1950 Ford F1 Kustom Traditional Hot Rod Rat Rod Half Ton Truck on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
|
This is one phenomenal and one of a kind Kustom, built to be a show stopper, head turner and most importantly a reliable driver. The build began as a 1950 F1 Ford truck. The original chassis, body and rear end were used on this build but the rest is as we say at Vintage Gas Kustoms "Old Soul with a New Heart..." The truck has much going for it. The engine was rebuilt a little over a year ago along with the tranny and both have approx 7xxx miles on it. It has been driven from San Jose to Los Angeles, approx. 400 miles each way, about 4 times without a problem. Gets driven all over the place around locally and to Sacramento for shows and meets. This truck is so reliable it can be a daily driver if wanted. It has a powerful 302 V8 for power plant and 3.89 rear end with C4 tranny for its drive train. Has a little bit missing like bottom felts on the window and no wing window levers which can be obtained easily. Needs carpet and seat upholstery but the beautiful Mexican Blanket does a great job. Head liner and kick panels will also be needed but not necessary, if desired. These items too are easy to obtain for less than $200 for a kit. The body is a in great shape as is the paint but does have some little chips and small scratches here and there from driving, taking to shows and handling when needed to be moved from one area in the garage to another. Mechanically it is in EXCELLENT SHAPE and is reliable. There are approx 7xxx miles on build. The truck is definitely a one of a kind vehicle which demands attention and as mentioned before a reliable driver. This vehicle goes everywhere on its own and not on a trailer as most "nice looking" trucks or cars do... (not a trailer queen)... The build was done right. It has participated in many shows, drives and meets. I am not claiming its a show winner because it hasn't gotten entered to any competition shows just yet and its also got lots of character going for it. I'll provide a list of what the truck has and if I miss something I apologize, just ask any questions you might have about the truck as It is being sold as is and no returns or refunds after sale and there is too much to list about the truck itself.

Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.
