1940 Ford 1/2 Ton Pick Up Truck, Original Except For A 1950 Flathead V8 Motor on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
A "now" driver. If it doesn't start in 10 seconds (cold start, or running temperature), $500 off agreed sell price. BODY/PAINT: Very solid frame & body (unrestored; "farmer" respectfully kept condition). That means, didn't push/pull a tractor or push the fence down with it. Couple scratches, dings, decent paint job years ago with some non-peeling crackle. Magnet sticks to everything-all areas of both doors, etc, etc. No accidents. Doors do not fly open hitting bumps or turning corners at 90MPH (of course kidding about cornering @ 90mph, but not about doors staying closed on all cornering). MECHANICALS: Yes, truly starts in 10 seconds or less. NO oil burn smoke *anytime*. Clutch never slips. Never runs hot (does have an auxillary electric cooling fan, but I have never had to turn it on even in Florida scorch time of day). Old tranny is a slow top loader floor shifter, as was expected from new. Brakes are safe. Has an electric fuel pump (w/mechanical in place also as just show). Steering box is smooth original with minimal play ( even new in 1940 it wasn't el perfect tight) & no kinking/rough feels. Tires are not dry rotted. Could use a carb rebuild or removal & tightening of lower gasket screws at some point (little seapage on bottom; doesn't effect performance). No other over-all system leaks as of this writing. Roll up windows work good. Cowl vent opens for that 1940 A/C. ELECTRICS: No shorts. New battery 4 days ago (old one had 2 bad cells). All lights work except maybe dash gauge lights. Oil, charge & added temp gauges work. INTERIOR: New (a pinch of upgrade) seat; cardboard surrounds; interior light added (again, pinch of upgrade); mat; glass, etc. New jeweled/chrome exhaust tips. All glass seals fairly new. OWNERSHIP: requires a knowledge of market, old vehicle mechanicals, & the ability to decide on unique time capsule ownership worth paying for. All others NOT need apply. If you want a hot rodded, or "up graded" modernized rendition-need NOT apply. For your viewing pleasure, seller, Howard. Call for a GOOD TIME ANTIQUE TRUCK: 904-881-3495. You will not be dissappointed (& if you are looking at these type of relics-won't miss the purchase money; you & your heirs won't be dissappointed). As a great philosopher "Howard" once said: "Time for another time machine". *If u want to own it, gotta step up to the plate & home run it". This is the lowest priced "nice/usable" 1/2 ton on market (believe it or not). Most of you know, what most are expecting depending on conditon of each truck. Doesn't matter how long you wait, the price will still be more than mine. If its restored its $40k. If its a project drive it next year (maybe). If its a correctly & nicely done hot rod, its $40k Make sure the frame is good on others in this period (especially projects; prepare for new frame or cut & paste welding of 2 frames.). They tended to rust up & over the rear axle big time (collapsable potentials). Words of wisdom, or just ignore my sloppy ignorance. My 1940 for sale example has NONE of this frame condition.

Yes, running driver with a nostalgic repainted logo & a great video accompanied by a great country song. Presentation sells. Sorry, a buyer of my truck will just have to imagine the music, country road & old farm logo. It is a "flathead" V8, better looking, performance, balance, Ford, & time period pick'm up truck protocol. I am working on making a driving video w/my new I-phone 5s, but don't hold your breath (I have linked YouTubed video to Ebay listing before, but long time ago). Buyer: take as long as you want to contemplate ownership. The truck will not desintegrate for at least 300 more years, give or take 100 years............................................................. On Jun-09-14 at 16:13:58 PDT, seller added the following information: ATTENTION: Any sale, payments, & transport removal must be done BEFORE 6/18/2014. Vacation is on horizen. I may end listing early for that, & other reasons. |

Need for Speed movie casts Mustang in hero car role
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Dreamworks Studios, Electronic Arts and Ford Motor Company announced today that the Ford Mustang will play the lead hero car role in the upcoming Need for Speed movie, slated to hit theaters next February. Of course, the Mustang didn't audition for the role like we imagine the film's star, Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, might have. Rather, Ford and Dreamworks struck a partnership deal that meant the Mustang could skip the casting couch. The deal will also see the film's universe populated with other Ford products (gratuitously so, we're guessing), and the automaker will also help the studio promote the video-game-turned-movie next year.
The hero car in question is a special one-off Mustang created by Ford that is making its debut at the E3 video game trade show as we speak. Powered by a supercharged V8 and apparently based on the Shelby GT500, the car's been modified with a widebody kit, 22-inch wheels, larger air intakes and twin hood nostrils. Ford also provided the film's production with an F-450 truck that will be called "The Beast" in the film's story, and a second Mustang to be used during filming as a camera car.
The Mustang's movie career is really taking off, with news of its Need For Speed casting closely following last week's release of the trailer for Getaway, a movie coming out in August that stars Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and another Shelby GT500. In addition to Aaron Paul and a modified Mustang, the Need For Speed movie also stars Michael Keaton (cop, we're guessing) and Dominic Cooper (villain, we're guessing), and is directed by Scott Waugh, who directed the Navy SEAL film Act of Valor in 2012.
Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans
Tue, Nov 24 2015Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.
U.S. auto sales fall in July, as Detroit dials back on inventory, rental sales
Tue, Aug 1 2017DETROIT — U.S. carmakers said on Tuesday they continued to slash low-margin sales to daily rental fleets in July as General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles struggled to curb a slide in retail sales. July is on track to be the fifth straight month in which the annual pace of car and light truck sales declined from the same month a year ago, in part because of fewer fleet sales, analysts and industry executives said. July 2016 sales hit a strong 17.9-million-vehicle pace. GM said the seasonally adjusted annual sales rate fell to an estimated 16.9 million vehicles in July. At midmorning on Tuesday, GM shares were down 3.4 percent at $34.77, Ford was down 2.8 percent at $10.91, and Fiat Chrysler shares were down 0.3 percent at $12.05 in New York. GM sales dropped 15 percent from a year ago to 226,107 vehicles, as the company cut rental fleet sales more than 80 percent. The automaker said inventories of unsold vehicles at month's end were 104 days, down from 105 days at the end of June. GM has promised investors to reduce inventories to 70 days by year-end. Ford said its July sales dipped 7.5 percent to 200,212 vehicles, as it cut fleet sales more than 26 percent. Inventories fell to 77 days from 79 the previous month. Fiat Chrysler said sales dropped 10 percent to 161,477, as it also cut back sales to daily rental fleets. Among the top Japanese companies, only Toyota reported a year-to-year gain, with sales up 4 percent to 222,057 — just 4,000 units behind GM. Honda sales were down 1 percent to 150,980 — its first-quarter sales continuing to decline in North America but seeing a big increase in China. And Nissan sales fell 3 percent to 128,295. GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler have cautioned that second-half financial results likely will be lower than first-half results, in part reflecting production cuts in North America and pricing pressures. The automakers this year have been deliberately dialing back sales to rental-car companies, which often generate little to no profit, while struggling to keep retail sales from sagging further, according to industry analysts. Industry consultant LMC cut its full-year forecast for new vehicle sales to 17 million vehicles. Automakers sold a record 17.55 million vehicles in the United States in 2016.
