1949 Ford Pickup on 2040-cars
Hiawatha, Kansas, United States
Mileage: 30,594
Make: Ford
Warranty: Vehicle does NOT have an existing warranty
Model: F-100
This is a 1949 ford 1/2 ton pickup. It has one of the best cabs I've seen in a long time. The cab, front fenders, hood, and engine came from a F-5 stake truck that had been in a barn for 20 plus years. The F-5 fenders have a bigger opening than F-1's and so they hang down below the running boards about 2 inches. They were so nice and have the great original patina I left them on it. The only rust is the lower left fender apron below the headlight and the right door looks thin on the inside inner part where it meets the cab. I wish I could find a bed and rear fenders to match.The chassis is 1/2 ton with new brake cylinders, brake shoes, master cylinder,all hoses and lines. It still could have the drums turned or replaced but not totally necessary. They are rusty, It needs 2 studs replaced on the right front hub. It needs a muffler and tail/brake lights. The running boards have rust where the rear cross brace is. The bed and tail gate are near excellent with the exception the bed is the one that takes wood and metal dividers. It needs new wood and could use a couple better divider stripes. Again I haven't sand blasted and primed the rear 1/2 the truck yet as it has some rough patina as it is. If I could put red primmer with new rubbed through green paint that's my plan. The rear fenders have rust where they meet the running boards, behind the wheel where the brace attaches, and where the bed and fender meet as it curves down in the back. It could use better rears if you could find them. The engine sounds good from yard driven. When you 1st start it the valves pop and bang, but a little upper lube I think the engine is good. I think the park and headlights work as my brother did the changeover and I haven't checked. The big truck wireing is there for the tail lights. He did say the generator or voltage regulator needs repaired. The speedomter reads 30,594 which is from the cab. It may be accurate for the cab and engine but the needle has fallen off from age and the cable isn't currently hooked up. I may buff the cab and front 1/2 but wanted to show them as barn fresh. Hope you like it that way also. A 500.00 non refundable deposit is due within 48 hours and the balance within 7 day's. I am a Kansas dealer so Kansas residents need to add 8.8% sales tax. Other states pay in your home state. It's sold with Implied warranty only meaning the buyer payes for all repairs. I currently have the truck in North Kansas City, Mo where I'm moveing to if you want to look. I can also have it back in Hiawatha, ks whichever is easier. Thanks, Scott 816-506-3789

I just drove the truck and the generator does work as do the park lights and headlights. I want to add the truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Thanks again, Scott 4/14/2013 I wanted to add I change the wheels are now late model 15 inch pickup all the way around. It did have earlier smoothies for early hubcaps. It's selling with the late model wheels. I have washed the oxidation off and I'm getting ready to polich the front if the weather will stay nice. Thanks, Scott

Shelby to auction 2012 GT350 No. 1 in Vegas
Thu, 19 Sep 2013With Shelby preparing to wind down production of its brutal GT350, a 624-horsepower Mustang that's meant to go up against the Roush Stage 3 in the world of tuned Ford ponycars, the Las Vegas-based tuner is looking to give back to one lucky customer. It'll auction off the very first GT350 ever produced, at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, a three-day event that runs from September 26 through September 28.
The GT350 is a monster, with a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 that's been tuned well past 600 horsepower in a time when Ford's own Shelby-branded GT500 barely reached 550 horsepower. The GT350 is much louder than Ford's effort, too, both visually and audibly. The wide body look isn't what we'd call conventional, but on a car that sounds and goes like this, something extreme is needed. According to Shelby American's vice president of production, Gary Davis, "Carroll was very excited about the new wide body option, so that was included on this car. It's the first 2012 GT350 serial number from our anniversary year. It is a very special car." Wilwood brakes, a massaged suspension, and some very fat, sticky tires add to the Shelby experience.
This particular GT350 will be lot number 750, and will cross the Barrett-Jackson stage on Sunday, September 28.
1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.
Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
