Selling a Gorgeous, Super RARE Burgundy 1948 Ford F-1 Stake body pickup. I have been around awhile and have been to a ALOT of car shows and have never seen another one quite like this. This truck is the most prized of my Grandfather's personal collection, and a show winner! He purchased the truck back in 1978 (possibly from the original owner) and had the truck fully restored in 1998, with now less than 3k miles on the fully rebuilt engine. He has enjoyed driving the truck to shows and parades a few times a year since restoration. Garage kept and driven on sunny days only!. Meticulously maintained truck! Truck bed is truly a work of art, restored personally by my Grandpa who is a Master woodworker. Bed floor is solid oak, stake sides shown in photos are solid oak stakes with Beech wood slats. Also included with the truck but not shown is a complete set of full length and height side boards made of oak. The body on the truck is absolutely perfect with no rust or evidence of body work anywhere. The only blemish in the paint I could find is on the driver's front fender that was scratched at a local car show last fall. (see photo) The running boards are truly awesome. They were New old stock parts in the original box installed when the restoration was complete. Truck has correct wheels and hubcaps with matching Firestone Bias Ply tires. I can see myself in the paint on the wheels! Very Good tread as this truck sees very few miles per year. The odometer reads 6375. We are uncertain if this is the original mileage due to the age of the truck and the full restoration performed. The interior is nearly perfect and correct. Everything functions as it should. The engine is the original 239 Flathead V8 with single barrel carburetor. Transmission is original 4 speed with Granny low gear. Tan vinyl seat and headliner is in very good condition as seen in photos. All switches, knobs, indicators function correctly. Regular maintenance has been performed religiously. This truck needs nothing to be enjoyed and showed now! I would not be surprised if this truck won awards your first time out! My grandfather would like the truck to go to a good home to someone who will enjoy it as much as he has. You will not find another truck like this anywhere! New York State does not issue titles for vehicles of this age, so the new owner will receive a transferrable registration and a bill of sale. Vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Serious buyers can e-mail me and I will give you the owner's phone number for questions. Payment: Deposit of $500 will be required by Paypal within 24hrs of auction end. Balance will need to be by certified check or cash in person, within 10 days of auction end. If paying by check, funds will need to clear the bank before the vehicle will be released. Shipping: All shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer.

Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.
Ford recalls 434k vehicles for several unrelated issues
Mon, 07 Apr 2014It seems that the hard winter in much of the country has been as rough on some Fords as it has on many people. The Blue Oval is recalling roughly 434,000 vehicles in two separate recalls, and one of them partially caused by the salt used to melt the snow on roads.
The first recall covers 385,750 2001-2004 Escape models in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada because a subframe could rust and eventually fail. This is partially due to the road salt used in those areas, and about 349,000 of the affected vehicles are in the US. To remedy the problem, dealers are installing a reinforcement cross brace on the frame to strengthen them. There has been one crash caused by the failure but no injuries. According to The Detroit News, this is not the first rust-related recall for Ford. It estimates the company has repaired over two million vehicles since 2010 for problems on vehicles related to the iron oxide, including the rear wheel wells of the Freestar minivan.
The second recall covers 48,950 2013-2014 Ford Fusion, Escape, C-MAX and Lincoln MKZ models because welds in their seatbacks don't meet National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards. The fault affects the front seats, and the sub-standard welds joining the setback to the recliner could increase the chance on injury. There have been no reported injuries or accidents caused by the problem, but there are 42,972 affected vehicles in the US and 4,744 in Canada.
Ford Mustang SVT caught looking fierce on the 'Ring
Tue, 15 Jul 2014The next-generation Ford Mustang SVT is one of the most anticipated performance cars of the moment. We've already seen it testing multiple times, but it has always been covered is some very heavy camouflage. However, Ford has just given us our best view yet of the new muscle car. According to our spy photographer, the Mustang was at the Nürburgring for high-speed testing, which meant that the Blue Oval had to remove most of the heavy obfuscation that the SVT has worn previously.
The stylish, more revealing camo makes picking out some of the more interesting details about the SVT rather easy. Starting from the front, there is the big hood scoop to feed cold air to its still mysterious engine. You can also immediately make out the model's new grille and lower front air dam. It has a vertical piece running from the bottom of the hood all the way to the ground. The aggressive styling almost gives the 'Stang the look of two fangs ready to bite down. The hood seam is even taped off here, which shows us its outline.
Around the side, it appears that the front and rear fenders are wider than stock, and the sills are certainly much larger. You can also just make out the SVT's bigger brakes behind its black wheels with a polished lip. Finally, at the rear, things appear mostly stock other than the diffuser that the exhaust outlets nestle into.
