Original California, Black Plate Un-restored 1947 Ford Pickup 1/2 Ton Truck on 2040-cars
Year:1947
Mileage:32443
Location:
San Jose, California, United States
|
Solid, unrestored, original California black plate truck with flat head V8 and with current
registration, clear title and "truckload" of spare parts. This is a rare driver which has been in constant use and care all its life, not a barn find or a restored one. Ideal for someone to just enjoy driving while planning a restoration, or restore to whatever level you want. No need to remove and replace many non-original parts those trucks typically have. Rebuilt transmission and a new clutch in the last 5 years,
engine rebuilt earlier, starts ok after a few cranks and runs smoothly without
smoking. Good dual exhaust. Literally a truckload of spare parts (see list below) which
you could sell on eBay probably for a few thousand dollars. The original owner died several years ago, the second owner
was a wife of a professional truck mechanic who rebuilt the transmission and a
few other things, I’m the 3rd owner. Paint is faded and oxidized (looks like primer), but most of
the paint could be polished to a shine. It’s just up to a buyer to
retain the current patina, or polish it to a shine (and fix/respray the front right
corner and some other ugly spots), or give a new paint job of any desired
quality (according to NADA guides this is a $40k truck when restored, possibly
more due to its rust free originality). Front right fender got a dent about 3
inch diameter and half inch deep, which someone years ago patched up with bondo
and gray paint spray all around it Very solid original steel all around – original floors,
running boards, fenders, bed etc. Rust
hole in the lower back of the cab behind driver (new steel repair patch is easily available, e.g. a pair
for $80 – search ebay for “1938-1947 Ford Pickup Truck USA Made STEEL Rear Cab
Corners PAIR”) and holes in the front corners of the bed. Also some rusted
edges of the front apron and surface rust wherever the paint was rubbed off
from use around the bed. Brake fluid changed Dec 1, 2013. All bleed nipples operate
smoothly, good lining left on shoes.
Brakes are usable but not very strong (not sure how normal it is, that’s
the only old truck I have driven). A brand new master cylinder and wheel
cylinders kit for rebuild are also included just in case. (Also several used
master cylinders and a used set of wheel cylinders are included). Similarly the
steering is quite loose by modern standards and may need improvement (again I’m
not sure what’s “normal” in those trucks). Brand new tires, tubes and balancing on front wheels. Newer
rear tires and tubes with excellent tread and no side cracks/visible
deterioration. Wheels are tires are of
correct sizes. (Two spare wheels with tires included as well). From what I can tell two upgrades which are not original are
modern spin-on oil filter (several new filters
included) and tube shocks (original lever type shocks are included). In the
cabin the seats and some added gauges are also not original. Most things work, doors close and lock (from inside) nicely,
windows roll up and down, wiper works etc, some bulbs may be burnt out. No keys
except for lockable fuel cap (original fuel cap also included). I just lock the
steering wheel with the “Club”. No keys needed to start – just flip a start
switch. The list of spare parts (mostly used) is too long to
itemize, they fill out the truck bed – see one of the photos where the
parts are loaded. Some examples: -
Operator manual -
Brand new, never used set of transmission gears -
3 or 4 used transmissions with shifters -
Used engine parts left from the rebuilt
(crankshaft, set of pistons, rods etc) -
Intake manifold -
Drive shaft -
Rear end (diff, axels etc) -
Multiple half axels -
Steering wheel -
Two road wheels (and a new side mount spare
wheel kit) -
Both doors (rust free), and some front body
parts -
Several window mechanisms, extra windows - Some brand new window seals and rattle eliminating
window glides -
Suspension springs -
Lever type shock absorbers -
Several carburetors -
Starters, generators -
Several water pumps -
Several brake master cylinders (one brand new)
and other brake parts -
A few (3?) sets of hood “noses” with handles which opens the hood -
Air filter, several oil filters -
About 20 old engine oil cans with oil (those are
collector items now with prices starting at $10 and going up depending on
rarity) -
Horn -
Lift jack - Hub caps -
Front wheel spindles -
Other stuff IMPORTANT: I will not load or pack the spare parts, you need
to come and get them or send someone to get/pack them. Price includes all the
spare parts but if you are unable to collect the parts you will not get any
refunds for them. The truck may also be purchased locally so I reserve the
right to end the auction at any time. True mileage unknown, the mileage shown is a recent odometer read out. Thank you for your interest and good luck bidding! |

Ford taps Canada-based Multimatic to build carbon fiber Ford GT
Mon, Feb 16 2015Ford has given Canadian firm Multimatic the nod to build the carbon fiber body on the new GT – The Blue Oval says it has worked with this company for 30 years. The global supplier provides parts and engineering to various automakers, and while based in Markham, Ontario it has 12 plants in Canada, the US, Mexico, England, and China. When announcing the decision at the Canadian International Auto Show, Ford says it chose them "because they have specialized equipment for carbon fiber production and expertise in carbon fiber assembly," and we've heard that the 600-horsepower coupe will be produced in a purpose-built facility at Ford's factory in Markham. Even better than that – for GT purposes and for possible hints at a Le Mans run – the Multimatic Motorsports division can be contracted for engineering and race team management. They currently produce the Boss 302R racecar in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, worked on the FR500C, and their Multimatic Motorsports Lola B2K/40 won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2000. The first models will roll off the line at the end of next year. Production numbers are rumored to be in the low hundreds, with a six-figure price tag around $200,000. They'll go into production in time for some sort of 50th anniversary celebration of the GT40 taking the the top three spots at Le Mans in 1966.

Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake to get limited production run
Mon, Dec 22 2014The upcoming Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang keeps grabbing a horde of headlines thanks in no small part to the pony car's 5.2-liter V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, magnetic dampers and other go-fast goodies. However, as the new contender enters the ring, Shelby American is saying goodbye to the old GT500 and the company's even more powerful Super Snake version with its new Signature Edition model. Limited to a total of 50 conversions on 2007-2014 coupe or convertible GT500s, the Shelby American Signature Edition packages some of buyers' most common choices into a single vehicle with a few extra touches, as well. The heart of it all is a 3.6-liter Kenne Bell supercharger to replace the V8's standard blower and take power up to a claimed 850 horsepower for the latest models. To keep things running at the proper temp, the mill gets an upgraded radiator, heat exchanger and aluminum cooling tanks, too. The rear brakes are also improved to slow this stallion down. In addition to the boosted power, buyers get some extra style. These special Super Snakes are available in all of the colors available on them from Ford, plus a range of shades for the stripe, and the wide body package can also be added as an additional option. The limited version wears 20-inch forged wheels from Weld that are 9.5-inches wide at the front and 10.5-inches at the rear and feature Signature Edition center caps. Inside, there's a commemorative badge with Shelby's signature on the airbag cover and Signature Edition floor mats. Finally, customers get a day training at the track to learn how to control this beast as part of the package. Orders for the Signature Edition are being accepted through January 31, 2015, and the modded model is priced at $44,995.00, which is in addition to the price of the stock GT500. Read below for Shelby American's full announcement of this limited Mustang. SHELBY AMERICAN'S SIGNATURE EDITION GT500 SUPER SNAKE PACKAGES TO HONOR FINAL 2007-2014 MODEL YEAR CARS NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE · Shelby American to offer 50 total Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snakes · Special badging and stripe colors offered for every model year for first time in history · Offer expires January 31, 2015 LAS VEGAS – Dec. 20, 2014 –Shelby American, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc. (CSBI:PK), has unveiled a Signature Edition Super Snake package to honor the end of production for the current generation Ford Shelby GT500.
