1928 Ford Model A Closed Cab Pickup ( aka Telephone Booth) with Willy’s Jeep 4X4 drive train. I bought this as a project several years ago but have now realized I will never finish it. The first picture is from when I bought the truck.

This truck is all original Henry Ford Steel except for the firewall and lower cowl panels which were replaced because they had been cut with a torch. I have removed the original gas tank to make room under the dash. There is NO rust on the body, fenders, doors, or bed. The fenders are clean with no cracks, dents, or splits, as are the doors and pickup bed. Running boards are rust free. There are 2 interconnected fuel tanks installed over the rear axle.

The engine is a 350 cu.in from a ’68 Camaro according to the block casting #’s. Rebuild .30 over with a mild Pro Comp Street cam, camel hump heads with 1.94 Intake and 1.5 inch exhaust valves, Edelbrock intake, and 4 bbl. carb. Custom exhaust manifolds.

Transmission is a rebuilt T-90 3 speed. Transfer case is a rebuilt Dana T-18. Rear end is rebuilt with 3.73 gears. I have the gear set to rebuild the front dif from stock Willys 5.38 to 3.73. New drive shafts front and rear.

The pictures speak for themselves. There are lots of new, still in the box, parts including Griffin radiator, Chrome radiator grill, wiring harness, VDO gauges, seat, Ididit tilt steering column, custom steering wheel, new power brake / clutch master cylinder set, New chrome alternator, electric fuel pump, headlight halogen inserts, new tail lights, steel floor panels, 4 brand new tires, etc.

All old parts were bagged and labeled. I’ve have over $20k in this project.

Brought from California and showing a CA DMV Serial #. I have a clear Colorado title showing this truck registered as a 1928 Ford Model A pickup.

The reserve is well below my investment cost. Please don’t waste my time with low ball offers.

Thanks for looking. Happy bidding.

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype sells for $7M

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
