1940 Ford Rat Rod Pickup

***NO RESERVE***



Description: Custom frame with air suspension, custom 18" chrome wheels, modified 350 (estimated at 450 HP), reworked automatic transmission

Body:  Box has been shortened about 4" with floor removed to accommodate frame and suspension, included with the auction is a custom made (from Liquid Steel) recessed firewall not installed, the cab is in very good condition with the seat riser, there is some floor rust but the this section should be modified to accept the transmission tunnel, doors are complete and close well, cab corners have very little rust, dash is complete, original and uncut. The body is in the mock-up stage for fitting, hood hinges are new. 

Interior: The interior is complete and unrestored, the original bench seat is included, some glass is cracked, the steering column is from a 49 Mercury.

Parts included but not shown: 2 air pumps, 4 solenoids, air tank, special build recessed firewall.

History: I bought this truck from a friend who ran into financial difficulties and was forced to sell it. We had hoped he would recover and be able to buy it back, but a year has gone by and he called and said that wasn't likely to happen. He spent over 30K getting it to this stage, he had no intention of doing paint or bodywork but everything else was going to be high end, and as a result the work done to this point is first class.

Location: The truck is located near Salmon Arm British Columbia a few hours from the Washington border. If the truck is sold to a US buyer I can help with the paperwork I've done it many times in the past, its not dificult

Shipping: I can help locate shipping however it takes a lot of time so I will not give shipping quotes during the auction and then only to the winning bidder.

Contact: You can email any questions or call me directly at 1-250-515-1110

Payment: Payment must be received within 4 days of the end of the auction in the form of cash when the truck is picked up, official bank check (must clear before delivery) or a bank wire transfer.

Overall: In my opinion this is one of the best looking rat rods I've seen, although not finished most of the hard and expensive work is done. I have a large classic car collection and I'm out of space otherwise I would finish it and keep it. I'm offering it unreserved with a low starting bid so if you want a great deal on a really neat rat rod this is your chance. The truck is for sale locally so I may end the auction early. There is no buy it now price but you can make an offer.

Thanks for looking

Ford to reveal Vignale sub-brand with special Mondeo in Frankfurt

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

Ford says that 10-15 percent of its customers in Europe want their cars to be set apart from regular Fords - even those wearing the top Titanium X trim - and the Blue Oval will answer them with the Vignale sub-brand. The new brand proposes a more upscale look and a much-improved dealership experience, Autocar reports. The Vignale Mondeo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show to kick off the new endeavor.
The first Ford to receive the Vignale treatment will be the 2015 Mondeo, a Euro-only model, followed by the new S-Max and Edge. The Vignale Mondeo is set apart visually from other Mondeos by a chrome grille and chrome door handles and mirror caps. Mondeo badging will be deleted - only Vignale badging will make an appearance.
The interior will get a more upscale flavor, as well, with quilted leather seats and door trim and leather covering the instrument panel, center console and steering wheel. A Vignale-badged storage drawer will be installed in the trunk, and in-car Wi-Fi is available.

Lincoln dealers to build standalone dealerships separate from Ford

Tue, Aug 14 2018

Way back in 2011, Ford Motor Credit Co. established Lincoln Automotive Financial Services as part of what Automotive News called "a campaign to set the Lincoln brand apart." Lincoln's been on a wild, public ride in the seven years since, which included a near-death experience in 2013 under former Ford CEO Alan Mulally. But Ford's luxury brand has rebounded and is ready to take another shot at setting itself apart. Automaker execs have asked dealers with twinned Ford- Lincoln dealerships in 30 major U.S. markets to build standalone stores. According to company data, the move isn't a gamble — dealers with standalone showrooms sell more vehicles. Lincoln's standalone dealerships in the 30 major U.S. markets that account for 70 percent of luxury segment sales increased 48 percent from 2014 to 2017, compared to an overall Lincoln brand sales increase of 18 percent. After a former Ford-Lincoln dealer in Minneapolis opened a devoted Lincoln store this January, sales have climbed 60 percent so far this year. Dealers in Orange County, California, and Atlanta, Georgia have seen sales double since opening exclusive Lincoln storefronts. The sales manager at the Atlanta dealer said, "Customers have pulled up and said, 'This is how it should be.'" Robert Parker, Lincoln's head of marketing, said, "Customers expect the environment to be equal to the product. They want to buy a luxury product in a luxury environment." That issue repeatedly comes up when a mass-market brand launches a luxury product; observers have lately wondered how much the issue affects sales of Hyundai's Genesis brand. Out of 845 Lincoln showrooms nationwide, there are 150 Lincoln dealers in those 30 major U.S. markets. So far, 72 dealers have made or are working to make the standalone switch on their own. Lincoln is asking the remaining 78 shops to follow suit, to agree to a new facility by July 2019 and to have the store finished by July 2021. Only the showrooms would need to be exclusive, service and other back-end departments can remain in Ford-branded complexes. Wielding the carrot, Lincoln will help dealers with relocating, and pay more for every car sold. Wielding the stick, Lincoln said that come Q2 2019, it won't let twinned dealers sell Black Label trims if they don't already. Over the next couple of years, Lincoln will complete the revamp of its lineup. Said marketing honco Parker, "The next phase of the transformation is critical.

Ford taps Canada-based Multimatic to build carbon fiber Ford GT

Mon, Feb 16 2015

Ford has given Canadian firm Multimatic the nod to build the carbon fiber body on the new GT – The Blue Oval says it has worked with this company for 30 years. The global supplier provides parts and engineering to various automakers, and while based in Markham, Ontario it has 12 plants in Canada, the US, Mexico, England, and China. When announcing the decision at the Canadian International Auto Show, Ford says it chose them "because they have specialized equipment for carbon fiber production and expertise in carbon fiber assembly," and we've heard that the 600-horsepower coupe will be produced in a purpose-built facility at Ford's factory in Markham. Even better than that – for GT purposes and for possible hints at a Le Mans run – the Multimatic Motorsports division can be contracted for engineering and race team management. They currently produce the Boss 302R racecar in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, worked on the FR500C, and their Multimatic Motorsports Lola B2K/40 won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2000. The first models will roll off the line at the end of next year. Production numbers are rumored to be in the low hundreds, with a six-figure price tag around $200,000. They'll go into production in time for some sort of 50th anniversary celebration of the GT40 taking the the top three spots at Le Mans in 1966.
