Up for auction today is a 1949 F-1 pickup truck that was restored in 2001. This truck was not restored to original condition. It was updated to a 1967 Buick 430 cubic inch engine by Kenny Bell Racing, along with a Mustang 2 front end with disc brakes. The transmission is a 400 GM with a 2800 stall converter and a 9 inch Ford rear axle. The work was done by professionals and I have some receipts. The total cost of the restoration was $20,000 in 2001 value of money.
This truck was driven for 6 years and was put in the barn. We have now removed the truck from the barn and the condition is as follows:
It needs the paint stripped because it is cracked and peeling, I am told the primer has failed.
The tires are cracked and weathered and will need replaced. No, you cannot drive this home with existing tires!! I have not put new tires on it because they may not be the rims that the new buyer wants to use. If you decide to drive it home after putting 15 inch tires on it, it will make it without a problem.
The truck starts, drives forward, drives backward, it stops, has turn signals, no seat belts, no radio, but is just a cool truck.
I have decided not to do the restoration because it may not be what a new owner would want, ie; paint color, size of wheels, width of tires, upholstery, etc.
This truck is a solid base with the hard work done(except for paint). You can make it as you would like it, rat rod, low rider, with satin black and moonies or high gloss two tone paint or old school. It is up to you. The base is there.
The condition of the body is as follows:
There is some rust starting at the bottom of the door pillar where it was previously repaired.
There is some repair around the hood's front edge.
The paint has cracked and peeled from the cab and the bed.
The bed's wood floor has one piece that has deteriorated and needs replaced.
The pictures show the problem areas.
If you need additional pictures, let me know.
Ford motor company only made this body style for 3 years. Then they went to the F-100. You can drive this truck with new tires on it and not do anything. These trucks are getting more rare to find, especially in this condition. The standard verbage here on eBay is, "I have too many projects and this one has got to go" and it is true in my case. Watch for future auctions as I will list other projects that I will never get to .
I will not ship this vehicle. However, I will help load and assist a transporter. Your best bet is to contact Uship.com or a broker and the preferred way is to come and get it. We are located in Charlotte, MI approximately 20 miles South of Lansing, just off Interstate 69.
Payment of $500.00 earnest money deposit from the winning bidder, which is NON-REFUNDABLE, within 24 hours of the close of the auction via Paypal, cash or wire transfer. The balance must be paid by cash, cashiers check or personal check, however, all funds must clear my bank before the title is delivered and the vehicle leaves my property.
I reserve the right to cancel the auction early because I have this truck listed elsewhere and is for sale locally.
Now that all the legal requirements are met, I will add that in my view, this is a nice truck. It is going to take some work to restore to showroom condition, but I am not ashamed to drive it in its present condition. In fact, I got thumbs up driving it from the barn to the shop. People are stopping to look at it every day that it has been outside.
Good luck bidding!!

Winnebago re-introduces classic Brave RV [w/video]
Fri, Jun 6 2014Winnebago is saying 'Let's do the time warp again,' using its new Brave RV to do it – have a look at the first Winnebago RV from 1966 and you'll know exactly where this one comes from. The modern version of this swinging sixties motorhome is accurate from its size, either 26- or 27-foot version, to its trademark eyebrow above the front windshield. The foldaway bunk above the front seats that necessitated the eyebrow design has been updated, and is now a power bed that descends from the ceiling. It is among a set of standard features that also includes a 19-foot motorized awning, leveling jacks at all four corners, heated mirrors, LED ceiling lights, two available floorplans and detailing like a workstation for the front passenger, a sliding dash cluster and and a waterfall countertop in the kitchen with built-in extensions. The Brave sits on a Ford F53 chassis complete with its Triton V10 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. No word yet on any potential diesel alternatives. Naturally, that 1966 price of $4,000 will also come in for an update, but the company hasn't yet revealed it. The good folks from Winnebago will be happy to take you on a thorough personal tour of the Brave in the video below. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford Shelby GT350R, GT successor, F-150 Raptor and more rumored for Detroit debut
Mon, Dec 1 2014According to a pair of reports from Hearst's car mags, Car and Driver and Road & Track, Ford has a whole mess of good stuff on deck for the Detroit Auto Show in January. And it all sounds awesome. First, expect to see a hotter version of the Shelby GT350 in Detroit, likely called GT350R. Think of this as the already-hot Shelby with even more track-focused bits baked in – brakes, tires, aero, etc. Everything about the GT350 sounds great, so expect this R variant to be something seriously fierce. As R&T suggests, if the GT350 is the company's new Boss 302, the R is the Laguna Seca. But that's not even close to the biggest news. Road & Track believes a proper Ford GT replacement will debut in Detroit – a road-going version of the Le Mans GTE-class car the Blue Oval is working on for 2016. We've heard about this before, but having the street-legal car debut in Detroit would be absolutely huge news. The performance story continues, though, with R&T suggesting that the next-gen Ford F-150 Raptor will bow in Detroit. Details are scarce about what, exactly, the aluminum-bodied desert stormer will hold, but we expect good things. Finally, Ford's hot hatches might make some news in the Motor City, too. Car and Driver seems to think the all-wheel-drive Focus RS will bow in The D, and that an updated version of the Fiesta ST will also show its face. Road & Track, meanwhile, believes the Focus RS showing will be saved for a European auto show – think Geneva – and our gut feeling is to agree with the R&T theory. All of these rumors point to Ford officially announcing its dedicated performance division – like Mercedes-AMG, BMW M, and so on. We've heard reports of a new, global performance brand from the company already, with the name 999 thrown out as a possibility. In any case, if these rumblings prove to be true, there's going to be a ton to drool over from Ford in January. Stay tuned.
'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
