RARE 1940 Panel Delivery 1/2 ton. A clear Kansas title is on it's way with a clear reading original frame stamped Vehicle ID number in the correct place. **The next to last picture is a file photo of "vision completed"; sculptured to it's 1940 showroom moment (WHAT THIS PROJECT IS CAPABLE OF BECOMING, & I think this one for sale was same blue color paint). The last photo is my fun 1940 pick up truck is last picture (seperately listed on Ebay for sale.
Solid metal throughout considering. Some inner original floor & side wood still in place. This truck is worth my Buy Now price even if you are going to just remove & install the body on another Ford chassis or onto a Hot Rod ready chassis. Both doors are solid with crank mechanisms; neither are latching, hinges are solid but need correct pins (no glass other then patterns stored in cargo). Rear doors seem decent.
It does roll & steer. The steering column/wheel is correct for original restore; steering wheel is not. There are no brakes; can be put into gear for transport position lock. Flathead motor is stuck/locked up. Has an ""extra fender"" to replace the much dented right rear fender. Has Mercury rippled/custom bumpers. Rear one installed, front one inside truck cargo area. Gas tank is totally bad; I will include a "fuel cell" with foams (about $200 value) for temporary restore fuel supply or for Hot Rod conversion. Beauty rings included. Call 904-881-3495 for info. As is sale. For sale/trade-cash up/down locally.
On Feb-01-13 at 05:20:53 PST, seller added the following information:
There is one of these (1940) a buyer can get for about the price mine is bid to now. It does not steer, frame is shot, body is falling down around frame/dragging on ground (no floor & not much cross support), no engine, no trans, no inner woods, rear doors shot, etc. Which means: you want this truck I have for sale that has some solidarity to it -BUCK up the moola; pay the price; accept the reality. This truck can be lifted off the frame, repaired/prepped for original or hot rod, and bolted back down to its solid frame or hot rod chassis. It won't crumble in the process. $30,000 + market value when done, whether it is made original or hot rodded. If you plan on waiting for a miracle (your price purchase around $3000), please MOVE ON. This will sell for around my price, or never! The frame without the body is worth $2000. Add the body (or fabricate one?) value & ownership clear title with a factory stamped frame; walla-your purchase price is my Ebay price as you see it. If you find another delivery truck WWII wholy grail project better than this at this price-buy it.

Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again.
