1953 Ford F-250 Marmon Herrington 4 Wheel Drive Truck on 2040-cars
Cody, Wyoming, United States
|
1953 marmon. the chassis (rear end, transfer case, transmission, engine, frame, front end, etc) are all 100% original to the truck. this was purchased on the pine ridge indian reservation in the early 80's. this has an almost perfect 1954 body with the original grille from a 53. the body is close to perfect. it had a rust out spot between the driver's door and fender. this was professionally repaired. here are the problems: the right front axle was broken. I had a machine shop fabricate a stub and it is currently installed to make a perfectly drivable truck. it needs a windshield and side window. it also needs a steering column. (I have located one out a 53 f-250 in cody that I will get if needed). this has all the body work done and is close to being able to paint. I have the original wheels that go with it. I also have the spare. this makes a total of 5 original wheels that go with it. it also has the original rear wheel spacers that are almost impossible to find. these are split rim. the engine is the original 53 flathead that was in it. the block was boiled and checked for cracks. the crankshaft was ground 10 under and have new pistons. the motor will have to be honed, otherwise all the engine parts, including a couple of carbs are all included. also have a new gasket kit and bearings for the engine. the frame is in excellent condition. the body had about 63,000 miles on it when it was purchased in eastern south Dakota and the original marmon had under 17,000 miles when the axle was broken (not a misprint) I have all the trim, inside and outside and the original marmon 4 wheel drive metal plaque that goes on the dash. TO ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS THAT I GOT: I had a question as to why I did not have more photos, the reason is I have two big block engines in front, as well a 1935 dodge truck and two motorcycles, as well as a barber chair, etc, stuffed into my garage. those of you who are married can now see the problem. I will be more than happy to move anything that needs to be moved to take photos of any area that is requested. it has the original spare tire carrier. the front of the box that is usually mashed is perfect, again, it may have been a mistake to put a 54 body on a 53 truck, but the body was close to perfect. actually the 53 body had almost no dents, but had more rust that I did not wanted to deal with. I have the door handles. the bench seat is in very good condition structurally, but needs a new cover put on it. the floor pans had absolutely no rust on them. yes, all of the split rim wheels are original to the truck. the brakes are all new, as well as the master cylinder. the wheel cylinders have also had kits put in them. if a steering column is needed, I have access to one and it will be at no additional cost. the entire body and box were removed, the frame was cleaned and painted and put new cab mounts kits in it when it was put back together. I also have the original paint codes for the wheels, body, and grille. the body was Sheridan Blue. thanks and please feel free to ask any additional questions. the bed is close to perfect and does not have all the rust and dents that most of these have. the main reason I bought this body, is that the bed was close to perfect. I have made a pine bed for it, but oak was original and probably should be made of oak. it needs completely rewired. all the gauges are there, including the original speedometer with the correct mileage showing. it kinds of pains me to sell this, but I am in the process od restoring 2 other cars and 2 motorcycles and something has to give. please feel free to e-mail or call at 307-899-0776 with any questions, thanks. I will add revisions to this listing as questions are asked. this has a clean south Dakota title and can be inspected at any time in cody, Wyoming. additional photos of specific areas will be provided. call and I will send additional photos, as this site does not allow use of the dreaded e-word, thanks. whoops, forgot to respond to the other question: these are actually f-250 running boards, not the 1/2 ton ones that are normally added onto. |

Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron
Tue, Jan 3 2017Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

Ford auctioning off F-35-themed 2015 Mustang for charity
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Ford's been a supporter of EAA AirVenture, a huge, annual air show held in Oshkosh, WI, for several years now, with one of its most notable contributions being a modified Ford Mustang, designed to look like one of America's great fighting aircraft. There was an SR-71 Mustang, based on the legendary spy plane, a Red Tails edition, which honored the ground-breaking Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, as well as Blue Angels and Thunderbird Mustangs, based on America's two great military aerial demonstration teams.
Each car is auctioned off, with all proceeds going to the EAA Young Eagles program, which introduces kids to the joy of flight. For the 2014 AirVenture, which runs from July 28 to August 3, the one-off pony car is based on the new-for-2015 Mustang, and America's latest fighting aircraft - the controversial F-35 Lightning II.
The unique Mustang sports titanium paint scheme, with both glossy and matte sections, as well as yellow-and-blue trim and decal elements inspired by CF-1, the first F-35 test plane. A carbon-fiber front splitter and rear diffuser add some visual eye candy, while the interior boasts a set of Recaro seats. Ford also opted to fit unique wheels and a brawnier rear spoiler, to tie everything together.
