This 1940 Ford Pick Up went through an extensive frame-off restoration by some of best auto-body guys in the business.  The craftsmen who worked on this frame-off build took a personal interest in building this truck the right way - the meticulous way - because this truck was built as their crown jewel, their shop truck, and it was proudly displayed in their showroom to showcase their attention to detail and absolute dedication to craftsmanship. 


They built this truck right - no short cuts - everything done beautifully; from the body, paint and pin striping, to the underside, interior, wood bed, and engine compartment.   Even the doors shut perfectly - super tight - as they should.   It’s stunning inside and out, and even underneathIt was completely dismantled and put back together with every nut and bolt cleaned or replaced, and put back together better than new, and has over $20K in just the man hours of labor alone.


It was prepped to perfection prior to paint - which is Hot Rod matte black with custom flames and hand painted pin striping/detail by one of the very best in the hotrod business.    All this over striking red & black new interior.  


Truck Features:

  • Frame Off, Nut & Bolt Restoration
  • New Interior
  • Steel Body and New Bed with Wood stained Brazilian Roast
  • Flat Head V8 runs beautifully
  • Three Speed on Tree - shifts flawlessly in all gears
  • Dual exhaust gives it that low key throaty sounds
  • Upgraded electrical and sports a new, but classic, digital gauge (with 1200 miles on it since build) and an Ahhhhh-UUUUGA Horn!
  • Lots of extra parts
  • Too much to list, so come over to see yourself and we'll go for a cruise, or send your mechanic to review this beautifully restored classic truck! 
  •  It's in my private collection, registered (comes with bill of sale only, no title) and insured, so I can easily take you for a spin around town!

ps- for those who asked, I acquired this truck when I learned that the

owner/master builder had eye surgery and was retiring from building cars.

I had admired this truck in his showroom for a long while and was honored to

buy it.  I'm only selling it now because I have 3 kids and they all fight over who gets to ride shotgun with me to the ice cream shop.  So, I sold all my two-

seaters, including my 1966 Corvette 427, and decided to only own vintage cars

that can fit all my kids!  


Note: I'll include some pics I have of the build and some spare parts that came

along from the builder.   If for some reason you didn't want the hand-painted

letters on the doors that read, "CUMMING Auto Collision", you can easily have

the letters removed, or even have a local shop re-spay the doors with Hotrod Black

(I have some left-over paint that comes with the truck).  Personally, I love the

shop lettering, but I'm biased because I live in Cumming, GA, and everyone here knows this local shop and how great their work is.  For me, it's kinda like 

'bragging rights' when you drive down the road, or go to a local car show.

Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks

Sun, 25 May 2014

Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.

Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues

Fri, 09 May 2014

Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.
