1950 Ford F-1 Pickup Truck Hot Rod Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Massillon, Ohio, United States

1950 Ford F-1 Pickup with Clear Title. This Truck was customized some years ago. The restoration or resto-modification was started and about half way complete, when the owner passed away. The truck sat is storage for years and was recently completed. The Modifications consist of a modern V-8 Chevrolet Engine. The Engine is a 1960's model Chevrolet 283. It was refreshed with new internals, including Oil Pump and Timing Set and Seals and Gaskets. This is a low mileage engine and the Bore and Bearings were good, so it was not Bored or Turned. Everything inside is standard. The 283 has a Holley Manifold, Holley Valve Covers and Holley 4 Barrel Carburetor. The Engine also got an Accel Electronic Distributor and new Wires. The truck got a 5 Speed Manual Transmission from a 1990 Chevrolet Pickup. I believe this transmission is called an NV-3500. This gives the truck 5 gears and a Hydraulic Clutch. Along with the Transmission, the truck got a new Flywheel, Clutch and Throwout Bearing. A new Driveshaft was fabricated by a local Driveshaft and clutch shop. This was a little expensive, but so much better than hacking a couple of old driveshafts together. The Truck already had a later model Ford Differential, giving it a more street friendly set of gears. The Truck was changed over to 12 Volts and got a GM 1 Wire 90 Amp Alternator. There are also lots of other new parts including Starter and Fuel Pump. There is much more. The Truck now has Power Brakes with Discs in the front. Everything in the brake System was replaced, including Master Cylinder, Rear Wheel Cylinders, Shoes, Lines, Hoses and more. The Truck has Headers and Dual Exhaust that turns down near the center of the Bed. The Frame is very solid and is painted Black. The Body is solid with a little rust, here and there. The Cab has all new Glass and Window Seals. All of the Door Windows open and close properly. The Seat is a Vintage Ford Truck Seat that looks good with the Truck color. It was recovered some time in the 1960s or 1970s, but still looks good. The Seat is not perfect. It has some wear and tear from the years, but is just too cool to recover. The Truck has an Oldsmobile Tilt Steering Column and the High, Low Beam Lights, Turn Signals and Emergency Flashers all work through the Stock Column controls. The Gauges all work. The Fuel Gauge works properly. The Oil Pressure and Temperature Gauges seem to work backwards. I believe this to be because the truck was originally positive ground, but that is just a guess! The Speedometer was replaced with a tach. There is a power port installed on the dash. This is a good place to insert a power cord for your GPS. The GPS will give you an accurate speed reading. The truck also got a new Headliner and various other new parts from Dennis Carpenter. The Doors open and close well. I am posting pictures of the Cab Corners and Door Bottoms to show their condition. The Front Fenders are Fiberglass. The Hood, Grill and Center Section are Steel. There is a sheet of Steel, welded in the Bed. The Tail Gate is original and in good condition. The Tail Gate does need one Hinge to work properly. There is no Rear Bumper. The Wheels and Tires have only a few hundred miles on them. The Wheels are Chrome Reverse with Baby Moon Hub Caps and in good condition, not mint condition. They are all 15s, but the front Wheels and Tires are smaller than the backs. This gives the truck a lower look, in the front. The Truck has an attractive look with nice artwork on the door and a nice Patina effect. It is not a show truck, but a fun cruiser that gets plenty of attention. I tried to describe the truck well. I am sure I left out some things. I will try to answer any questions through email. I may be able to assist with delivery within a few hundred miles of Canton, Ohio. This Truck is being listed with a low start price and no reserve. It will sell to the highest bidder. Please look closely at the pictures. They are part of the listing.

Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction
Mon, 29 Jul 2013The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit can haul on the track
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Line up any two comparable vehicles, and eople are going to want to race them. Need proof? In its latest track battle, Auto Express wants to know which commercial vehicle can lap a circuit faster - a Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Let's face it, neither of these European vans were ever meant to be near the track unless they are delivering a racecar and a ton of parts for a fun weekend, but it's massively fun to watch them give it a go anyway.
The one thing that Auto Express really illustrates here is the modern marvel that is stability control. The driver hops curves, and these big vans lean in the corners like your friend walking home from a long night at the bar. However, because of the amazing stability systems, the vans mostly keep all of their wheels planted and never seem close to getting sloppy, despite their behemoth size.
Unfortunately, the two vans aren't exactly fairly paired. The Ford has a dual rear axle and a few other advantages over the Mercedes, but it's still hilarious to watch them go. Even better, the host breaks down everything happening behind the wheel like these commercial vehicles were two Porsches. Enjoy watching this very unorthodox battle between Ford and Mercedes.
How new car shortages may impact your buying experience
Wed, 04 Sep 2013If you want further proof that the auto industry is bouncing back, look no further than the empty lots and forecourts of your local dealership. According to a story by The Wall Street Journal, continued high demand for mainstream cars is overtaxing automakers' ability to produce enough models. Several dealers interviewed for the story are reporting two-week supplies as opposed to the typical two-month allocations.
With sales expected to hit 1.4 million units when August numbers arrive shortly and incentive spending down to its lowest amount since January, these limited supplies are pushing prices even higher. For example, according to the WSJ, the average price of a Ford Fusion is up past $26,000. Unfortunately, it's difficult for manufacturers to increase production quickly. If it invests in its facilities, as many manufacturers have done, it risks wasting cash if growth suddenly slows. At the same time, the momentum gained over the past several years could be short lived if vehicle supplies continue to dwindle. "Manufacturers are in a precarious situation," notes Karl Brauer, a senior director at Kelley Blue Book.
Low interest rates and a wealth of desirable features are also allowing customers to purchase more expensive vehicles while justifying their higher overall price tags, a situation that is compounding supply shortages. Even now, during the annual end-of-summer clearance season, deals on new vehicles are remarkably difficult to come by. According to the report, the Toyota Corolla is in a self-inflicted state of shortage, as Toyota clears out inventory in anticipation of the new 2014 generation arriving in dealers. Ford's supplies should rebound as Fusion production comes on line at its Flat Rock, Michigan factory. The Chevrolet Impala, Honda Odyssey, Civic, and Accord and Subaru Forester are also facing shortages.
