1954 Ford F100 Short Bed on 2040-cars
|
This is an extremely clean 1954 Ford F100 1/2 ton short bed. It has under 29,000 since the complete re-build. Everything on this truck works. It is a nice reliable daily driver or show truck. The truck was a high quality build and is still able to win awards at local shows. The truck cruises down the highway at 70 mph at 2300 rpm thanks to the overdrive transmission and 3:25 gears. This has always been a California truck and rarely sees rain.
The Chevrolet 327 V8 was completely rebuilt with a mild cam ( 268 D, 450 L) and 10 to 1 compression. It has a Holley aluminum intake with Edelbrock 4 barrel carb., air cleaner and high volume fuel pump, Aluminum valve covers, HEI ignition with MSD 8mm wires, shorty headers with Flowmaster exhaust system and a new aluminum radiator. The transmission is a rebuilt S&W Performance 700R4, 4 speed automatic overdrive with Lokar fill tube. The rear end is a Currie built Ford 9” peg leg with 3.25 gears and drum brakes hung on mono leaf springs. The rear suspension also has an air bag system with on board compressor, interior controls and gauge. The front suspension is a completely rebuilt Volare independent with power steering and power disc brakes. Wheels are 18” Boze. Fronts are 18x8 with 245/45/18 Falken tires and the rears are 18x9 with 275/40/18 Falken tires. There is a new aluminum 19 gal. fuel tank under the driver side of the cab.
The body is very straight and rust free with a high quality pearl yellow paint job. There have been a few touch ups and a couple minor chips from use. The front bumper has been removed and a roll pan added. The rear bumper has been raised and the mounting brackets shortened. It also has a hidden receiver trailer hitch behind the hinged license plate. The body seams have been smoothed and the emblems removed. The door handles have been shaved and the driver door is on a popper. The windows have been converted to one piece power with tinted glass. The gas filler has been placed behind a door, the hood is reverse tilt and the tailgate has a Sir Michaels smooth skin with hidden latches. The bed floor is steel and the bed, running boards, interior floor and rear cab have been coated with Tuff Skin spray one material. The complete interior was redone including billet gauge face with 5 Classic Instruments gauges, a tach beneath the dash, billet headlight and wiper knobs, billet pop out cup holders, billet Lokar gas pedal/ linkage and brake pad, an am/fm/cd player in the glove box, tweed headliner, visors and door panels, tilt steering column with billet banjo wheel and controls, leather 60/40 seat with storage underneath, billet third brake light and 2 speed electric wipers.The truck is currently licensed and insured in my name. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, however I will assist where I can. Or, just drive it home. Deposit due in 3 days and full payment in 7 days unless agreed upon in advance. If terms not met the sale will be canceled. The truck is for sale locally and the auction could be ended if the reserve has not been met. The reserve is set lower than the current bids on comparable trucks listed. Contact Don at (714) 390-3108 or through eBay with any questions. |

Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.
Ford Mustang 50th anniversary edition brings in $170k
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Just the other day, we reported on the first Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat selling for a whopping $825,000 at auction. But impressive as that sum was, the Challenger wasn't the only sought-after modern muscle car to cross the Barrett-Jackson auction block in Las Vegas this past weekend. So did this rare Ford Mustang.
The last of 1,964 special-edition 50 Years Limited Edition pony cars sold for a princely $170,000, with proceeds benefiting the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute, a branch of the Henry Ford Health System.
The pony car in question is based on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and upgrades with a performance package and nearly every option on the book, along with a unique appearance package to set it apart in celebration of the Mustang's 50th anniversary. It's available in two exclusive shades - Wimbledon white or Kona blue - with either a manual or automatic transmission. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples were to be built, and this was the last of them.
NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
