From Harrison, Maine;

In remarkable preserved condition I am offering a genuine New England Farm Truck.

BODY; This truck has no rust issues. The body has been refreshed with minimal body filler used to

smooth surfaces. All repairs were old restorations and done in metal. Lines are excellent, body is solid, and a fresh coat of paint has been applied. The truck is a 10 footer.

INTERIOR. The dash, doors, and gauges are in original condition with no restoration being done. Floors had an older patch job at some point and are solid. Headliner is circa 1958 and appears old

but serviceable. I did recover the original seat. The truck does have an excellent aftermarket heater.

BED; This Ford F1 has the deluxe metal bed that was inserted over the wood bed. Both are in good condition.

UNDER CARRIAGE. The frame and under carriage are clean. Only surface rust appears in some spots on the axle and springs. At some point the truck had a very serious re-conditioning of the entire frame and rear bed. It is still in very good shape.

ENGINE. The deluxe model in 1946 offered the Ford Flathead V8-29A compression 6.4:1 power 100 hp. This has a single carb. The motor runs flawlessly. Exterior the engine is clean but age appropriate dirt and grim.

TRANSMISSION; Again the Deluxe has the four speed stick tranny with square gears (double clutch). Tranny does not leak and runs flawlessly.

BRAKES; I was told that they were recently redone. I have driven the truck (about 400 miles) with no issues.

EXHAUST; There is a new exhaust installed. It is a dual pipe system that sounds excellent.

OVERVIEW; This truck came from a well maintained home. It has had an older restoration which seemed oriented towards protecting the originality of the vehicle. I purchased it in presentable shape and have done preservation work to the truck to insure it's longevity. This is a wonderful example of the post war era vehicles that graced America's farmlands. This is a no issues parade ready truck that has immediate equity and drivability.

VALUE; HAGERTY, KELLEY, NADA, have a high book value of $42,000.00. Average book value is $17,900.00. This truck is in Very Good Condition and should be worth in the mid-twenties. I preserve and flip vehicles (30 years) so my reserve reflects a desire to find this truck a good home. Bid with confidence. This is a gem.

Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene

Tue, 13 May 2014

Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.

Ford turns Navistar from truck business customer to rival

Mon, 19 May 2014

There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
