Well f1 guys.... I'm am selling a pretty neat 1948 pickup. The truck has been 95% restored approx 7 years ago. Then stored inside until I purchased it in spring. I was very impressed with the overall workmanship, new steel box complete with new tailgate, new fiberglass fenders front and rear. Also new glass running boards as well. Being a Wisconsin truck I was concerned about rust in the cab. To my surprise the owner had the cab replaced with a cab from an old fire truck cab. No rust. The paint is nice, not perfect and not a 15k job, but nice, color sanded and buffed. New wiring harness and a lot of other parts were part of the restoration. Ex. King pins etc. Along with a freshening of the engine,not sure to what degree. Runs well no smoke.
I'm selling this truck...... It's going. I have committed to purchase a 66 vette, this is your chance to purchase this before it goes to the dealer I bought the car from. The facts. Please understand this is a nice, and neat truck, not junk.... But not ready for a 500 mile tour either. It needs some tlc The brakes were new seem to work well Under carriage has been cleaned and painted with a rust conversion product Overall nice glass and rubber seals New wire harness, factory style not a universal kit I drove it numerous times, locally Once or twice the solenoid on the fire wall stuck. I'm sure from sitting. Shifts like and old floor shift. Truck needs Front bumper Refinish wood in the box was new when restored, to look new again Rubber floor mat or carpet if you choose The letters ford for the nose A lot of the missing stainless not on the truck goes with, was never reinstalled Inner door panel gone drivers side. Probably all new fluids and fuel as well Wing window frames are rusting through the chrome. Tires are nice rims showing their age And the unknown we all know about. Headliner is sagging, horn button gone" With very little investment of time or money this truck would run along side any other f1 in the 18-23k range Truck must go this week . |

BMW to follow Honda back into F1?
Mon, 14 Apr 2014The economic downturn wrought devastating effects on motor racing. Formula One alone lost half its engine suppliers when Honda left at the end of the 2008 season, and both BMW and Toyota followed at the end of 2009. But things are looking up again. Cosworth may have dropped out this season, reducing the engine suppliers to three: Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes, the latter of which admits that it may have left had the engine formula not changed. But Mercedes has stayed and is dominating the championship. Honda is coming back next season. And word around the paddock is it may not be the only one.
According to Giancarlo Minardi - founder of the team now known as Scuderia Toro Rosso - BMW engineers have been conspicuously spotted lately at F1 test sessions and grands prix, lending to speculation that the new engine regulations may entice the Bavarian automaker back into the series. According to Minardi, BMW's marketing division is pushing for the automaker's return to F1, with the board slated to make a decision in May. BMW would be more likely to consider an engine-supply deal rather than taking a team over like it had with Sauber, but with which team or teams it might collaborate remains a big question mark at this point.
As if that's not enough, Ford is said to be considering taking over Cosworth's aborted V6 turbo engine program to take both outfits back into the sport as well. Cosworth supplied F1 engines under the Ford banner for years, but returned under its own name for four seasons from 2010 through 2013 before shuttering its program to develop an engine to meet the new regulations adopted this season.
Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70
Sun, 20 Jul 2014We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
