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 underneath. It 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:
Call or Text me for more info: 805-236-0210 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. |

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage
Mon, 17 Mar 2014There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.
Detroit and Silicon Valley: When cultures collide
Fri, May 26 2017Culture is a subject that rarely, if never, gets discussed when traditional auto companies buy — or hugely invest — in Silicon Valley-based companies. The conversation surrounding the investments is usually about how the tech looks appealing and how it's an appropriate step to move the automakers toward autonomy. Culture — the way things are done, the expectations, and the approaches — is something that is overlooked only at one's peril. The potential cultural gap is almost always evident in the obligatory photos of the participants in these deals, with is essentially a photo op of auto execs with their Silicon Valley counterparts. The former — rocking jeans and no ties — look like parochial school kids playing hooky. Don't worry: The regimental outfits will be back in place once they get back in the Eastern time zone. Consider what happened back in 1998 when Daimler bought Chrysler. First of all, there was a denial in Detroit that it happened. It was positioned as a "merger of equals." Which it wasn't. In any corporate situation, when one has more than 50 percent of the business, it owns the whole thing. And the German company was in the proverbial driver's seat. People who were around Auburn Hills back then kept their heads down and their German Made Simple books at hand. Things did not go well. Daimler had had enough by 2007, when it offloaded Chrysler to Cerberus Capital Management — which brought ex-Home Depot CEO Bob Nardelli into the picture, which is a story onto itself. But when you think about the Daimler-Chrysler situation, realize that these were two car companies (at least the Mercedes part of the Daimler organization), so they had that in common, and the language of engineers is something of an Esperanto based on math, so there was that, too. Yet it simply didn't work. It doesn't take too many viewings of HBO's Silicon Valley to know that the business people in that part of the world are far more aggressive than people who ordinarily head and control car companies in Detroit. About 20 years ago, a book came out about the founder of Oracle titled The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison* - and the asterisk on the book jacket leads to: God Doesn't Think He's Larry Ellison. It would be hard to imagine a book about a Detroit executive, even a book that had the decided bias that the tome about Ellison evinces, that would be quite so searing. Sure, there are egos. But they are still perceived to be, overall, "nice" people.
