RARE TRUCK!!! THIS TRUCK IS A 1952 FORD F1 WITH (AS FORD REFERRED TO IT AS) "THE DELUXE FIVE STAR EXTRA CAB PACKAGE" WHICH MEANS IT CAME WITH STAINLESS TRIM AROUND THE WINDSHIELD AND HOOD SIDES, (ONE HOOD SIDE TRIM MISSING), IT INCLUDED THE INSIDE CAB LIGHT WHICH IS STILL IN PLACE, A LOCKING GLOVE BOX WHICH I STILL HAVE THE KEY FOR, KEYED DOOR LOCKS ON BOTH DOORS, I HAVE THE KEYS FOR THOSE TOO, UPHOLSTERED DOOR PANELS AND ARM REST WHICH ARE STILL THERE BUT NEED ATTENTION, DUAL WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND DUAL SUN VISORS ALL OF WHICH ARE ON THE TRUCK, CIG LIGHTER, TWIN HORNS, FOAM PADDED SEAT AND EXTRA SOUND DEADENING MATERIAL THROUGHOUT THE CAB. IT ALSO CAME WITH A FACTORY INSTALLED GRILL GUARD WHICH IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND HAS KEPT THE GRILL AND HEADLIGHT BEZELS IN PERFECT SHAPE. BOTH DOORS OPEN AND SHUT WITH EASE, THE HOOD OPENS AND SHUTS NICELY BUT HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FINAL LATCHING. HOOD HINGES WORK GREAT.

THE TRUCK HAS A 239 V-8 FLATHEAD WHICH IS IN THE TRUCK AND COMPLETE.....NOTHING MISSING EXCEPT ONE PLUG WIRE. IT HAS A 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHICH SEEMS TO WORK GREAT...THE SHIFTER IS STILL ON THE ORIGINAL STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL TITLE FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AS WELL AS THE REGISTRATION PAPERS UP UNTIL AROUND 1968 WHEN IT WAS PARKED ACCORDING TO ONE OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS. I BELIEVE THE ENGINE WOULD RUN PERFECT WITH A LITTLE TLC.... I HAVE MARVEL MYSTERY OIL IN THE CYLINDERS AND AM SURE IT WOULDN'T TAKE MUCH TO TURN IT OVER AS THE ENGINE APPEARS TO HAVE NEVER BEEN LEFT OPEN OR TO THE WEATHER. THE ODOMETER SHOWS 11,000 MILES AND THAT MAY VERY WELL BE CORRECT. REAR END IS ORIGINAL AND ROLLS PERFECT.

AS WITH ALL 62 YEAR OLD TRUCKS IT HAS SOME RUST BUT IT'S REALLY NOT BAD AT ALL COMPARED TO MOST I SEE. THE LOWER FRONT FENDERS AT THE RUNNING BOARDS HAVE SOME RUST BUT I HAVE NEW PATCH PANELS FOR BOTH SIDES THAT GO WITH THE TRUCK. ALSO HAS SOME RUST ON THE FRONT FENDERS NEAR THE FRONT BUT SMALL PATCH PANELS WOULD FIX THESE EASILY. THE FLOOR HAS SOME RUST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY, BUT AGAIN NOT A BIG DEAL. THE RUNNING BOARDS AREN'T VERY GOOD BUT THERE IS A USED SET IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK THAT ARE SOLID WHICH ALSO GO WITH THE TRUCK. IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO BUILD A "PATINA" TRUCK, JUST FIX THE FLOOR BOARD AND LEAVE THE REST....IT'S COOL LIKE IT IS!!!!

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO ASK THEM. THE RESERVE PRICE IS FAIR BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE IT AWAY. THIS IS A RARE NICE TRUCK, SO BID ACCORDINGLY. IF YOU HAVE NO MEANS OF PAYING FOR THE TRUCK, PLEASE DON'T BID..... I'VE HAD MY SHARE OF DEADBEATS OVER THE YEARS... I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION AT ANYTIME PRIOR TO THE RESERVE BEING MET AS IT IS FOR SALE LOCALLY AS WELL....IF YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE A REALISTIC OFFER FOR ME TO END THE AUCTION PLEASE DO SO, BUT PLEASE DON'T ASK WHAT THE RESERVE IS.

I ACCEPT CASH IN PERSON, WIRE TRANSFER FROM YOUR BANK TO MY LOCAL BANK DEALING WITH BANK PRESIDENT, PAYPAL IF YA HAVE TO BUT WOULD RATHER NOT DUE TO THE FEE'S THEY CHARGE BUT IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE MOST COMFORTABLE WITH THAT WILL BE FINE, PERSONAL OR BUSINESS CHECK....BUT ALL FUNDS (REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY'RE MADE) MUST CLEAR BEFORE THE TRUCK LEAVES MY PROPERTY.... I'M AN HONEST MAN AND EXPECT THE SAME.....I ASK THAT THE TRUCK BE REMOVED FROM MY PROPERTY ASAP AS I DON'T HAVE THE SPACE TO STORE IT...THERE WILL BE A 30.00 PER DAY CHARGE FOR STORAGE FEE'S AFTER 3 WEEKS FROM SELL DATE UNLESS PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE..

NHTSA closes Ford F-150 EcoBoost acceleration probe

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Typically when we report on the findings of an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's because the government body has discovered a safety issue and prescribed a recall. In this case, however, NHTSA has closed an investigation into a reported performance deficit without ever getting to the recall stage.
The issue revolves around the Ford F-150 - specifically those equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine - of which some 360,000 were built in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. After receiving an initial 95 complaints, NHTSA opened an investigation last May - almost a year ago - into the reported issue of reduced engine power under hard acceleration. The agency has since received a total of 525 such complaints, and Ford itself reported receiving over 4,000.
Together, NHTSA and Ford determined that the problem resulted from cylinders misfiring, an issue itself stemming from water getting into the charge air cooler (CAC) mated to the turbochargers. In particularly humid or rainy conditions, water was found to get into the CAC, causing some of the cylinders to misfire, which in turn triggered the ECU to disable those cylinders in order to protect the catalytic converter from damage.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
