Up for auction is a RARE, 1945 Ford F-1  pick up .I read there was less than 20,000 of these made due to the war efforts.This was someones old hotrod at one time. Truck is an original shortbed. Has been stored for many years and engine has developed what appears to be condensation or moisture in the cylinders and is stuck. I pulled the plugs and currently have it soaking and do believe it will free up with some tinkering .Engine is complete and oil looks good.It is a later model Ford 8ba flathead (more horsepower). No battery. Starter and radiator are present and look usable.Truck will need some body work in various areas. Roof will need some repair but should be a rather easy fix for someone who is familiar with body work. Front fender and nose section have denting but are very repairable. Bed will need some repair. Has some rust spots here and there.Doors open and close but the locks will need some tinkering as they sometimes hang up or don't catch. Windows roll up and down fine but glass on both doors is cracked. Windshield and back glass look good. Has a later ford standard transmission and a later rear end. Driveline is there and connected. Has nice chrome grille bars and headlight trim. Hood top and side trim is in nice condition. Gauge cluster looks to have been restored at one time and is in pretty nice shape. Truck has a really nice tailgate. Running boards are original and look solid. The bed floor is just plywood and will need replaced. Has original juice brakes on the front and later hydraulic ones on the back due to the later rearend. Master cylinder does move freely but no fluid is present. Clutch seems ok. This would make a FANTASTIC project for someone as most everything is there. I don't think it will take much to get this truck back on the road. It is sold As-is. If it does not sell, I will get it running and sell as a driver. I can store for 30 days if paid in full. Can deliver to Scottsdale,Arizona  Goodguys on the weekend of March 9th if that helps . If paid by check ,I will need to hold the check for a minimum of 10 working days .Thank you


I will give the buyer the option to purchase a very nice 46-47 ford bare replacement cab for an additional 400 dollars (If you don't want to fool around with body work and would rather swap out the cab). 

We typically try to answer emails within 48 hours on monday through friday excluding holidays,vacation and weekends.

Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.

Jay Leno takes a Surfin' Safari in a 1937 Ford Woodie Restomod

Tue, 21 Oct 2014

Woodie wagons were a major part of surfing culture in the 1960s, offering coastal style and a ton of room, and they even earned a mention in the Beach Boys' classic song Surfin' Safari. This week, Jay Leno's Garage takes a look at two modern, restomodded examples of these style icons.
Unlike a lot of restomods, builder Scott Bonowski keeps these wagons looking almost completely stock on the outside, and all of the upgrades are hidden underneath the timber. You can't tell by looking at it, but the '37 Woodie (pictured above) has independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes and a Ford 5.0-liter V8 under the hood.
Beyond the mechanical aspect, the craftsmanship into the wood is astounding. Bonowski claims there are between 30 and 50 coats of varnish on this wagon. It makes these woodies as much of a piece of fine furniture as a vehicle to drive.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
