From Harrison, Maine;

In remarkable preserved condition I am offering a genuine New England Farm Truck.

BODY; This truck has no rust issues. The body has been refreshed with minimal body filler used to

smooth surfaces. All repairs were old restorations and done in metal. Lines are excellent, body is solid, and a fresh coat of paint has been applied. The truck is a 10 footer.

INTERIOR. The dash, doors, and gauges are in original condition with no restoration being done. Floors had an older patch job at some point and are solid. Headliner is circa 1958 and appears old

but serviceable. I did recover the original seat. The truck does have an excellent aftermarket heater.

BED; This Ford F1 has the deluxe metal bed that was inserted over the wood bed. Both are in good condition.

UNDER CARRIAGE. The frame and under carriage are clean. Only surface rust appears in some spots on the axle and springs. At some point the truck had a very serious re-conditioning of the entire frame and rear bed. It is still in very good shape.

ENGINE. The deluxe model in 1946 offered the Ford Flathead V8-29A compression 6.4:1 power 100 hp. This has a single carb. The motor runs flawlessly. Exterior the engine is clean but age appropriate dirt and grim.

TRANSMISSION; Again the Deluxe has the four speed stick tranny with square gears (double clutch). Tranny does not leak and runs flawlessly.

BRAKES; I was told that they were recently redone. I have driven the truck (about 400 miles) with no issues.

EXHAUST; There is a new exhaust installed. It is a dual pipe system that sounds excellent.

OVERVIEW; This truck came from a well maintained home. It has had an older restoration which seemed oriented towards protecting the originality of the vehicle. I purchased it in presentable shape and have done preservation work to the truck to insure it's longevity. This is a wonderful example of the post war era vehicles that graced America's farmlands. This is a no issues parade ready truck that has immediate equity and drivability.

VALUE; HAGERTY, KELLEY, NADA, have a high book value of $42,000.00. Average book value is $17,900.00. This truck is in Very Good Condition and should be worth in the mid-twenties. I preserve and flip vehicles (30 years) so my reserve reflects a desire to find this truck a good home. Bid with confidence. This is a gem.

Ford sells 7-millionth Explorer in America

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Say what you will about the evolution of the Ford Explorer, from roofed Ranger to body-on-frame sport utility vehicle to unibody crossover - the bottom line is that it's been a tremendously successful model for Ford. In fact, the Blue Oval automaker has sold seven million Explorer models in the United States alone.
The milestone, marked nearly a quarter-century after the introduction of the original in 1990, comes on the eve of the introduction of a new Explorer at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. We don't yet know how the new Explorer will shape up, but we're mere days away from finding out.
Now heading into its sixth generation, the Explorer has formed the basis of Ford's utility lineup for over two decades. The Explorer landed on the market right around the time that the Bronco was trailing off, predating the company's expansion into larger SUVs like the Expedition and Excursion and crossovers like the Escape, Edge and Flex.

Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
