Acworth, Georgia, United States

1950 Ford F-1 Truck I got this truck from a lady, and it was her great grand fathers truck, and it appears to have been keep inside most of it life because it is so solid. The wood in the bed appears to be the original wood, and it is still in good solid condition. It has the original ford windshield, one vent window, and back glass, but the back glass needs to be replaced because it has a crack in it. The V8 flathead runs great, and doesn't smoke, you just hit the starter, and it fires right up, and the brakes are in working condition. I just changed the oil, oil filter, and spark plugs. It has the rarer 3-speed on the column, you just don't see many 48 to 50 ford trucks with this option most where floor shift. It has a older repaint in the original color, and it still looks good with the normal paint chips here and there. The body is in great solid condition with no rust repair are patch panels, it does have some small beginning places that are in the lower front of both doors, and one small spot in the lower right front fender just below the grill, but these places are small, but did want to point them out, I took pictures of these three small areas. All the fenders where they meet the running boards are solid, and rust free. All the doors, hood, windows, and front air vent work as they should. Everything works except the speed-o-meter, the gauges, heater, lights, and wiper all work. The gas tank, and radiator are clean, and in great condition. The front rims, and spare are the original ford 15" rims, but the rear rims are a later 15", the tires need to be replaced if you are going to drive it on the road, they have some dry rot, and some flat spots from sitting in the garage for the past 7 years. The truck is being sold on a bill of sale only, but I can get a current Georgia tag for it if you need it to get a tag are title in your state. Georgia didn't have titles until 63 so I can't get a title for it. All zero feedback bidders please check with me before bidding are I will have to cancel your bid. I reserve the right to end the auction early. If you have any questions you can email me are call my cell at 404-867-3163 |

Reflecting on the Ford GT on its 10-year anniversary
Thu, 10 Apr 2014Ten years ago, during the bright-eyed enthusiasm of the early 2000s and before the collective automotive industry did its best Titanic impression, we had the Ford GT. An everyman's supercar like there'd never been (remember, this was before 638-horsepower Corvettes were a thing), the GT arrived with a supercharged, 5.4-liter V8 that produced 550 horsepower and graced this retro-styled rocket with an easy, sub-four-second sprint to 60 miles per hour.
Equal to the GT's performance were its looks. Inspired by the GT40 racers that dominated Le Mans and bested Ferrari in the 1960s, the sleek, low, almost-reptilian look of the GT was the absolute pinnacle of the retro styling that so defined the early 2000s.
Crank and Piston put together a video celebrating the ten-year-old GT, arguing that Ford is a bit too busy with the next-gen Mustang, which turns 50 next week, to do it themselves. In the short clip, there is gratuitous engine noise and supercharger whine, not to mention scenes of the white-on-red GT prowling the deserts and streets of Dubai. It's a bit short, but very nicely shot. Scroll down, have a look and be sure to turn up those speakers before getting started.
Ford profits soar as problems mount
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."
Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta
Tue, 17 Jun 2014The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back.
