1929 Model A Huckster Pickup Truck on 2040-cars
Springville, Indiana, United States
|
For Sale:
1929/1930 Ford Model A Huckster Pickup Truck. This truck is originally from Arizona and has !!NO RUST!! except for the passenger side running board (included in pictures and can be bought pretty cheap from Snyder's or other supply stores). The truck also has two small cracks on the passenger side rear fender which is fairly common as well and can be easily welded up (Also a picture of the cracks provided). Otherwise the truck is extremely solid and has no other body issues. The truck has a clear Indiana title and is titled as a 1930 Ford Pickup and has matching block/frame numbers. The body style is late 1929 and from what I've heard they ran that body into early 30' as well. Everything mechanical runs, drives, stops as it should for being 84/85 years old and runs like a clock. I've taken it out multiple times so far this year and haven't had any issues starting right up the first shot! Leaks in the usual places: a little from the water pump which is notorious and small drops from the trans which is common as well. This is not a restored truck and is just a little jalopy that is fun and reliable to hop in and drive (at very slow speeds at that)!!! (Top speed so far is 46mph downhill). New items: Tires, Battery, Starter, taillight wiring. Will need a few items for consistent daily driving: new headlights (ones on it are burnt out), headlight wiring, some type of top (convertible at the moment), full floor, mirrors, windshield wiper, etc but I'm rather simplistic and have had fun with it the way it is. Taillight/Brake light is wired and works but the light is an early 70's Honda cb350 light wired up just to make it legal for the road (hey use what you have!). The last picture is of the truck with the full top screwed on and what an original Huckster looks like. I have this hanging on my wall for the time being and will of course include it in the sale. I also have the original Huckster diagram/plans that I will include with the sale in case you want to restore all of the wood. This truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early at any time. If you would like to as any questions I will try to answer the best I can, please feel free to give me a call at: 260-235-0906 during reasonable hours and if I don't answer please leave your name/number and I will get back to you as soon as I can. If you live local enough to Southern Indiana (Springville/Bedford) please feel free to give me a call and make some time to stop on by for a test drive!!! Please no tire kickers or lowball offers, this is a very nice little truck that is running and ready to go! Payments will be accepted through Paypal or if you are local, cash in person. I do not need help selling :). Thank You, Mike |

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well
Mon, 23 Sep 2013New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.
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.
