You are bidding on a real sharp 1947 1/2 ton Ford truck that has had a frame off restoration. The color is an older Ford color that has some metallic in it, very eye catching. Lots of beautiful chrome! All the bumpers have been rechromed. It has a 239 cubic inch Flathead motor. The short block was done at Motor City Flathead. Bored 20 over, mild cam with aluminum high compression head and aluminum center manifold. A 4 barrel carburator, headers with dual exhaust, new Mallory distributor, pressurized oil system and filter and 5 speed mustang transmission. The only known problems I am aware of are: speedometer is not connected, but as it is the original one it only goes up to 60mph; it has a small chip on the lower front almost behind the bumper about 1-1/2" and a 1/4" scratch on the edge of the tailgate. See the pictures on both of these. It is always garaged and protected from the Michigan weather. It has only been driven for car shows and runs good.
I would encourage anyone seriously interested to look at it prior to the end of the auction.There is no warranty either expressed, written or assumed and the seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs. No allowance or set aside will be made due to any incorrectness, imperfection or defect and is being sold as is but I have described it as accurately as possible. The buyer has the responsibility to inspect the vehicle and make the decision as to the condition and value. Take a look at the pictures and ask any questions prior to bidding. Thank you for looking and good luck in your bidding.

Correction: Most all the chrome has been rechromed except for the bumpers, they did not need to be due to the condition.

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
Ford bringing 10 custom Transit Connects to SEMA
Tue, 29 Oct 2013With 57 vehicles planned for its SEMA display, it comes as little surprise that Ford has plenty of teasers for its show cars. After showing us what it has in store for the Mustang, Fiesta and Focus ST, now we're getting a look at some of the custom creations based on the redesigned 2014 Transit Connect van.
These nine Transit Connects are decked out to various degrees of customization, but our favorite might be the chopped and lowered Transit Connect from Mob Steel (shown above), which has a similar slammed stance that we see on some custom VW Buses. On the opposite extreme, LGE & CTS Motorsports has jacked up a Transit Connect to make a Cross Country cruiser that we wouldn't mind taking on a road trip.
There are seven other teasers from various companies, and you can check them all out in the gallery above or in the press release below. Ford is also promising a tenth Transit Connect for SEMA, so stay tuned for that as well.
Unrestored 1969 Shelby GT500 one of many classic barn finds going to auction
Wed, 19 Mar 2014We love a good barn find here at Autoblog. We like that there's a palpable excitement and sense of mystery surrounding barn finds. Each case has its own uniqueness to it, and this latest discovery is no different: an unrestored, one-owner 1969 Shelby GT500 with just 8,531 miles on it.
In the case of this particular barn find, many of the typical questions have already been answered. For example, we know who owned it - his name was Larry Brown. He recently passed away, and as he had no wife or children to inherit the estate, the car he purchased at Pennsylvania Ford dealer in May of 1969, will be auctioned off by Ron Gilligan Auctioneers.
The car was fastidiously maintained, having never been driven in the rain. In fact, Brown never even washed it, out of fear of it rusting. According to the auction website, the last time this car saw water was probably when it was detailed ahead of being delivered to Brown. If that doesn't sound like a fanatical sense of maintenance on the part of this GT500's owner, this next part will. The interior has been treated to a similarly painstaking attempt at preservation, with garbage bags covering the seats and two layers of floor mats over the carpets. The result is a car that, aesthetically, is in remarkable shape considering it's spent so long in a barn.
