1937 Ford 1/2 Ton Pick Up Truck on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
|
This is a mild custom original. Has a 50's Mercury flathead V8 with tri-power. Converted to 12 Volts. Also, has a 1997 S-10 five speed manual transmission which seems to be a perfect fit & easy shifting (& has a new clutch recently). Most else is original & well taken care of by long time owner. New tires have just been put on, with 16's, but bigger size in the back (spare is also new). New electric fuel pump, but a new original type mechanical comes with it also. It has sort of a VW horn (operated via foot button to left of clutch pedalL, but comes with a new ahooga horn. Starts easy & runs smooth. New mufflers make it sound mild hum/roar. Gauges work except for the gas gauge which needs to be calibrated to the new Ford sending unit ( I have the gentleman's name to get this done; otherwise just keep the new poly tank filled). The lights were working but the guy I bought it from said a new switch was needed & one is supplied with purchase. I may tinker to figure it out. The fog lights work on a seperate switch. There is a lighter socket plug in for a supplied handheld fan/heater (maybe defrost back-up). It probably could be mounted for more convenience. Truck is a hoot to drive & scoots for an old school HP. Comes with 7 period hubcaps & 6 beauty rings. Or, you can leave them off (see the driver side picture with all OFF; passenger side all hubcaps & beauty rings on for preferred look comparison; I prefer the hubcap & beauty ring look). Two extra rims & I think two tires. Needed items eventually: minimal rust at driver door back corner & rain catcher/gutter. Couple small bubbles on passenger door & less issue @ rain gutter. The new light installed, as mentioned. All the glass is excellent/new, but the driver's door roll-up glass has a crack. It rolls up/down smoothly & is not going to fall out. Passenger door window winds up/down smooth also. The bed wood looks to be original or replaced @ older restore. It is very solid antique wood/hold down strips. The truck underside/frame is excellent with no rust. The hood sections were just sat on for pictures & not latched tight (usually left off for cool engine seeing). The crank out windshield & air intake cowl port both work easily.
On Feb-05-14 at 12:14:24 PST, seller added the following information: As can be seen, every exhaust part is new. The doors close tight, evenly & snug with no drop in hinges or latches. On Feb-05-14 at 13:15:27 PST, seller added the following information: I meant to put in a picture of the bed wood, but do to limited picture loading on this format, I could not. I can send more pictures to any email or maybe thru ebay. The wood is aged but not rotting or need replacement. On Feb-05-14 at 15:31:31 PST, seller added the following information: Has two gas caps, one regular, one locking (whichever owner prefers). Has temperature gauge radiator cap. The added tach works. Also, a period dash glove box clock (would have to install; came on deluxe model?); could use new glass; I have the address of gentleman that has one & will install the new glass, free or inexpensively). |

2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along
Wed, 24 Sep 2014You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
Toyota, Ford not interested in FCA merger
Mon, Jun 15 2015Sergio Marchionne will preach the benefits of mergers to anyone who'll listen, but his calls for industry consolidation may be falling on deaf ears. At least, that is, the ears of those who the Fiat Chrysler chief would most like to bend. Not only is General Motors uninterested, but according to The Detroit News, neither are Toyota or Ford. "It's something we would not be interested in," said Toyota's North American chief Jim Lentz, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Toyota Technical Center. "At 10 million (vehicles) we have enough scale right now to do what we need to do. There really would be no advantage for us." Toyota isn't the only one unenthused by the prospect of merging with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The Detroit News also reports that Ford, though it may yet to have been approached by Marchionne, wouldn't be interested either. "We're not a suitor for FCA," said Ford CFO Bob Shanks. "We don't see that type of opportunity as one that applies to us." With GM, Toyota, and Ford expressing disinterest in Marchionne's merger idea, the FCA chief will likely start looking elsewhere – or look for other ways to compel his primary candidate to reconsider. He may eventually find a partner – more likely in the Far East or within Europe – but it may not take the form of the major player Sergio has hoped for.

Unrestored 1969 Shelby GT500 one of many classic barn finds going to auction
Wed, 19 Mar 2014We love a good barn find here at Autoblog. We like that there's a palpable excitement and sense of mystery surrounding barn finds. Each case has its own uniqueness to it, and this latest discovery is no different: an unrestored, one-owner 1969 Shelby GT500 with just 8,531 miles on it.
In the case of this particular barn find, many of the typical questions have already been answered. For example, we know who owned it - his name was Larry Brown. He recently passed away, and as he had no wife or children to inherit the estate, the car he purchased at Pennsylvania Ford dealer in May of 1969, will be auctioned off by Ron Gilligan Auctioneers.
The car was fastidiously maintained, having never been driven in the rain. In fact, Brown never even washed it, out of fear of it rusting. According to the auction website, the last time this car saw water was probably when it was detailed ahead of being delivered to Brown. If that doesn't sound like a fanatical sense of maintenance on the part of this GT500's owner, this next part will. The interior has been treated to a similarly painstaking attempt at preservation, with garbage bags covering the seats and two layers of floor mats over the carpets. The result is a car that, aesthetically, is in remarkable shape considering it's spent so long in a barn.
