1948 Ford F1 Original Truck Old Antique Project Flathead Running Condition on 2040-cars
Bartlesville, Oklahoma, United States
This truck belongs to my father in-law who has had it for over 10 years. He does not have the time or mechanical ability to restore it or to even use or enjoy it, in it's present condition. The truck was bought from a rural pastor in Nebraska who had many years ago used it on a postal route. The truck is to the best our knowledge completely orignal. I would describe this truck as being in a very pure condition. We don't believe that It has not been changed, adapted or upgraded in the last 66 years. It has been most definitely painted with a brush 30-50?? years ago. This has probably helped to keep the body with very little rust. It has been driven over the 10-12 years, but very little. If you wanted to drive it without a restoration it would take very little work. BUT most of it's vital organs has received little attention for a lot of years. The tires will hold air but are in poor condition. The brakes I'm sure could use some TLC. I do want you to know that the "WORST" about the truck is its lack of attention many many years. This may also be the "BEST" about the truck.It would be rare to find many others this age that are as original and un-tampered as this one. My opinion is: the truck has very little rust. In places like the floorboard, the undersides of doors, the firewall and bed, the truck is showing almost no rust other than some surface rust and is all very solid. the truck appears to be "all there" We are posting a lot of pictures that should show its condition. Feel free to contact us if you need any additional pics or information. We have a reliable shipping contact that will ship anywhere in the lower 48 for approx. $1.00 per mile (one way) some areas are less and some are more. Call anytime Steve 918-804-2434 |

New Ford dedicated hybrid due in 2018, will it fare better than C-Max?
Fri, Aug 22 2014Everyone likes to go after the champ. When it comes to fuel economy, that means taking on the Prius, which is something that automakers not named Toyota have been trying to do for years. Just because no one has been able to beat the Prius for fuel economy numbers isn't stopping them from trying. Hyundai was just caught with a potential Prius-fighter and now we have news that Ford is joining the party. Well, is going to join again. The last time Ford said it was going to challenge the Prius, it didn't go quite as planned. The C-Max hybrid was heavily hyped as a Prius-beater and was originally rated at 47 miles per gallon. Of course, it later needed to be recalculated to just 40 mpg and sales tanked. So, it's back to the Blue Oval drawing board, according to Automotive News, which is reporting that Ford is readying a brand new gas-electric hybrid due in 2018 as a 2019 model year vehicle. A plug-in version is in the works, too, and the car will reportedly share a platform with the upcoming next-gen Focus and Escape models. About those C-Max sales. They have not been stellar for the C-Max hybrid, which started strong but suffered when the reality of the lower fuel economy was realized. So far in 2014 (through the end of July), Ford has sold 11,685 gas-electric models and another 4,759 plug-in Energi versions. The trend for the standard C-Max is downward (from 20,125 during the same time frame in 2013) and upward for the plug-in version (2,915 in the first seven months of 2013).
GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
Ford looks back on 50 years of the Mustang in Detroit
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.
