A "now" driver.  If it doesn't start in 10 seconds (cold start, or running temperature), $500 off agreed sell price.

BODY/PAINT: Very solid frame & body (unrestored; "farmer" respectfully kept condition).  That means, didn't push/pull a tractor or push the fence down with it.  Couple scratches, dings, decent paint job years ago with some non-peeling crackle.  Magnet sticks to everything-all areas of both doors, etc, etc.  No accidents.  Doors do not fly open hitting bumps or turning corners at 90MPH (of course kidding about cornering @ 90mph, but not about doors staying closed on all cornering).

MECHANICALS: Yes, truly starts in 10 seconds or less.  NO oil burn smoke *anytime*.  Clutch never slips.  Never runs hot (does have an auxillary electric cooling fan, but I have never had to turn it on even in Florida scorch time of day).  Old tranny is a slow top loader floor shifter, as was expected from new.  Brakes are safe.  Has an electric fuel pump (w/mechanical in place also as just show).  Steering box is smooth original with minimal play ( even new in 1940 it wasn't el perfect tight) & no kinking/rough feels.  Tires are not dry rotted.  Could use a carb rebuild or removal & tightening of lower gasket screws at some point (little seapage on bottom; doesn't effect performance).  No other over-all system leaks as of this writing.  Roll up windows work good.  Cowl vent opens for that 1940 A/C.

ELECTRICS: No shorts.  New battery 4 days ago (old one had 2 bad cells).  All lights work except maybe dash gauge lights.  Oil, charge & added temp gauges work. 

INTERIOR: New (a pinch of upgrade) seat; cardboard surrounds; interior light added (again, pinch of upgrade); mat; glass, etc.

New jeweled/chrome exhaust tips.  All glass seals fairly new.    

OWNERSHIP:  requires a knowledge of market, old vehicle mechanicals, & the ability to decide on unique time capsule ownership worth paying for.  All others NOT need apply.  If you want a hot rodded, or "up graded" modernized rendition-need NOT apply.  For your viewing pleasure, seller, Howard.  Call for a GOOD TIME ANTIQUE TRUCK: 904-881-3495.  You will not be dissappointed (& if you are looking at these type of relics-won't miss the purchase money; you & your heirs won't be dissappointed).  As a great philosopher "Howard" once said: "Time for another time machine". 

*If u want to own it, gotta step up to the plate & home run it".  This is the lowest priced "nice/usable" 1/2 ton on market (believe it or not).  Most of you know, what most are expecting depending on conditon of each truck.  Doesn't matter how long you wait, the price will still be more than mine.  If its restored its $40k.  If its a project drive it next year (maybe).  If its a correctly & nicely done hot rod, its $40k  Make sure the frame is good on others in this period (especially projects; prepare for new frame or cut & paste welding of 2 frames.).  They tended to rust up & over the rear axle big time (collapsable potentials).  Words of wisdom, or just ignore my sloppy ignorance.  My 1940 for sale example has NONE of this frame condition.

A 1946 Chevy 1/2 ton panel delivery six cylinder diamond in the rough just sold for almost $19k.  Yes, running driver with a nostalgic repainted logo & a great video accompanied by a great country song.  Presentation sells.  Sorry, a buyer of my truck will just have to imagine the music, country road & old farm logo.  It is a "flathead" V8, better looking, performance, balance, Ford, & time period pick'm up truck protocol.  I am working on making a driving video w/my new I-phone 5s, but don't hold your breath (I have linked YouTubed video to Ebay listing before, but long time ago).  Buyer: take as long as you want to contemplate ownership.  The truck will not desintegrate for at least  300 more years, give or take 100 years.............................................................   


On Jun-09-14 at 16:13:58 PDT, seller added the following information:

ATTENTION: Any sale, payments, & transport removal must be done BEFORE 6/18/2014. Vacation is on horizen. I may end listing early for that, & other reasons.

Ford Focus Electric gets $6,000 price drop, now starts at $29,995

Mon, Oct 20 2014

In early 2013, the Nissan Leaf shed a massive $6,500 from its $35,200 base price to offer a new starting price of $28,800. Since then, we have seen numerous other plug-in vehicles get smaller price tags, from the Honda Fit EV (lower lease price) to the Chevrolet Volt (around $5,000 lower) to the Mitsubishi i (a $6,130 drop). Last year, Ford lowered the $39,200 price of the Focus Electric by around $4,000, but that hasn't been enough to get the Ford EV to really compete, saleswise, with other plug-in vehicles on the market. But wait, as they say, there's more. This past weekend, Ford lopped another $6,000 from the price of both the 2014 model year Focus EVs currently on dealer lots as well as the redesigned 2015 models that are now rolling out (they're basically the same car, minus some appearance changes). Ford spokesman Aaron Miller confirmed to AutoblogGreen that the Focus EV will now start at $29,995 and said that reducing the price should make the Blue Oval's only pure EV competitive. "We hope by reducing the price we're giving consumers another reason to consider it," he said. Through the end of September 2014, Ford has sold just 1,534 Focus EVs in the US (the model sold 1,335 in the first nine months of 2013). For comparison's sake, the Nissan Leaf starts at $29,010 and sells around 3,000 units a month in the US. Miller notes that the Focus EV has been selling the best on the West Coast, and is also doing well on the East Coast. After that, he said Atlanta and the Great Lakes area also see decent sales of model's admittedly small pie. We can only assume that offering the EV for under $30,000 will make that pie somewhat bigger.

US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.
