Up for auction is on 1948 Ford F1. I bought it and put some work into it, then sold it to a friend and he put some work into it and recently I have bought it back and put some more work into it.
The brakes have been over hauled with new shoes, wheel cylinders, flex lines and hardware. The drums are in good condition and should offer years of faithful service.
The front end has been rebuilt. The front axle is a dropped unit that lowers the front 3" without giving up ride quality. Bushings, bearings, tie rods and king pins were all replaced.
The front springs have been disassembled, cleaned and painted. The grooves have been smoothed out and the edges polished. The individual leaves were greased and a poly slider was placed in between each leaf. The original springs are supple and with the upgrades give a pretty smooth ride. While the front end was off the frame was cleaned up and painted POR black. The front end has been professionally aligned and the caster is set at a steady 7 degrees.
The rear tires are new 16 700 Firestone wide white walls. The front are used 15 g78 tires. The rear springs were also disassembled and cleaned, three leaves were removed. The rear is the original unit. New u-joints were installed front and rear and the drive shaft was professionally balanced.
The engine has 70k miles on it before we pulled it down to a short block. Pre-emission heads were swapped in for better flow. Major components were inspected and then reassembled with new oil pump, new timing gear and chain set. The alternator, water pump and regulator are also new. Of course new plugs, points, cap and rotor were used as well. The carburetor is an Edelbrock 600cfm. Tthe truck responds well to acceleration and does not bog or smoke. The engine is connected to an FMX trans that came with the donor car and is believed to have apx 70k on it as well. The filter and fluid were changed before it was installed. No burned smell or excessive metal were noted. The engine and transmission motivate this old truck very well.
The truck has been rewired and turn signals added. There are two aftermarket gauges under the dash to help monitor heat and oil pressure. The truck holds a steady 30 psi when hot and obviously more when cold. The engine temperature stays in the 180 range with the help of an electric fan that is controlled by a toggle switch. The heater blows hot though the duct work needs replaced. The wiper motor has been rebuilt and works very well for a vacuum operated motor.
This truck is being sold AS IS . And it IS a project. It is NOT a finished vehicle. The truck has been driven on the street off and on for years, but it is not ready for daily driver status. There is plenty of tuning and tweeking to be done.The need for body work should be obvious from the pictures. There is a little bit of rust everywhere. Again, see pics. Windows seals will need to be addressed at some point. And the seat needs to be recovered. That blanket is there to keep the springs from poking through. The driver's side window and regulator will need to be replaced. The window dropped abruptly and broke when the regulator failed. I would recommend rebuilding the steering box at some point as well. There is slop unless you over tighten the adjustment and then you get a wobble under deceleration from 60 -55mph. In other words, it steers like an old truck.
This truck is being sold as is, where is. I can help with storage or reasonable requests for helping with transportation. I will not arrange shipping. I will work with whatever shipper you choose. I will make myself available, meet you tdriver and assist with loading, but I will not arrange shipping.
I will need a Non-refundable deposit of 1000 dollars within 24 hours of the auction ending. Final payment must be made within 5 days of end of auction.Cash or check is fine, but payment must clear before the truck leaves our custody. This truck is for sale locally as well and we reserve the right to end this auction early. If you have any questions, just call me. Doug 804-283-6578. The truck can be seen at:

Apollo Edition Mustang is a moonshot for charity
Wed, Jul 15 2015By putting a man on the moon, the Apollo Program stands as one of the greatest engineering achievements in human history. Ford is paying tribute to that massive triumph with the company's latest one-off Mustang for the charity auction at EAA AirVenure in Oshkosh, WI, on July 23. This Apollo Edition 'Stang is probably never leaving Earth's atmosphere, but it's going to shoot like a rocket down the road. The Apollo Edition starts as a 2015 Mustang GT, but project manager Melvin Betancourt from Ford Design comprehensively overhauls the pony car. The exterior is finished in a handsome mix of black and white, and the coupe also shows off some serious patriotism with the Stars and Stripes adorning the outside. In an especially clever touch, orange LEDs underneath are meant to make the bottom look like its heating up under re-entry. Inside, the leather upholstery gets upgraded with embroidery inspired by the Apollo Program. Whether trying to launch into space or go quicker through the quarter mile, weight is the enemy, and power is crucial. The Apollo Edition boasts carbon fiber parts for the rear diffuser, side sills, and some trim. The 5.0-liter V8 also gets a Ford Performance supercharger to take output to 627 horsepower and 540 pound-feet of torque. A set of six-piston Brembo calipers should help slow this rocket down, and 21-inch custom wheels add some style. "With this year's stunning Apollo Edition Mustang, we salute that spirit of American ingenuity with the quintessential American automobile – Ford Mustang." Edsel B. Ford II said in the special model's announcement. The coupe is the Blue Oval's eighth charity car to support the Experimental Aircraft Association. The seven before it have raised nearly $3 million for the group's work to get young people interested in flying.

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
