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 recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.

Ford confirms 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine for 2014 Fusion

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Earlier this week, reports were swirling 'round the internet about the 2014 Ford Fusion getting a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. That was... half correct. Ford today confirmed that the 2014 Fusion is, in fact, getting a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost mill, but it has four cylinders, not three.
The new 1.5-liter engine will be the fifth EcoBoost powerplant from Ford Motor Company. Initially to be built at the automaker's Craiova, Romania plant, it will also be offered in the Fusion's twin, the Mondeo, in other markets. This engine will debut at the Shanghai Motor Show next month, and the 1.5-liter is of particular importance in the Chinese market - there is significant tax relief in the People's Republic for vehicles powered by engines with a capacity of 1.5 liters or less.
At a media briefing Thursday, Ford declined to divulge exact power or fuel economy numbers, though Joe Bakaj, vice president of powertrain engineering, told Autoblog that power output should be similar to that of the current 1.6-liter inline-four, and that overall efficiency will be "better than the 1.6." Our earlier report stated that the 1.5-liter four will produce 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque - losses of 1 hp and 7 lb-ft versus the 1.6-liter engine. Ford states that the 1.5-liter four will feature many of the same technologies used on the company's 1.0-liter EcoBoost inline-three, including an integrated exhaust manifold that recaptures much of the engine's heat.

Ford gives police chiefs tech to surveil officers in their own cars

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Police officers certainly have a difficult job in keeping the streets safe, but as public employees in positions of authority, there is still a very real need for oversight. To that end, Ford is partnering with a tech company to offer a new system called Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement on its line of Police Interceptor patrol vehicles that could make cops safer, while giving cities a better idea of what its officers are doing.
The system streams live data about cruisers back to the home base to people like the police chief or shift supervisor. That info includes expected things like speed, location and cornering acceleration, but it gets incredibly granular as well, with records of things like if emergency lights are on, or even if an officer is wearing a seatbelt.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement "ought to protect officers as much as it protects the public," said Ford spokesperson Chris Terry to Autoblog. Constantly monitoring patrol cars offers cities a lot of advantages, too. First, it reduces potential liability because a department can prove where each vehicle is at all times. Also, officers know they are being watched and may potentially drive more safely.
