1950 Ford F1 Pickup Truck, Nice Solid Body, V8 Flathead on 2040-cars
Acworth, Georgia, United States
1950 Ford F-1 Truck I got this truck from a lady, and it was her great grand fathers truck, and it appears to have been keep inside most of it life because it is so solid. The wood in the bed appears to be the original wood, and it is still in good solid condition. It has the original ford windshield, one vent window, and back glass, but the back glass needs to be replaced because it has a crack in it. The V8 flathead runs great, and doesn't smoke, you just hit the starter, and it fires right up, and the brakes are in working condition. I just changed the oil, oil filter, and spark plugs. It has the rarer 3-speed on the column, you just don't see many 48 to 50 ford trucks with this option most where floor shift. It has a older repaint in the original color, and it still looks good with the normal paint chips here and there. The body is in great solid condition with no rust repair are patch panels, it does have some small beginning places that are in the lower front of both doors, and one small spot in the lower right front fender just below the grill, but these places are small, but did want to point them out, I took pictures of these three small areas. All the fenders where they meet the running boards are solid, and rust free. All the doors, hood, windows, and front air vent work as they should. Everything works except the speed-o-meter, the gauges, heater, lights, and wiper all work. The gas tank, and radiator are clean, and in great condition. The front rims, and spare are the original ford 15" rims, but the rear rims are a later 15", the tires need to be replaced if you are going to drive it on the road, they have some dry rot, and some flat spots from sitting in the garage for the past 7 years. The truck is being sold on a bill of sale only, but I can get a current Georgia tag for it if you need it to get a tag are title in your state. Georgia didn't have titles until 63 so I can't get a title for it. All zero feedback bidders please check with me before bidding are I will have to cancel your bid. I reserve the right to end the auction early. If you have any questions you can email me are call my cell at 404-867-3163 |

Ford cranks up '32 Ford body production
Tue, 14 Jan 2014If you're going to build your own hot rod, you'll want to start with a '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe. Favored by American servicemen returning from World War II, the '32 Ford remains the very icon of the hot rod to this day. The trouble is there were only so many of them made in the first place, and finding one today can be a challenge. That's where reproduction models come in.
The aftermarket is replete with companies that will sell you a fiberglass body in the form of a '32 Ford coupe, but quality can be hit or miss. So to help meet demand among hot rod builders and enthusiasts, Ford has teamed up with United Pacific Industries to offer officially licensed body shells.
Announced at the SEMA show in November, the '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe body is made from stamped steel according to original specifications from original machinery where possible or reproduced machinery built to the same original specifications where necessary. The bodies are ready to accept vintage powertrains or crate motors from the Ford Racing catalog, and join the 9,000 other parts offered in the Ford Component Sales catalog - including similar reproduction bodies available for the 1965-70 Mustang and 1940 Ford Coupe. From there, the proverbial sky's the limit.
Ford recalling nearly 24,000 Focus EV and C-Max models over door chime
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Ford will be voluntarily recalling 23,830 Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid and Energi models equipped with push-button ignition, according to The Detroit News. Why? Because the cars don't make a noise when the driver's door is open, and are therefore in violation of federal regulations. It's not as silly as Honda's badging recall that isn't a recall, but it's close.
Actually, that's not exactly fair. The chime is supposed to come on when the driver's door is open, as it reminds drivers not to leave their cars on or leave key fobs in the car, an easy thing to forget when the cars in question make virtually no noise at idle and do not require keys in ignitions.
The recall, which Ford is conducting voluntarily, covers 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric hatchbacks and 2013 C-Max Hybrid and Energi models. The overwhelming majority, around 22,900 units, were sold in the US, while the remaining 900 units are in Canada. How many of each model are covered in the recall is not immediately clear.
2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
