For your consideration is a beautiful 1949 Ford F1 Pick Up Truck. It is powered by the famous Flathead V8, and a 3 speed on the floor manual transmission, which is believed to be correct for the truck. Don’t be in a hurry when you’re driving this Ford! The attention is attracts is incredible. At any angle, the F1 just looks ‘right’. Quintessential in every aspect! A Throwback to a much simpler time, that all of us would like to go back to!

The odometer shows 52,130 miles. I cannot verify if the mileage is original, or has turned over. Mileage is exempt on the title which is common for the age. But from the condition underneath this truck, I would not be surprised if it was. It has been converted to a 12 volt system and runs on a generator to keep the original look. Headers and dual exhaust were added a few years ago. The truck fires right up with the push button start on the dash. New temperature and pressure gauges were added under the dash as well, which includes two temp gauges, one for each Head. (Flathead guys will appreciate). All gauges are operational and appear to be accurate. A new Radio was installed with a CD player and Ipod AUX imput jack.

This Florida Ford is a fantastic driver. Handles very well for what it is. Rides straight down the road, and fairly easy to drive. Is free of vibrations or rattles. The transmission shifts as it should. Does not grind or get hung up thru the gears. Tires are like new. Mechanically everything works well with no known issues. The paint was done about 10 years ago and still retains a gorgeous shine. The green and black two tone has a great look to it. I have noted in 3 pictures to the imperfections in the paint. It is a very solid truck other than those few spots. A magnet will stick anywhere on the body! Even the cab corners! At some time over 65 years, the steel fenders and running boards were replaced with fiberglass. The grill and bumpers have been painted a cast color as well. The undercarriage appears well preserved. Very clean and straight with no issues of rust, holes, or shoddy patch jobs. There is a small tear in the bench seat a about 2 inches long that is visible in the interior picture.  The bed was completed in a diamond plate finish which compliments the truck nicely. Rather than a wood bed for "show" only, the previous owner opted for this finish so it were functional. He could use it if he and his wife were out shopping, or taking it on a weekend trip. He did not have to worry about scratching up newly finished wood. 

It’s not a frame off rotisserie restored show truck. It is however a turn key, drive immediately, car show trophy winning, attention grabbing, business promoting cruiser that will turn heads and strike up conversations anywhere you go! Whether you need a write off for your business, or need and ice cream runner, this Ford can do it all. This is a tremendous opportunity to obtain a vintage truck less than the cost to build! I am only selling because I am buying a new home. Please email or call me with any other questions. I have additional photos that can be emailed as well.

I encourage & welcome pre purchase inspections. I will work with your inspector, appraiser, mechanic, etc to make you feel comfortable with your purchase. Vehicle is sold AS-IS, NO Warranties Expressed or Implied. I have clean clear title in hand. If you have less than 5 feedback, please email prior to bidding. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. Don't assume anything. This is a legal binding contract. If you are the winning bidder, you are obligated to complete the purchase. You are not bidding on the opportunity to come and look at the vehicle and decide if you want to purchase the item! Also, please have all financing or funds in place prior to bidding. In other words, ask your wife first!! $1,000.00 Deposit due within 24 hours of auction close. Balance due within 7 days of auction close. Vehicle and title will be released when funds have cleared my banking institution.

I urge everyone to take a look at my feedback. Bid with confidence! It was 100% until a few weeks ago, when a malicious ebayer left me negative feedback over a $45.00 die cast model car! Apparently, a windshield wiper was damaged in shipping overseas. I attempted to rectify the situation, but the buyer would not respond or contact me at all, and left me negative feedback!

Located in Daytona Beach, Florida, 32118. Minutes from major route 95 on the northeast coast of Florida. 10 minutes from (DAB)-Daytona Beach International Airport. 70 miles to (MCO)-Orlando or (SFB)-Sanford International Airports. Fly in and Drive it Home!

I will assist with selling worldwide, but payment and arrangements are buyer’s responsibility. I have used several shipping companies in the past, and can recommend shippers to contact, or can be arranged right through ebay and their recommended carriers. Contact Clint at 610-763-8277 for more info.

I do not send second chance offers!

THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION!!  BID TO OWN!!

Ford Fusion demand outstripping supply

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

The attractive new 2013 Ford Fusion has done wonders for the brand in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment - the vehicle is up nearly 22 percent compared to last year. But that sales momentum may soon hold steady due to low inventory levels of the new Fusion across the United States.
According to a report in The Detroit News, citing automotive data and Ward's Auto, Ford currently has a 39-day supply of the Fusion. That might sound fine, but a normally healthy average is about a 60-day supply. If Ford were to stop production on the Fusion today, there would only be enough vehicles available to get through another five weeks of sales, according to the News.
Currently, Ford produces the Fusion at its three-shift assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, and will add production at its facility in Flat Rock, MI later this year. A Ford spokesperson told The Detroit News that when Flat Rock production comes online, the automaker will need to rush new stock out to the regions with the most demand for the Fusion. Ford has doubled its coastal retail market share, with huge amounts of growth in areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, the News reports.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).

Leno talks racing with NASCAR racer Joey Logano

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Jay Leno has to be under significant pressure knowing the appetite his fans have for a new Jay Leno's Garage video every week. This time, Jay takes a break from his usual format (something he's been doing with some frequency as of late) and goes back to his roots as a talk show host. There's no classic in the garage his episode with an interesting story to tell and a sumptuous exhaust note. Instead, the focus is purely on interviewing 23-year-old NASCAR racer Joey Logano about what it's like to be a racecar driver in his Ford Fusion.
Logano started racing at the tender age of six and has risen up the circle-track ranks to the big show of the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The two of them talk about what it's like to compete in the sport today compared to yesteryear, and Logano shares some racing anecdotes. Of course, they also get into what it's like to be on the racetrack controlling a car with about 850 horsepower, a four-speed manual transmission and brakes without any power boost. Scroll down to watch the video.
