1950 FORD F1 V8 FLATHEAD 3 SPEED MANUAL WITH 373 GEAR REAREND. THIS TRUCK WAS RESTORED IN 1997 BY MR. PAGANS , BUT HE SOON PASSED AWAY. IT WAS GIVEN TO HIS SON IN 1997 AND PARKED IN HIS GARAGE. OVER THE LAST 16 YEARS HE PUT 2000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND BASICALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM HIM AND PUT A NEW ALUMINUM 3 CORE RADIATOR ON IT, NEW SPARK PLUGS, WIRES, DISTRIBUTOR PARTS, FUEL PUMP, BATTERY, ALL WHEEL CYLINDERS, SOME BRAKE LINES, BOTH THERMOSTATS , AND ONE MANIFOLD GASKET. THIS IS NOT A SHOW TRUCK THERE ARE SOME FLAWS OM THE 16 YEAR OLD PAINT JOB. THIS TRUCK HARDLY HAS ANY RUST AT ALL. THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT IN THE FRONT FENDERS AND SOME ON BACK FENDER. I DONT THINK ALL TOGETHER THEY ARE AS BIG AS MY HAND. I DROVE THIS TRUCK ALL WEEKEND AND ALL GAUGES FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE SPEEDO DOES NOT WORK , BUT I PLAN ON ADDRESSING THAT ISSUE BUT NO PROMISES. IT TRACKS PERFECT, STOPS GREAT AND STARTS EVERY TIME. IT HAS VACUUM WIPERS THAT WORK BUT ARE WEAK. IT HAS A MODERN CD PLAYER AND SPEAKERS (UNDER SEAT). THE INTERIOR LOOKS GREAT AND WINDOWS ROLL DOWN WITH TWO FINGERS. THEY ARE THAT EASY. THE UNDERNEATH OF THIS TRUCK IS SOLID WITH NO RUST EXCEPT TWO FENDER BRACES THAT EASILY REMOVE AND YOU CAN REPLACE FOR LESS THAN 50 DOLLARS. THE DOORS OPEN PERFECT AND SHUT FLAWLESSLY. ALL THE GLASS IS PERFECT EXCEPT FOR WINDSHIELD THAT WAS CRACKED IN 97 WHEN INSTALLED. THIS IS TRULY A RARE BARN FIND THAT I HAVE DONE ALL THE MECHANICAL WORK AND IT RUNS GREAT. THE TIRES STILL HAVE KNOBBIES ON THE SIDE AND THIS TRUCK CLEANS UP WELL. WHEN MR. PAGANS SON WAS WILLED THIS CAR IN 97 HE WENT AND BOUGHT A CHEAP TENT TYPE NYLON CARPORT THAT THE WIND BLEW INTO THE TRUCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SCRATCHED THE PAINT. THE SON PUT PRIMER OVER SCRATCHES TO ENSURE THEY DID NOT RUST. THE BED WOOD IS A 6 OUT OF A TEN BUT COULD USE SANDING DOWN AND NEW VARNISH. IT HAS TRUE DUAL EXHAUST COMING OUT OF THE REAR.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs
Fri, 25 Apr 2014General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.
Ford celebrates 1 millionth Mustang built at Flat Rock
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Yesterday, the Ford Mustang turned 49 years old, and Ford didn't miss the opportunity to celebrate the one millionth version of the Mustang rolling off the assembly line at the Flat Rock Assembly plant. Production of the Mustang at Flat Rock coincided with the fifth-generation design launching in 2004, and the one millionth car was the car shown above, a 2014 GT convertible painted in Ruby Red.
In total, Ford has sold more than 8.5 million Mustangs since the original car went on sale, but some of the key milestones over the car's nine years at Flat Rock include the Shelby GT-H, Bullitt, Boss 302 and, of course, the 662-horsepower Shelby GT500. Scroll down for a press release celebrating Flat Rock's milestone Mustang.
