1947 Ford Pickup Truck Rust Free California Body!! Shop Truck, Hot Rod, on 2040-cars
Ashland, Virginia, United States
Hey there, you’re looking at my 1947 Ford pickup truck. This is a California rust free example VERY RARE!! I found this truck in Utah a couple years ago and that gentleman purchased it out of California and had owned it several years. Looks to be a professional build based on the quality of the way it’s put together. Every nut and bolt has been touched and it has had a complete frame up build. Looks to have been originally completed in 1999 based on the car show stickers in the cab above the passenger windshield. Condition is still very good driver quality and the truck has been driven 10,600 miles since its build. It is NOT PERFECT and does show some wear so be aware of that. It has been well taken care of and drives so nice!!! The body, bed and tailgate are all original!! No glass or aftermarket sheet metal on this one!! Now the goodies … powered by a 289 Ford; motor is tight, no smoke and awesome oil pressure. The truck is backed up with a Hughes performance C-4 automatic transmission and a 9in Ford rear. Its geared for cruising, perhaps a 300 ratio? Cruises the highway speeds without any problems!! Built old school with a set of try Y headers, Smitty glass packs, Coker Classics and a retro tach to boot. Mustang Two front end with power disk brakes and power steering. Original frame, boxed in front. Just a nice old truck that gets thumbs up everywhere you go. It has a stainless fuel cell in back of bed and it does have lap belts and a charging jack under the seat for your phone, GPS etc. If you have any questions please feel free to email me or call, I can send any additional pics at your request. It is for sale locally so I can end this auction if I choose. Happy bidding, you will not be disappointed. My cell is 804-690-6364; ask for Michael, or by email, corvet4us@comcast.net. Winning bidder will be responsible for $1,000.00 deposit and shipping to be arranged by purchaser. Funds to be sent via wire transfer, certified cashier’s check or cash. Vehicle will not be released until funds are cleared. |

Subcompact sales slump, yet again
Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
