1951 Ford F1 with 1957 Chevy 283 Powerpack

This truck started out life as a red Atlanta GA built V8 half ton 5 star extra cab pickup. At some point in time it was been converted to 12 VDC, repainted red, interior painted black, flathead pulled and replaced with a 283 and GM 3 speed manual transmission. Sometime after that it was parked and has remained parked for years.

The engine carries casting number 3731548 and the production code is “FI0I0FC”; I decode this as 1957 Chevy 283 Powerpack (220 HP) built at Flint on Oct 10 and originally hooked to a powerglide. I guess this has the special bushing to let the manual trans main drive gear engage. Note triangle over rectangle on heads, squarebore Carter carb, rams horns manifolds, etc. It is fitted to the truck with a Hurst adapter to use the Ford donut mounts on the frame in the original location. Perfect engine for your Chevy restoration, other rat rod, or old school Ford hot-rod going for the late 50s/early 60s look.

The truck is soft around all edges with obvious rust in fenders, floor, bed, hood, running boards, doors, etc., is missing parts, and has a few left over “accessory” holes here and there for various antennas, hood ornaments, and etc. Frame appears solid and the stainless around the windshield is nice. I do have the two kick panels for the doors. If you want to make a fenderless rat rod this would be a good foundation because the cab and bed have a pretty good patina look to them. Engine is stuck but has good looking oil and still had anti-freeze when I pulled the heater out. Hasn’t been turned over in so long the fan belt rotted out the pulleys from moisture. The rear brakes were stuck so I had to torch the drums off; I saved all the other hardware. The truck now rolls freely and steers; tires hold air.

I can’t ship it but I can help load it on your trailer. $100 deposit due via Paypal within 3 days of auction end. Balance due in cash at time of pickup. Do not pay for whole truck via Papal. I can hold it for up to three weeks after auction ends. No international bidders. No bids with less than 10 feedback without contacting me first. Modest reserve in line with what similar trucks have been selling for. Truck is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. No warranties or any other guarantee. There is no title; this will be sold on a bill of sale only. Georgia does not title vehicles older than 1986. Thanks for looking, Jason; four 7 eight two three 3 three 2 nine 2.

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.

Ford pulling out of V8 Supercars after 2015

Tue, Dec 2 2014

Australian racing fans are staring down the end of an era as news breaks that Ford will no longer participate in the V8 Supercars series. Although the official announcement has yet to be made, the decision – as reported widely in the automotive press Down Under and in global motorsport publications Â– indicates that the Blue Oval automaker has already confirmed its intentions to its shareholders early on Monday to shut down its factory effort in the popular tin-top series at the end of next season. The move will mark the end of an era for what has become the International V8 Supercars Championship. Alongside GM's Holden division, Ford was one of only two manufacturers competing in the series from its inception in the late 1990s through last year when a change in regulations opened the door for entries from Nissan, Volvo and Mercedes. Further rule changes are expected to attract even more manufacturers to the series, with Lexus said to be first among them. Over the past eighteen seasons, the V8 Supercars Championship has been won in a Holden Commodore fourteen times, leaving Ford to win the title only four times with successive versions of the Falcon. Eleven of the cars on the grid this season were Commodores, compared to only seven Ford Falcons between two teams that will need to switch to another manufacturer for the season after next Â– although some could opt to stick with their Fords for one more season, even without factory support, until the open 2016 regulations take effect. The decision follows Ford's announcement last year that it will cease manufacturing in Australia by 2016, ending a 90-year presence Down Under that stretches back to 1925. Blue Oval models like the Falcon, previously unique to the Aussie market, are being replaced by imported models like the Mondeo and Mustang.
