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.

Toyota sells six of 10 of hybrids in California
Wed, 31 Jul 2013In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.

2017 Ford GT spied in the raw
Thu, May 14 2015The Ford GT supercar is finally going outside to play, and it has been captured for the first time prowling the streets near Ford's compound in Dearborn, MI. Due in late 2016, the GT has been one of Ford's most closely guarded projects and was developed under a veil of secrecy. The prototype revealed at the Detroit Auto Show stunned enthusiasts, and these shots illustrate that it's making the leap to production reality. As our spy shooter wryly notes, the mule captured in these photographs looks like a Mad Max prop. It's colorless, is missing key body parts – note the ringless taillights and lack of a rear bumper or diffuser. It also looks to be even lower to the ground than the concept from the Detroit show. It appears to have different mirrors and windshield wipers. The lack of some body panels also calls out the exhaust pipes, which look like tail guns in these shots. Otherwise, this test car looks just like the auto show star, and sans paint it manages to appear even more sinister. Though these spy shots indicate the GT is on track for production, Ford has been pretty up front about what the car will be when it arrives in showrooms. We know it will have a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It will make extensive use of carbon fiber and feature a driver-oriented, contemporary-styled interior. Canadian company Multimatic will build the GT. The Le Mans-inspired supercar is the standard-bearer for Ford's renewed performance push. The automaker plans to roll out at least 12 sporting cars by 2020 as it looks to lure new buyers to its fold. Ford also using developments from these high-end cars to improve its lineup, and will it spread aerodynamics and materials technologies across its portfolio. "It's another proof point about how serious we are in developing innovation through performance," Ford product chief Raj Nair has said.
