Up for auction is a nice, clean, original, 1947 1-1/2 ton Ford Truck with a flathead V-8 with 28,086 original miles, 4 speed tranny, and like new tires, straight off the original farm where it spent it's entire life. It' pretty much original except for one re-paint. No frills, pretty simple truck from simpler times. It's pretty much get in and go, this truck looks and drives like it's actually less than 10 years old, not 66 yrs old, runs great, we drove 2 hrs. on a major highway to get her home and it ran flawless. I documented any flaws in my pics, but I'm going to lay them out so as to represent the truck as best as I can, nothing major, but I'm an honest seller and want you to know what I know, and see it like you were here. There is a chip in each fender, about 1-1/2 inches each, a few of the windows have small cracks, the driver side door has a crack in the paint at the bottom of door, due to a repair, most likely from rust, as these doors were prone to rustain as water ran down the window and collected in the bottom of the door, draining poorly, I would say the door needs a patch panel and a repaint to make it perfect, form 10' away it looks good, the headliner in these trucks are cardboard, and are known for mice building nests in them, well, one did, and ate a 3" hole in it, repro headliners are about 50 bucks, the passenger side door is locked shut and I have no key for it, the rubber floor mat has a few small wear holes, and that's abt. it, pretty cut and dry, as I said, nothing major, but wanted to run them thru for you so you can pick anything out in the pics and know what you are bidding on. As I said, nice , clean, 28,000 original mile truck, that looks and drives like it's 10 yrs. old, daily driver, car shows, tow vehicle for you street rod, parades, hay rides, apple picking, historical, museum interests, even advertising your businesss, this truck turns heads, and every one that sees it loves it. Good luck bidding !

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average
Tue, 11 Jun 2013We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).
Ford starting up 2.0L EcoBoost engine production in Ohio
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of The Americas (pictured above), announced today that in late 2014, the automaker will be building the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder at its Cleveland Engine Plant, a move requiring a $200-million investment and the hiring of 450 new employees. European-built Ford products will continue to source this engine from the Valencia, Spain plant where all of these EcoBoost four-cylinder engines are currently built, and the new Cleveland engines will be used for all North American-made models.
Ford is planning to build its popular EcoBoost engines regionally to maximize production capacity and meet customer demand. Last year, Ford sold 334,364 vehicles with EcoBoost engines in the US alone, and that number is expected to swell to more than 500,000 by the end of this year, with global sales expected to total 1.6 million. By 2015, Ford says that 95 percent of its nameplates will offer an EcoBoost engine.
One such vehicle that could be adding an EcoBoost engine, according to Automotive News, is none other than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The report says that Ford could use either the 2.0-liter EcoBoost or an upcoming 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the sixth-generation pony car.
Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
