46 Ford Pickup With Title Ratrod Project Patina on 2040-cars

Year:1946 Mileage:0
Location:

1946 Ford pickup. I have a clean Missouri title in my name. The V.I.N. on the title matches the number on the frame and the transmission. You will get a frame that is in good shape, the rear of the frame has some damage to the cross member and the rear frame rails have bit of damage. I don't think it is very serious and could be fixed easily. There is a banjo rear end mounted in the frame, it spins freely. I will include an 8.8 Ford rear end with 3:73 gears and a limited slip that came out of a 96 Explorer with a 5.0. I have two drive shafts, one for the 8.8 and another one that came with the truck. The front axle is a straight axle with drum brakes. The brakes do not work on the front or rear. I have it sitting on four tires that hold air so that it can be rolled around. The cab is in need of work, there are no floors except where the seat should be, there is no seat or interior of any kind. I have braced up the cab and tack welded the doors shut to help keep the cab in shape. It has a dash and instrument panel, though the gauges are in sad shape. The steering column has been removed I will include it but it is not really any good. There is no door glass and the window and door latches are inoperative and may be missing most of the mechanisms. There are no door handles. The right side windshield is there but foggy, the drivers side windshield is missing. Some of the windshield frame is still there. The rear glass is missing. The bed needs a floor and has a lot of dents and dings, the tailgate is there but has no way of making it functional without some fabrication work. The bed will need to be braced and rebuilt. The rear fenders are missing. There are no tail lights. The truck has no wiring or electrical system at all. The front clip has fenders and inner fenders and a grill. They are all dented and are in need of work, it does have headlights I don't know if they are any good though. I have running boards, they are in need of work. This truck needs everything, it is truly a project and it is completely covered with surface rust, I planned to make it a rat rod, but time and funding problems have forced my hand. I have other projects going so it is time to thin the herd. Please keep in mind that this is a disassembled non running vehicle that will need everything to make it roadworthy. There is no engine included but I do have the original transmission with V.I.N. stamped on it that matches the frame, I do not know the condition of the transmission. I have other parts that came with the truck that i will include, some of them may be useful others not so much. This truck will need to be towed. since it is in numerous pieces the buyer will need to come pick it up. I will help you load it, but the buyer is responsible for all shipping charges. Sold as is where is. Feel free to ask any questions, if I haven't covered it here.

I made a mistake in the description, the V.I.N. matches the frame and the transmission only. THERE IS NO ENGINE WITH THIS VEHICLE!!! sorry for any confusion

2015 Ford Focus Electric hides in plain sight

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

The styling changes to the 2015 Ford Focus were shown off at the recent Geneva Motor Show, so what the EV version looks like is not that much of a surprise. Still, the 2015 Focus Electric is making its world debut here at the New York Auto Show, so we wanted to know what changes we are looking at compared to both the internal combustion engine version and the earlier EV models.
The exterior visual distinctions between the ICE and EV are minimal, and basically nonexistent from the A-pillar to the rear. Up front, you can see the charge port, of course, but the front fascia has also undergone a bit of an adjustment. The front doesn't have the ICE version's flattened grille and the EV's Ford logo creates a bump in the hood line where none exists on the ICE. The 2015's grille is also different than the one on the 2014 Focus Electric, being slightly smaller (you can see this better if you compare pictures in our new gallery above to these of the 2011 Focus Electric and these of the gas-powered 2015 Focus).
The updated 2015 interior - which we couldn't access ourselves - has things like a new center stack, improved cupholders and is basically identical between the gas and electric models. With the car off, you can't even tell if you're in an EV or ICE, Seema Bardwaj, the US brand manager for the Focus, told AutoblogGreen. The only things that are different, she said, are extra menu screens to show EV powertrain information to the driver.

Ford ready to install GE Wattstations at 60 locations in North America

Thu, Mar 20 2014

Upper-level Ford executives are sending mixed messages about the power of plug-in vehicles, but in the companies parking lots across North America, at least, the signal is clear: come on and charge your EV. Today, Ford and GE announced that the Blue Oval will be installing Wattstation chargers at its Dearborn HQ and will then add units at more than 60 locations across the US and Canada, including "offices, product development campuses and manufacturing facilities." If you're a Ford employee, then you get four hours of free charging a day. That should be plenty to top off any of the company's plug-in vehicles, even the Focus Electric, and the time limit encourages drivers to swap cars at lunch, because Ford wants to encourage charging station sharing and get more employees to plug in. Ford doesn't mention the DOE's Workplace Charging Challenge by name in the release (available below), but we suspect these Wattstations are part of that project. Ford was one of the founding members, joining the Workplace Charging Challenge on January 31, 2013. On that date, the Ford Motor Company and Ford dealers had over 1,750 charging stations installed on company/dealer property. Ford, GE WattStation Chargers Support Employee Electric Vehicle Charging Network Ford to install its first employee electric vehicle charging station network in Dearborn, Mich.; facilities across the United States and Canada to follow Ford will work with GE as its network provider and supplier of electric vehicle charging stations; networked stations will help Ford understand charging usage and plan for future installations Ford electrified vehicles have logged an estimated 65 million electric miles over the last 18 months. Ford now offers six electrified vehicles, including Focus Electric, C-MAX Energi and Fusion Energi plug-in hybrids, and C-MAX and Fusion hybrid vehicles Ford Motor Company in conjunction with GE, will supply vehicle charging stations at Ford facilities nationwide, beginning with facilities in and around its headquarters. The announcement continues the innovative cooperation begun more than 100 years ago between Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, co-founder of GE. This month, Ford will begin installing GE WattStation™ charging stations across its North American campuses, developing a workplace charging network at nearly every Ford facility in the United States and Canada.
