Well f1 guys.... I'm am selling a pretty neat 1948 pickup. The truck has been 95% restored approx 7 years ago. Then stored inside until I purchased it in spring. I was very impressed with the overall workmanship, new steel box complete with new tailgate, new fiberglass fenders front and rear. Also new glass running boards as well. Being a Wisconsin truck I was concerned about rust in the cab. To my surprise the owner had the cab replaced with a cab from an old fire truck cab. No rust. The paint is nice, not perfect and not a 15k job, but nice, color sanded and buffed. New wiring harness and a lot of other parts were part of the restoration. Ex. King pins etc. Along with a freshening of the engine,not sure to what degree. Runs well no smoke.

I'm selling this truck...... It's going. I have committed to purchase a 66 vette, this is your chance to purchase this before it goes to the dealer I bought the car from.

The facts. Please understand this is a nice, and neat truck, not junk.... But not ready for a 500 mile tour either. It needs some tlc

The brakes were new seem to work well

Under carriage has been cleaned and painted with a rust conversion product

Overall nice glass and rubber seals

New wire harness, factory style not a universal kit

I drove it numerous times, locally

Once or twice the solenoid on the fire wall stuck. I'm sure from sitting.

Shifts like and old floor shift.

Truck needs

Front bumper

Refinish wood in the box was new when restored, to look new again

Rubber floor mat or carpet if you choose

The letters ford for the nose

A lot of the missing stainless not on the truck goes with, was never reinstalled

Inner door panel gone drivers side.

Probably all new fluids and fuel as well

Wing window frames are rusting through the chrome.

Tires are nice rims showing their age

And the unknown we all know about.

Headliner is sagging, horn button gone"

With very little investment of time or money this truck would run along side any other f1 in the 18-23k range

Truck must go this week .

Ford Fiesta ST GRC Racecar is hungry for podiums in 2013

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

As we reported earlier, the Chicago showing of this plucky Ford Fiesta ST GRC racer points to bigger and brighter days for Global RallyCross. For the upcoming season, you can expect to see Ken Block and Tanner Foust both driving the Ford racecar, and if last season's results are any indication, you can anticipate quite a few podium appearances, as well.
The Fiesta seen here was built by the Swedes at OlsbergsMSE, and will be driven in anger by Foust in 2013. Modifications are, as you'd expect, extensive, and include an engine, exhaust and braking upgrades, a racing style short-throw shifter and a limited-slip differential. As you can see, the car has been fully stripped out and caged for maximum speed and safety, too.
Refresh your memories with the details of the car, in the press releases below. And if you head out to the Chicago Auto Show this year, don't forget to drop by the Ford stand to have a look.

Ford UK exec says EVs are a good way to lose a fortune

Wed, Mar 19 2014

Stateside, Ford execs are quick to point out the automaker's expansion in the plug-in sector. And despite a minimal presence in the pure EV space, the Blue Oval has been promoting its plug-in vehicles as part of an overall effort to boost fleetwide fuel economy. Too bad the company's UK chief didn't get the memo. There's "no point in us getting behind [EVs] and losing a fortune" - Ford's Mark Ovenden Mark Ovenden, speaking rather frankly at the Geneva Motor Show recently, said he didn't have real high hopes for substantial electric-vehicle adoption and said the company's money was better spent on smaller gas- and diesel-powered engines, the UK's Daily Mail says. Ovenden said of EV development that there was "no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune," adding that his goal was to have variants of Ford's EcoBoost engine in 40 percent of the company's vehicles. Ford has about a 15-percent market share in the UK. The UK doesn't appear to be as kind to the EV as the US. Nissan last year cut the price of its all-electric Leaf there last year by about $4,000, while the company rolled out a promotion for the Leaf late last year, including allowing Leaf drivers to borrow a gas- or diesel-powered Nissan for free for as long as two weeks a year during the first three years of Leaf ownership. In the US, Ford sold just 229 Ford Focus Electrics during the first two months of the year after moving 1,738 units in 2013.

Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
