55 Ford F100 Truck With Incredible Patina - Original Rolling Chassis on 2040-cars
Fayetteville, Georgia, United States
Incredible Rat Rod just waiting to happen - I picked this 1955 f100 up about a year ago with plans to make a great rat rod out of it, but have too many projects to tackle this one right now and I hate to see it go to waste. Truck was white, but previous owner stripped it to the metal to allow it to 'age', then got tired of it and sold it. Truck has no motor or transmission, no seat or interior. Has original spring front end and 9" rear end. Frame appears to be in good shape, cab has typical rust: rockers, cab floor and cab corners. I have new sheet metal for the cab corners and rockers, but not the floor. Cab floor has been covered with fiberglass at some point in the past...my plan was to replace the floor completely along with the rockers. Doors have rust in the bottoms. I believe most, if not all, of the door glass, window operators, headlights and grille components are in the cab of the truck. What you see in the photos is how I purchased the truck, I have not touched it since bringing it home. Inner fenders are in good shape, as is firewall metal. Original steering wheel and manual column are in tact, as are pedals. Truck has a ton of possibilities, I would love to see this go to someone who wants to tackle a big, but worthwhile, project.
Title is listed as 'clear' because ebay has limited options...Truck is sold with Bill of Sale from State of Georgia, which does not require vehicles of this age to be titled. $500.00 deposit is due upon winning auction, balance due at, or before, pick up. Don't bid if you don't want to buy. No warranties or guarantees. I will not ship or deliver, but will be happy to help you coordinate delivery of the truck. |

Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers
Wed, 30 Apr 2014Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.
Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany
Sat, 29 Jun 2013Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.
Court puts kibosh on apartheid lawsuit against Ford, Daimler
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Ford and Daimler have scored a major victory in a long-running lawsuit filed in US federal court by unnamed South African nationals. The suit alleges that both manufacturers and their subsidiaries sold their vehicles to the South African military, despite knowing that they'd be involved in violently putting down anti-apartheid protesters.
According to Reuters, South African plaintiffs filed the case under the 223-year-old Alien Torts Statute, a law which allows foreign nationals to file charges in US courts for perceived breaches of what was originally international law, but now more closely relates to violations of human rights.
And while the case - which also involves computer manufacturer IBM - has been tied up in federal courts for years, a recent case from the Supreme Court struck down a similar suit against Royal Dutch Petroleum (Shell), arguing that the ATS doesn't apply to corporations or to conduct if it occurred outside the US. In short, the law applies to individuals, but not corporations like Ford or Daimler. A US appeals court ruled that the conditions apply in this case, potentially drawing this long-running saga to a close, as the defendants will now be allowed to request that the case be dismissed in district court.
