 What we have here is a wonderful 1951 Ford F-1 pick up, "Effie" is her name.  She started life as my uncles father in laws farm truck.  When he passed the truck was left to rot in my Uncles field behind his house.  My Dad and I purchased it from my Aunt and the restoration began.  What started as a plan to just  clean her up and make her a fun putt around truck ended up becoming a true frame off restoration that my father and I did together. 

For the most part this truck is factory stock with a few nice upgrades, the most obvious being the paint.  Back in 51 she rolled out of the factory in that lovely shade of sea foam green/blue.  We decided that she would look better in what you see here, 2 tone silver and charcoal and boy does she attract attention.  Other upgrades include:
Tinted Glass, not film but true tinted glass
Seat belts
New wire harness and conversion to 12 volts from 6 volts
Over size radiator
New bed and tailgate with select oak bed and polished stainless steel bed strips.
New running boards

She still runs a complete rebuilt original 239CI flat head V-8 and the original 3 speed standard transmission.  In fact the entire drive train is from the factory.  Everything has been either checked and / or rebuilt by professional early ford mechanics.   She also still wears the original factory fenders (after some pretty significant rust repairs) and all the original factory chrome trim.  There are exactly 2 new pieces of chrome and they are the points on the side of the hood, they were just to pitted to repair.  The rest has been either painstakingly polished (you do not want to know how many hrs I spent at the polishing wheel to bring it back) or it was stripped and re-chromed.  All that bright and shiny chrome comes thanks to this truck being a "Delux" model.  That means besides the chrome, she came from the factory with both a radio, interior door panels, head liner, rubber floor mat and a heater!  Yes, it is true, the base model F1 trucks from ford did not include heaters.  Effie did, and hers works like a charm!  All the door panels and headliner as well as the floor mat are new.  The radio does not work.  It did in the beginning but when we converted to 12 volts, I forgot to install the transformers for the radio and fried the vacuum tubes.  Should not be to expensive to repair.  

The other bad:  Last fall the spedo cable broke, I have not had the time nor inclination to repair it.  Once again, should not be to difficult.  Also the paint on the running boards is peeling in a few places and there is some surface rust showing on them.  The body is straight, there is no rust, and the paint is good to excellent but there are a few scratches and rubs in it.  Most could be polished out but like the radio and spedo cable.  , there just has not been the time or inclination to do the work.  Also the wood in the bed could use another coat of varnish. I have tried to show all the bad as well as the good in the pictures. 

The truck has an actual 66,170 miles.  Yes - that is actual.  Remember, we know the history of this truck and this was verified by the mechanic who did our engine rebuild and checked out our transmission.  Only 4000 miles since restoration, which is the reason we are selling her.  The lucky buyer will also receive the ford factory manuals and a top quality cover made just for this truck. 

This truck attracts attention everywhere I take her, I had 4 different people stop and check her out while I was taking these pictures. 

Shipping - I have never shipped a vehicle before but I am happy to work with the buyer to have it shipped once the funds are deposited and have cleared.  Feel free to ask any questions, I will do my best to answer them all.

2015 Ford Edge First Drive [w/videos]

Thu, Mar 12 2015

We're routinely told that it's not easy being the middle child. The oldest sibling will always outshine the rest, while the youngest is routinely doted upon. The middle child, meanwhile, is seemingly never able to measure up. You know the drill: Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! But that hasn't really been the case for Ford's mid-kid crossover, the Edge. Sandwiched between its highly successful big brother, the Explorer, and the stylish younger brother, the Escape, the Edge has had plenty of its own bragging rights over the years. It's where the Blue Oval chose to first launch MyFord Touch in 2011, and was one of the company's first applications of an EcoBoost engine in a CUV. For 2015, Ford has given the Edge a brand-new outfit, complete with stand-out sheetmetal and a revamped 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger and direct-injection. The result is a vehicle that truly stands out from its compact and fullsize siblings while promising to retain Ford's edge in the midsize CUV market. Where many of Ford's cars have opted for a slim, Aston Martin-like grille, the new Edge's face is big and bold. It's around back, however, where the Edge really comes up with its own personality. The slimmer D-pillar forms the edges of a more aggressively raked rear window. It's difficult to spot in pictures, but the result is a decidedly more assertive profile than the outgoing CUV. Beyond that, the rear is home to Fusion-inspired taillights, although unlike Ford's popular midsize sedan, they're joined together by a vehicle-spanning lighting element that prominently features a Ford badge at its center. Ford's work on the Edge's interior is less progressive, though. The owner of a 2014 model wouldn't feel the least bit out of place climbing behind the wheel of a 2015, as it features Ford's same reconfigurable instrument cluster, and a center stack that's been crowned by the latest (and final) edition of MyFord Touch. Meanwhile, more JD Power Initial Quality Study-friendly buttons have replaced the obstinate and unintuitive touch-capacitive controls. The conservative take on the interior design belies the big improvements in material quality. The leather inserts in the doors are more heavily padded and the plastics are far softer. It's a similar story throughout the cabin, where owners will notice softer dash plastics and generally richer materials.

Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.
