Great Running V8 1954 Ford F100, Very Cool Barn Fresh Look! on 2040-cars
|
In this auction offered to you by Rusty Nuts Originals in Greenville, SC is a very nice, very original, very solid 54 F100. The story behind the truck goes...it was a high school shop class project nearly 30 years ago, owner passed away, and had been sitting in the garage for the last 28 years. Having been garage kept for the last 28 years, its in incredible shape. The entire cab and front half of the truck are rust free with one or two small dings. Original cab corners, floor boards, etc.The bed is not original to the truck and is not in the condition of the front half of the truck but is still in good shape. We bought the truck with two beds, a 54 bed and a 48 bed. The bed is a combination of the best of both, 48 bed sides, 54 fenders and tail gate. The bed has some surface pitting but no severe rust. With all that being said, this is an awesome shop or advertising truck or a very good start for a restoration. The truck runs and drives like a top, shifts well, and everything in and on the truck works like a new one, with the exception of the lazy vacuum operated wipers. Its got a set of brand new white stripe tires, new king pins and the rear signal/brake lights are new from LMC. The odometer reads 24,xxx but in South Carolina antique vehicles mileage are exempted on the titles, so we have to assume thats 124k miles. The truck doors are hand painted with a vintage A&W Rootbeer sign and the dash is pinstriped, but we are a full service shop and can accomodate and custom pinstriping or your shops logo, and we also grind whitewalls so these white stripes can be wide whites with a phone call, contact below for details. It is offered with a clear SC title and as with all of our auctions, this vehicle carries no warranty and is represented truthfully to the best of our knowledge. Shipping will be entirely the winning bidders responsibility and a deposit of $1000.00 is due within 24 hours of the close of the auction. This truck is also for sale locally so we reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Should you have any questions about the truck, please ask them prior to bidding via Ebay, direct email at Andy@rustynutsoriginals.com or call the shop at 864-386-6887 and don't forget to check us out on Facebook or just Google Rusty Nuts Originals to visit our website.

NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights
Sat, Aug 15 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.
Quitting Mexico factory helps bring down Ford earnings $200 million in 2016
Thu, Jan 26 2017Ford released its 2016 earnings report this morning, and despite a fourth quarter net loss it proved to be the automaker's second most successful year ever, following record breaking numbers in 2015. Losses for the year come from a number of sources, including accounting changes and a $200 million hit for backing out of the small-car factory in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Despite the loss, come March 9 about 56,000 UAW-represented employees will receive a $9,000 profit-sharing check. That, like most of Ford's other 2016 metrics, is slightly down from the year before, but it's still the second best profit-sharing payment ever. Total net income was $4.6 billion, down $2.8 billion from 2015. Total revenue for 2016 was $151.8 billion, up $2.2 billion. Ford's earnings report lists a global market share of 7.6 percent, down a tenth from 2015. Ford's European and Asia-Pacific markets posted their best and second best pre-tax profits respectively. The South American, Middle East, and African markets all took hits because of unstable economies and other external factors. Ford expects to have another down year in 2017 as it invests in new and emerging markets and focuses more on its mobility projects.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium
Mon, 28 Oct 2013You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.
