1929 Model A Huckster Pickup Truck on 2040-cars
Springville, Indiana, United States
|
For Sale:
1929/1930 Ford Model A Huckster Pickup Truck. This truck is originally from Arizona and has !!NO RUST!! except for the passenger side running board (included in pictures and can be bought pretty cheap from Snyder's or other supply stores). The truck also has two small cracks on the passenger side rear fender which is fairly common as well and can be easily welded up (Also a picture of the cracks provided). Otherwise the truck is extremely solid and has no other body issues. The truck has a clear Indiana title and is titled as a 1930 Ford Pickup and has matching block/frame numbers. The body style is late 1929 and from what I've heard they ran that body into early 30' as well. Everything mechanical runs, drives, stops as it should for being 84/85 years old and runs like a clock. I've taken it out multiple times so far this year and haven't had any issues starting right up the first shot! Leaks in the usual places: a little from the water pump which is notorious and small drops from the trans which is common as well. This is not a restored truck and is just a little jalopy that is fun and reliable to hop in and drive (at very slow speeds at that)!!! (Top speed so far is 46mph downhill). New items: Tires, Battery, Starter, taillight wiring. Will need a few items for consistent daily driving: new headlights (ones on it are burnt out), headlight wiring, some type of top (convertible at the moment), full floor, mirrors, windshield wiper, etc but I'm rather simplistic and have had fun with it the way it is. Taillight/Brake light is wired and works but the light is an early 70's Honda cb350 light wired up just to make it legal for the road (hey use what you have!). The last picture is of the truck with the full top screwed on and what an original Huckster looks like. I have this hanging on my wall for the time being and will of course include it in the sale. I also have the original Huckster diagram/plans that I will include with the sale in case you want to restore all of the wood. This truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early at any time. If you would like to as any questions I will try to answer the best I can, please feel free to give me a call at: 260-235-0906 during reasonable hours and if I don't answer please leave your name/number and I will get back to you as soon as I can. If you live local enough to Southern Indiana (Springville/Bedford) please feel free to give me a call and make some time to stop on by for a test drive!!! Please no tire kickers or lowball offers, this is a very nice little truck that is running and ready to go! Payments will be accepted through Paypal or if you are local, cash in person. I do not need help selling :). Thank You, Mike |

2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.
Ford bondage ads reportedly trigger firings at Indian ad agency
Wed, 27 Mar 2013You will probably remember the ads for the Ford Figo hatchback in India, the ones that showcased the extra large boot of the little hatchback by joking that you can fit three of your enemies in the trunk. One of the ads had Michael Schumacher in the front seat, obviously pleased about having Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso tied up in the back. But the other two had Paris Hilton and ex-Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi up front and three bound and gagged women in the back - in Hilton's case (shown above), it was the Kardashians.
This did not go over well, and Reuters reports that certain employees at JWT India have been fired over the matter. It is also reported that the images weren't actual advertisements, nor were they part of an actual campaign; JWT said they "were never intended for paid publication, were never requested by our Ford client." A JWT rep said the employees who created the ads did so on their own, Ford commented to Automotive News that the ads were "part of a creative exercise intended to test concepts for an advertising competition."
The problem, if the story is to be believed, is that the employees skipped the regular review protocols and uploaded their work to an ad industry site - they were found on Ads of the World. That page, like the employees, has been removed.
George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
