From Harrison, Maine;

In remarkable preserved condition I am offering a genuine New England Farm Truck.

BODY; This truck has no rust issues. The body has been refreshed with minimal body filler used to

smooth surfaces. All repairs were old restorations and done in metal. Lines are excellent, body is solid, and a fresh coat of paint has been applied. The truck is a 10 footer.

INTERIOR. The dash, doors, and gauges are in original condition with no restoration being done. Floors had an older patch job at some point and are solid. Headliner is circa 1958 and appears old

but serviceable. I did recover the original seat. The truck does have an excellent aftermarket heater.

BED; This Ford F1 has the deluxe metal bed that was inserted over the wood bed. Both are in good condition.

UNDER CARRIAGE. The frame and under carriage are clean. Only surface rust appears in some spots on the axle and springs. At some point the truck had a very serious re-conditioning of the entire frame and rear bed. It is still in very good shape.

ENGINE. The deluxe model in 1946 offered the Ford Flathead V8-29A compression 6.4:1 power 100 hp. This has a single carb. The motor runs flawlessly. Exterior the engine is clean but age appropriate dirt and grim.

TRANSMISSION; Again the Deluxe has the four speed stick tranny with square gears (double clutch). Tranny does not leak and runs flawlessly.

BRAKES; I was told that they were recently redone. I have driven the truck (about 400 miles) with no issues.

EXHAUST; There is a new exhaust installed. It is a dual pipe system that sounds excellent.

OVERVIEW; This truck came from a well maintained home. It has had an older restoration which seemed oriented towards protecting the originality of the vehicle. I purchased it in presentable shape and have done preservation work to the truck to insure it's longevity. This is a wonderful example of the post war era vehicles that graced America's farmlands. This is a no issues parade ready truck that has immediate equity and drivability.

VALUE; HAGERTY, KELLEY, NADA, have a high book value of $42,000.00. Average book value is $17,900.00. This truck is in Very Good Condition and should be worth in the mid-twenties. I preserve and flip vehicles (30 years) so my reserve reflects a desire to find this truck a good home. Bid with confidence. This is a gem.

Swedish car mag says Ford Mondeo is dangerously, illegally overweight [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Sweden's Teknikens Varld has a reputation for being very persnickety when it comes to auto safety testing, and its latest catch is the Mondeo Titanium Estate 2.0 TDCi 150 bhp S6 MPS (basically a station wagon variant of the Fusion). In addition to the model's mile-long name, it has another problem according to the Swedes, because its weight on the scales does not equal the official numbers for the vehicle. Teknikens Varld claims the wagon is dangerously overweight because it weighs in 4,145 pounds, while Ford officially lists its weight at 3,530 pounds. That 615-pound disparity means that if a family loads it to what they think is the model's gross vehicle weight, it will actually be too heavy, and therefore illegal to drive in Sweden. According to the magazine, when it tried doing this, the rear wheels scraped against the wells, and the estate failed the mag's legendary moose test. However, at 220 pounds over the limit, it passed the test. When reached for comment by Autoblog, Jay Ward, Senior Manager at Ford of Europe Product Communications, explained the reason for the deviation between the official numbers and the magazine's test: "We are aware of this, but this is not an issue that relates specifically to the safety of the Mondeo, but is in fact related to the way in which the cars are tested by the authorities. We provided an Ambiente model for the testing but the car that featured in the magazine test was a Titanium model which has a different weight. We are in discussion with the Swedish Transport Agency to change the framework so the real weight of the Titanium model is reported instead of the Ambiente model which will resolve the issue." Teknikens Varld is well-known for calling out automakers for perceived transgressions. Most recently it leveled criticisms against the all-wheel drive system in the Honda CR-V, and both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Porsche Macan failed its moose test.

Mondeo weighs 279 kg more than Ford claims. With big load (ie family plus luggage) the car therefore becomes illegal to drive.

Ford profiles surprisingly affluent Focus ST buyers

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

It comes as no surprise when Ford says that 32-percent of Focus ST buyers are under 35, but we weren't expecting this: the average annual salary of Focus ST buyers is $127,000. Twenty-two percent of non-ST Focus buyers are under 35, while their average annual salary is $67,000.
We like the Focus ST because it has 252 horsepower, is genuinely fun to drive and offers great value for performance-minded car enthusiasts; facts that are not lost on customers, it seems. Ford says that the Focus ST has the highest percentage of conquest sales for a non-hybrid model it sells, and that the top-four trade-ins are from Honda, Chevrolet, Mazda and Toyota. Demand for the hot Focus is strongest in Los Angeles, Detroit, Houston and Orlando.
"[The Focus ST is] having this kind of halo effect for other vehicles we'd hoped for when we invested in the ST brand," says John Felice, vice president of US marketing, sales and service, because it's helping to boost sales of other Ford vehicles.
