then. As can be seen, the body panels are dented and rusty. There is no motor, trans, radiator, driveshaft, etc. Some of the interior pieces are missing as well. I would consider this a parts truck only or possibly use the chassis, cab, and bed for a rat rod starter project. The floor is rusty, the doors are rusty at the bottom, the cab corners are rusty, the running boards are rusty, the fenders are rusty, the hood is rusty, etc. I just took out the windshield because I need the stainless so the truck hasn’t been getting rained in from the front side. I have a tarp covering the cab now. Study photos carefully as they are a large part of the description. The frame appears in pretty good shape and the 3 spd trans crossmember isn’t cut up like so many of these old trucks. The truck appears to be used up but never taken apart so most of the peculiar fasteners and clips are in place. The RH front tire is busted but the other three air up. The truck steers and rolls easily. The grille and front edges of the fenders would look neat on a mancave wall; Salvage Dawgs (on TV) got $1200 for this same feature on a 48-50 grille—double your money!!! As
a reflection of the sheetmetal condition, the opening bid is set at roughly
twice scrap value; first bid buys it! I can’t ship it but I will help you load
it. Less than 10 feedback contact me before bidding to avoid cancellation of
bid. $100 Paypal deposit due with three days of auction end; rest of payment
due in cash at time of pickup. DO NOT pay full balance with Paypal or I will be
forced to charge you another 3% to cover their fees. No title for this type of
vehicle in GA; sold with bill of sale only. I reserve right to end auction
early. I can hold truck for up to three weeks after auction ends after receipt
of deposit. Jason four 7 eight, two 3 three, three 2 nine 2. |

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
Couple fined for parking Ford F-150 in their own driveway
Tue, Jan 20 2015A homeowners' association in New York is suing two of its residents for parking their pickup truck in their own driveway. David and Arna Orlando of Manlius, NY, are facing a lawsuit from the Kimry Moor Homeowners Association for parking their black 2014 Ford F-150 pickup in their own driveway. The Orlandos own their home, but common areas such as their driveway are managed by their HOA, which limits what vehicles can park in the open. They only allow "private, passenger-type, pleasure automobiles" to park outside of a garage. David Orlando says his pickup is a personal passenger vehicle and that the rule is silly. He also feels he is being unfairly targeted. A Syracuse.com reporter drove around the Orlandos' neighborhood and saw another fullsize pickup parked in another driveway, along with a large van and SUV. The Orlandos said in court documents that the pickup is registered as a private vehicle and neither of them have commercial drivers' licenses. The lawsuit was filed in August 2013 and is still in the discovery phase. Depositions are up next. New York seems to have gone power-mad when it comes to regulating common driveway activities. In a Garden City, NY, neighborhood last year police were called when two men began washing a new Volkswagen "in public view", which was against a local ordinance.

Ford trademarking 'Mach 1,' possibly for Mustang
Thu, 24 Oct 2013A legendary name might be accompanying the redesigned, 2015 Mustang when it finally makes its world debut - Mach 1. Stumbled upon by the team at Ford Authority, the Mach 1 title was found in a trademark filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office, and would revive a name last used on the fourth-generation, 2003 Mustang.
While the the 2003 vintage was well and good, the Mach 1 is really remembered for a three-year run from 1969 to 1971 - it's best to just forget the emissions-choked 1972 to 1978 Mach 1s - when power output ranged from a modest 250 horsepower with the two-barrel, 351-cubic-inch Windsor V8 to "375 hp" (actual output was rumored to be well north of 400 horsepower) with the righteous, 429-cubic-inch Super Cobra Jet V8.
What does the title hold for the sixth-generation Mustang? It's tough to say. The fanatics at Ford Authority seem to think Mach 1 could take the place of the Shelby GT500 at the top of the Mustang hierarchy, which sounds like a valid argument. At the same time, we could see the SVT Cobra moniker returning for the flagship model, and the Mach 1 doing battle with the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (unless the Boss 302 were to return). Confounding things is the historical precedent - the Mach 1 was responsible for the death of the Mustang GT in 1969, so it might make sense as a volume performance model.
