SELLING A COOL OLD TRUCK, I FOUND IT IN A GARAGE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT IS AN OLD SCHOOL HOT ROD. IT IS A 1950 FORD F1. BUT YEARS AGO SOME ONE INSTALLED A 57 STUDEBAKER 289 V-8. IT IS FAST I DID NOT KNOW STUDES MOVED LIKE THAT. HERE IS WHAT I DID TO THE TRUCK SINCE I HAVE HAD IT. NEW FIBERGLASS FRONT FENDERS, UPPERS AND LOWERS. ALL NEW BRAKES. NEW MASTER CYL, NEW WHEEL CYL, NEW SHOES, AND LINES. IT STOPS JUST FINE. NEW FEUL PUMP. ( I WAS SURPRISED ,NAPA STILL CARRYS PARTS FOR A STUDEBAKER). NEW WINDSHEILD, AND NEW BACK GLASS. HEADLIGHTS WORK BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEAMS, HAS TAIL LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS. THE ONLY THING STOPPING THIS FROM BEING A DAILY DRIVER IS THAT THE GAS TANK NEEDS CLEANED OUT A LITTLE BETTER. IT TENDS TO PLUG UP THE FILTER ABOUT EVERY 10 MILES. THE FLOOR OF THE BED WAS GONE, I JUST HAVE A SHEET OF PLY WOOD IN THERE. THERE ARE A FEW SPOTS IN THE SIDES OF THE BED AND ON THE REAR FENDERS, WHERE I WELDED IN A PATCH OR TWO. LOOKS OK FOR A DAILY DRIVER OR A PARTS RUNNER. BUT NOT SHOW QUALITY. THE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS ARE GONE. THEY WILL NEED PATCHED. I TOOK A CLOSE UP OF THEM. THE CAB CORNERS WERE SOLID, AS WELL AS THE CAB FLOOR. NOT PERFECT BUT SOLID. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL SEAT BUT NEEDS RECOVERED. GUAGES ARE THERE BUT NOT SURE IF THEY WORK. I UNHOOKED THE WIRE THAT FEEDS THEM SO I WOULD NOT BURN THEM UP, WHEN I SWITCHED THE LIGHS AND IGINITION OVER TO 12 VOLTS. DOOR GLASS ON DRIVERA SIDE IS CRACKED (20 BUCKS) AT A GLASS SHOP. THE WINDSHEILD ONLY WAS $50 THE WING WINDOWS ARE CRACKED AS WELL. FRAME IS STILL SOLID MOTOR RUNS , TRANS IS GOOD, REAR END IS GOOD. IF YOU LIVED CLOSE 10 MILES OR LESS YOU COULD DRIVE IT HOME. NEEDS AN EXHAUST. HAS MANIFOLDS AND ABOUT 10" OF PIPE ON EACH SIDE. RUNNING BOARDS ARE HAVE SOME HOLES,BUT ARE STILL STRONG ENOUGH TO STAND ON. HAS A SMALL WATER LEAK AT THE WATER PUMP AND A SMALL OIL LEAK. NOT TO SURE IF THE BATT IS CHARGING. THE VENT ON THE COWL BEHIND THE HOOD IS RUST AROUND THE EDGES. TIRES ARE OLD AND HARD. THEY ARE 15". THERE IS AN OLD PATCH MADE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER ON THE PASS SIDE REAR FENDER, DOWN BY THE RUNNING BOARD. I TOOK A CLOSE UP OF THIS, SINCE IT WAS THERE I LEFT IT ALONE. FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTION, OR COME LOOK AT IT. |

Ford unveils its facelifted Falcon finale with new XR8
Thu, 24 Jul 2014While its days may be numbered, Ford isn't just going to let its Falcon sedan limp out for the Australian market. No, the Blue Oval is releasing a refreshed Falcon for its final years, and it's lead by this, the new XR8. That's right, this dead-car-driving is going to go out on a high note.
Ford's global design DNA dominates the looks of the new Falcon, with a grille reminiscent of the US market Fusion and the European-market Mondeo. The headlights aren't a straight port, and boast their own unique LED running light pattern (at least on the XR8), but the overall look is strikingly similar. Out back, LED taillights highlight the rear of the Faclon. Despite the substantial new fascia, this is still a mid-cycle refresh. That means most of the rest of the Falcon's body panels are carryovers from the current model.
The XR8 model, shown above, arrives with a supercharged V8, allegedly displacing 5.0 liters. Unfortunately, details on the Falcon's mechanicals are in remarkably short supply. Ford has committed to a range of turbocharged four, as well as turbocharged and naturally aspirated six-cylinders, in addition to the V8, although specifics on those mills aren't available.
Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.
Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24
Tue, 01 Oct 2013It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9.
