1940 Ford 1/2 Ton Pick Up Truck W/flathead V8 on 2040-cars
|
There can only be one new owner of this totally functional solid driver at this bargain price. Impressive "driver". Starts & runs very nicely, no smoke or overheating. Lots of power/pep. Starts with key, original toggle "ON" switch, & push button. Second gear works fine, but catches a little once in awhile. Old or patina is the paint description (age cracks that are not letting go; mostly tailgate: see tailgate picture). Mostly solid minimal rust original. Exceptions are 12 volt system & later year flathead V8. Has new glass pack mufflers which gives it a nice rod sound, but not too loud. The wood rails added to the bed top is done very nicely. Rust free frame & over-all body. Some minor areas need attention. All glass is new (both door windows roll easy ). Doors open/close flush & firm; no drops/rubbing or squeaks. Bed wood & metal retainers are good. The interior is great with gauges working. Interior dome light added & works. The cab floor & firewall have complete Ford aftermarket repro insulation installed (under rubber mat also). One sun visor (as originally was equipped). Wiper does work, but 6 inches & slow. Steering wheel horn button works & an added ahooga horn with a seperate button, works. All lights & directionals work (four way also). The added "spot lights" on the left & right of windshield do not work & are for nostalgic finness? I guess they could be wired to light & then add blackout/shade out flaps (many of these trucks did their World War two civil service civilian attack watch duty)? This had a long time owner. Always garaged in his ownership. Clear Florida title. 904-881-3495. Old Bronco's are going for $20k+. Here is a pre WWII, most popular year/style, more than just novalty. Drive as is, or make it a $40k piece of art. So far, I've had a local decent cash offer & an even trade offer of a 37 chevy coupe hot rodded ($34k asking on window for sale; rack/pinion steer; A/C; custom interior; rear air hydraulic levelers, etc). These offerees have seen & drove the truck. This listing has been set to auto assign relist at end of this listing if not sold; same terms/price. An automatic "accept" price has been checked in the "make offer" options. This means if met, you could win & own unless a different bidder outbids @ last minute. |

Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty
Wed, 28 Nov 2012There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.
