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

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
