Vintage, 1952 Ford F - 1 Truck, Oh, if she could talk!.... this Gal has had a great life, so far! Yeah she's 61 years young, no body work other than what was done at the factory back in the day with lead, but with a very good paint job and both a rebuilt for "unleaded fuel", stock 239 CU. flat-head V-8 110 HP and the upgraded, rebuilt, mercury 3 speed manual (as mentioned w/ the solenoid overdrive), also added was/is power steering, she rides down the road a bit faster than the standard transmission that came with it back in '52, so she just purrs down the highway, (must mention that the trans mounting did require some fabricated modification),
( excellent workmanship! ) looks like it's meant to be the way it is.
I was honored to be allowed to drive this wonderful machine, she's just as smooth as can be, clutching to the next gear is smooth and actually so is the ride. (considering the fact that it's a truck)
(though in truth I only took her up to about 45 mph or so, in respect to the ol' gal, as well for my neighbor allowing me to drive her)!
Wow!... so cool! They just don't make anything these days to compare! Heck the metal alone could probably make 10 cars!
Back to the details; my neighbor Jim, is only selling this beaut' so that he can surprise his long loved & wed wife, with a special anniversary present, that she would not even expect! (it's well that her heart is strong!) (kudos, to him and their marriage!) she's been stored (the truck) during the winters in the garage within a moisture guard enclosure and in the summers garaged when not being shown or driven, as can be seen in the pictures both topside and undercarriage is in great shape! with just a bit of rust under her (see photos') but all in all very clean! Rebuilt in 2002, she's seen many shows and won her many well deserved trophies!
(Jim's a stickler when it comes to keeping all his vehicles, nicely detailed (he is meticulous!) in all areas including; maintenance of wheel bearings, hinges, ball joints, oil changes etc... you name it, it's cared for, whether needed or not! Hardly a day goes by, that he's not performing maintenance, or polishing his car(s)(including a mint condition '55 Packard Clipper) or this truck, tires in good shape, runs great, looks great, you can't ask for more, but wait, there is more, miles?
How about less than 12,ooo + - miles since the rebuild !!!
(speedometer out for a short bit of time,...no biggie!) since she was re-built! Plenty of high end offers over the years, but never did he consider selling until now, with their anniversary upcoming, ... (No he's not thrilled with letting her go, but, his wife takes precedence!)
(as it should be!...Donna is such a kind hearted and giving lady) (I wish I had the $$$doe! I'd gladly pay him his very fair price!)
Please by all means... ?s' are welcome!!! ... Last, but (by far) not least, words,
... you might be able to find as nice as her, in a museum somewhere!

Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.
Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]
Sun, 08 Dec 2013The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.
Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.
