War time relic. Project.

The flathead V8 is "stuck/heads off ". Original drive parts. Very solid frame for original restore or Hot Rod conversion. Needs total restoration. Some inner side woods are still good. Part of the wood floor is in place for patterns. The bottom lip of the left rear panel door is bent up, so can be bent back into place/welded. All the doors are very solid otherwise.

Parts included are : headlight rims, beauty rings, extra right rear fender to replace the now on dented one, w/front & rear custom bumpers (rear shown). Also, a fuel cell hot rod bladder gas tank (if wanted).

THIS WILL "NOT" BE RELISTED. A LOCAL TRADE IS PENDING AND THEREFORE NO NEED TO SELL AFTER THIS AUCTION. AN IMMEDIATE PAYMENT IS REQUESTED IF AN EBAY BUYER IS SERIOUS AND MAKES A DECISION, OTHERWISE IT WOULD DELAY THE TRADE. A BUYER "WILL" GET THIS TRUCK; NO WORRIES/30 YEARS IN JACKSONVILLE & I'M NOT LEAVING (& I sit on the honest side of human ideology/ideosynchrocies). This would make a great advertising prop, running or not. Some more sandblasting, paint & logo on sides! No need to be running for that. But, even this old dude could make it a "driver" by spring if I had a designated area to accomplish it. Gas Monkey Garage restaurant prop (no gas smells as it sits). Little bistro table/benches with new hardwood floor for a couple's dining?

This EBAY listing has a technical "glitch" & won't let me lower the dollar amounts. Therefore, THE NEW "BUY IT NOW" AMOUNT IS: BUY IT NOW: $6100. YES, I WILL DEVULGE THE RESERVE: $5,900. NO FURTHER REDUCTIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED. NO ONE BUYS IT?--------- I TRADE FOR LOCAL 1958 BEL AIR 2 DOOR HARDTOP; NO POST; 283CI

My guess is or every ten 1940 Ford 1/2 ton pick up trucks, there is one 1940 Ford 1/2 ton Panel Delivery truck. And, less original. Either hot rodded or original, it is still a rare animal with its own calling card.

Swedish car mag says Ford Mondeo is dangerously, illegally overweight [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Sweden's Teknikens Varld has a reputation for being very persnickety when it comes to auto safety testing, and its latest catch is the Mondeo Titanium Estate 2.0 TDCi 150 bhp S6 MPS (basically a station wagon variant of the Fusion). In addition to the model's mile-long name, it has another problem according to the Swedes, because its weight on the scales does not equal the official numbers for the vehicle. Teknikens Varld claims the wagon is dangerously overweight because it weighs in 4,145 pounds, while Ford officially lists its weight at 3,530 pounds. That 615-pound disparity means that if a family loads it to what they think is the model's gross vehicle weight, it will actually be too heavy, and therefore illegal to drive in Sweden. According to the magazine, when it tried doing this, the rear wheels scraped against the wells, and the estate failed the mag's legendary moose test. However, at 220 pounds over the limit, it passed the test. When reached for comment by Autoblog, Jay Ward, Senior Manager at Ford of Europe Product Communications, explained the reason for the deviation between the official numbers and the magazine's test: "We are aware of this, but this is not an issue that relates specifically to the safety of the Mondeo, but is in fact related to the way in which the cars are tested by the authorities. We provided an Ambiente model for the testing but the car that featured in the magazine test was a Titanium model which has a different weight. We are in discussion with the Swedish Transport Agency to change the framework so the real weight of the Titanium model is reported instead of the Ambiente model which will resolve the issue." Teknikens Varld is well-known for calling out automakers for perceived transgressions. Most recently it leveled criticisms against the all-wheel drive system in the Honda CR-V, and both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Porsche Macan failed its moose test.

Mondeo weighs 279 kg more than Ford claims. With big load (ie family plus luggage) the car therefore becomes illegal to drive.

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!
