1940 Ford 1/2 Ton Pick Up Truck W/flathead V8 on 2040-cars
|
There can only be one new owner of this totally functional solid driver at this bargain price. Impressive "driver". Starts & runs very nicely, no smoke or overheating. Lots of power/pep. Starts with key, original toggle "ON" switch, & push button. Second gear works fine, but catches a little once in awhile. Old or patina is the paint description (age cracks that are not letting go; mostly tailgate: see tailgate picture). Mostly solid minimal rust original. Exceptions are 12 volt system & later year flathead V8. Has new glass pack mufflers which gives it a nice rod sound, but not too loud. The wood rails added to the bed top is done very nicely. Rust free frame & over-all body. Some minor areas need attention. All glass is new (both door windows roll easy ). Doors open/close flush & firm; no drops/rubbing or squeaks. Bed wood & metal retainers are good. The interior is great with gauges working. Interior dome light added & works. The cab floor & firewall have complete Ford aftermarket repro insulation installed (under rubber mat also). One sun visor (as originally was equipped). Wiper does work, but 6 inches & slow. Steering wheel horn button works & an added ahooga horn with a seperate button, works. All lights & directionals work (four way also). The added "spot lights" on the left & right of windshield do not work & are for nostalgic finness? I guess they could be wired to light & then add blackout/shade out flaps (many of these trucks did their World War two civil service civilian attack watch duty)? This had a long time owner. Always garaged in his ownership. Clear Florida title. 904-881-3495. Old Bronco's are going for $20k+. Here is a pre WWII, most popular year/style, more than just novalty. Drive as is, or make it a $40k piece of art. So far, I've had a local decent cash offer & an even trade offer of a 37 chevy coupe hot rodded ($34k asking on window for sale; rack/pinion steer; A/C; custom interior; rear air hydraulic levelers, etc). These offerees have seen & drove the truck. This listing has been set to auto assign relist at end of this listing if not sold; same terms/price. An automatic "accept" price has been checked in the "make offer" options. This means if met, you could win & own unless a different bidder outbids @ last minute. |

3dCarbon now offering body kit for Ford Fusion
Tue, 01 Oct 2013A factory-backed body kit by 3dCarbon is now available to Ford Fusion owners who want their car to stand out from the crowd while not being too flashy. The body kit adds a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear body trim and spoiler that are, in fact, integrated quite nicely into the Fusion's already-comely styling, just as 3dCarbon claims. All Fusions with the kit also receive dual exhaust ports with the stainless-steel exhaust surrounds usually reserved for the Titanium package Fusion EcoBoost models.
A nice detail of 3dCarbon's injection-molded urethane body kit is that it has undergone crash testing to certify that it can withstand crashes up to five miles per hour. Because of this, the kit is warrantied by 3dCarbon for five years or 50,000 miles, much like Ford's warranty on its own parts. In fact, the kit is available through participating Ford dealers and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit. Buyers can purchase the kit - pre-painted or unpainted - and install it themselves, or it can be purchased with a new Ford Fusion and installed at the dealer, pre-painted to factory specifications. Of course, it can also be ordered directly from the source. Take a look at the press release below for more detailed information on the body kit, and let us know what you think of it in Comments.
Jay Leno takes a Surfin' Safari in a 1937 Ford Woodie Restomod
Tue, 21 Oct 2014Woodie wagons were a major part of surfing culture in the 1960s, offering coastal style and a ton of room, and they even earned a mention in the Beach Boys' classic song Surfin' Safari. This week, Jay Leno's Garage takes a look at two modern, restomodded examples of these style icons.
Unlike a lot of restomods, builder Scott Bonowski keeps these wagons looking almost completely stock on the outside, and all of the upgrades are hidden underneath the timber. You can't tell by looking at it, but the '37 Woodie (pictured above) has independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes and a Ford 5.0-liter V8 under the hood.
Beyond the mechanical aspect, the craftsmanship into the wood is astounding. Bonowski claims there are between 30 and 50 coats of varnish on this wagon. It makes these woodies as much of a piece of fine furniture as a vehicle to drive.
Ford Escort is ready to focus on the Chinese market
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford officially revived the Escort name in China, showing of the new, four-door compact at the Beijing Motor Show. Painted in a stylish brown-bronze, the new sedan wears a number of global Ford styling cues while sharing its platform with the Ford Focus.
Power for the new model comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, although Ford doesn't specify just how much power is on offer, simply saying that the fuel economy of the new mill will be "outstanding." It's unclear what transmission will be distributing the engine's power, although based on the images we've seen, the Escort will definitely offer a two-pedal setup.
The layout of the cabin is fairly clean, although as we mentioned in our initial post on the new Escort, it's a decidedly sparser environment than we've grown use to in US-spec Fords of late. If anything, it's like a weird blend of current Ford switchgear with an overall look that reminds us of older Ford layouts. Still, it looks like a comfortable way of moving five people about without too much fuss. There's ample space both front and rear, and a rather spacious trunk.
