1948 Ford F5 on 2040-cars
Choteau, Montana, United States
Engine:Flathead Eight
Drive Type: Rear
Make: Ford
Mileage: 0
Model: Other Pickups
Warranty: Vehicle does NOT have an existing warranty
Trim: goofy eBay here
The F5 has been in the family since the 1950s and is very low mileage and virtually rust free (cab, floorboards, etc, with minor surface rust)
The F3 one ton is also very nearly rust free, except in the base of the box and the floor of the box itself.
It has dents and the dash of the F5 was modified to accept a later radio many years ago.
No attempt has been made to crank the flathead engine and so no assertions regarding it can be made, except that it is intact and accessories are present.
It is a candidates for restoration, perhaps with other parts. It would greatly help an otherwise good running truck that needed a solid cab.
Cab has broken glass and dents. The hood of the F5 is probably damaged beyond anything but a major rehab.
I have a title - for the F5, and will supply "AS IS" Bill of Sale for all parts (both identified trucks)
I will also accommodate the dismantling of the F5 if the buyer wants only the sheet metal parts (for a fixed additional cost we can discuss and agree upon ahead of time.)
The Pluses:
* You might see on the surface of the two cabs but it is just that, a thin layer of easily removable surface rust.
* It is a Montana vehicle, for at least the past 40 years. As such, much of the corrosion and rust issues of other regional cars is not there.
* Some of the flat glass may need replacing, but then that is no problem.
* There is a clear title in my hot little hand.
The frame, rocker panels and underbelly appear to be very solid. The trucks appear to have never been wrecked or substantively repaired. There is no visible bondo or other filler anywhere.
The Negatives:
* There is isolated rust. floor pans seem very solid, indeed.
* There are a couple of the flat glass windows which are cracked - easily replaceable just about anywhere.
* There are a number of minor dents and the F5 hood, espceially, is pretty dinged.
* The interior is largely complete. Some of the nobs and handles are missing.
* It needs all the standard attention any unrestored 60 odd-year old trucks would likely need.
This is an awesome project package or very nice replacement cabs for rolling stock you may have.

Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.
Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.
