1946 Ford pickup. I have a clean Missouri title in my name. The V.I.N. on the title matches the number on the frame and the transmission. You will get a frame that is in good shape, the rear of the frame has some damage to the cross member and the rear frame rails have bit of damage. I don't think it is very serious and could be fixed easily. There is a banjo rear end mounted in the frame, it spins freely. I will include an 8.8 Ford rear end with 3:73 gears and a limited slip that came out of a 96 Explorer with a 5.0. I have two drive shafts, one for the 8.8 and another one that came with the truck. The front axle is a straight axle with drum brakes. The brakes do not work on the front or rear. I have it sitting on four tires that hold air so that it can be rolled around. The cab is in need of work, there are no floors except where the seat should be, there is no seat or interior of any kind. I have braced up the cab and tack welded the doors shut to help keep the cab in shape. It has a dash and instrument panel, though the gauges are in sad shape. The steering column has been removed I will include it but it is not really any good. There is no door glass and the window and door latches are inoperative and may be missing most of the mechanisms. There are no door handles. The right side windshield is there but foggy, the drivers side windshield is missing. Some of the windshield frame is still there. The rear glass is missing. The bed needs a floor and has a lot of dents and dings, the tailgate is there but has no way of making it functional without some fabrication work. The bed will need to be braced and rebuilt. The rear fenders are missing. There are no tail lights. The truck has no wiring or electrical system at all. The front clip has fenders and inner fenders and a grill. They are all dented and are in need of work, it does have headlights I don't know if they are any good though. I have running boards, they are in need of work. This truck needs everything, it is truly a project and it is completely covered with surface rust, I planned to make it a rat rod, but time and funding problems have forced my hand. I have other projects going so it is time to thin the herd. Please keep in mind that this is a disassembled non running vehicle that will need everything to make it roadworthy. There is no engine included but I do have the original transmission with V.I.N. stamped on it that matches the frame, I do not know the condition of the transmission. I have other parts that came with the truck that i will include, some of them may be useful others not so much. This truck will need to be towed. since it is in numerous pieces the buyer will need to come pick it up. I will help you load it, but the buyer is responsible for all shipping charges. Sold as is where is. Feel free to ask any questions, if I haven't covered it here.

I made a mistake in the description, the V.I.N. matches the frame and the transmission only. THERE IS NO ENGINE WITH THIS VEHICLE!!! sorry for any confusion

New Ford dedicated hybrid due in 2018, will it fare better than C-Max?

Fri, Aug 22 2014

Everyone likes to go after the champ. When it comes to fuel economy, that means taking on the Prius, which is something that automakers not named Toyota have been trying to do for years. Just because no one has been able to beat the Prius for fuel economy numbers isn't stopping them from trying. Hyundai was just caught with a potential Prius-fighter and now we have news that Ford is joining the party. Well, is going to join again. The last time Ford said it was going to challenge the Prius, it didn't go quite as planned. The C-Max hybrid was heavily hyped as a Prius-beater and was originally rated at 47 miles per gallon. Of course, it later needed to be recalculated to just 40 mpg and sales tanked. So, it's back to the Blue Oval drawing board, according to Automotive News, which is reporting that Ford is readying a brand new gas-electric hybrid due in 2018 as a 2019 model year vehicle. A plug-in version is in the works, too, and the car will reportedly share a platform with the upcoming next-gen Focus and Escape models. About those C-Max sales. They have not been stellar for the C-Max hybrid, which started strong but suffered when the reality of the lower fuel economy was realized. So far in 2014 (through the end of July), Ford has sold 11,685 gas-electric models and another 4,759 plug-in Energi versions. The trend for the standard C-Max is downward (from 20,125 during the same time frame in 2013) and upward for the plug-in version (2,915 in the first seven months of 2013).

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
