Classic Vintage Hot Rod Ratrod Barn Find Not 39 40 on 2040-cars
Bismarck, North Dakota, United States
Recently rescued from a western North Dakota ranch yard is an all original 1941 Ford pickup. She lived a tough life working hard on the prairie and gave it her all until her water pumps failed. They started to fix her, ( removed fan and took radiator hoses loose) before giving up and parking her. At least they covered here with a tarp when they parked her in 1979, and replaced her with who knows what. Sad day for a proud old lady. Her body shows some abuse, wood is gone in box and "ranch modified back bumper". Rear fenders are rough, front and cab pretty nice. Homemade grille. Radio in glove box, keys in the ignition. Windows work, steers nice, rolls free, would be easy to load. Very solid, little rust in floor and cab corners have normal rust. Homemade seat in box. Motor complete except air cleaner. Oil looks gunky and motor will not turn by hand. They said it ran when parked but she has sat for too long. Brake pedal goes to floor, haven't checked further. Shift nice, clutch feels good. Would make cool rat rod with freshened up flathead and a little brake work. If you have little or no feedback you must call before you bid or you will be cancelled. $ 500.00 paypal deposit required in 48 hrs and balance wire transfer or certified funds in 5 business days. If you want to see her before you bid please call. Jim 701.four seven one. 9063 |

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013
Wed, 24 Apr 2013As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.

Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data
Fri, 14 Feb 2014Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.
