You won't believe this truck! Rare 1 ton dually!

Bought at Mecum Auction in 2013 so I did not restore it. However, I will be glad to tell you what I see and have found out.

Serial # on the engine appears to be a match to the VIN # so I have a strong hunch this is the original motor. I took pictures of the serial # on the motor and firewall. You can see some of the last digits clearly match the VIN #. She starts the first time, almost every time. Has a starter advance and throttle on the steering wheel. The only add on that appears not to be original on the dash was a key that had been added to turn the battery on and off. I had to have an old guy show me how to treat her and start her. Once I mastered what she likes, she fires up for me the first time, every time. We start and run her once a week. I have always kept her in the garage and that appears to be where she has spent most of her life before me. I am currently burning marine fuel with octane boost in it.

Interior is in great condition. The seats and doors are done in a black woven material. Carpet is new and appears to be an insert. Windows and front windshield let down and out. Horn blows. Lights come on. Still kept the original 6 volt system.

Wheels are so cool! Seem to have a flat spot on them from sitting in the showroom because the ride is a little rough. Never drove her enough to have a problem with that. I mainly bought it as a prop for my business and then we decided to go a different direction with our advertising. 

Truck runs great! The little history we could find said the old girl sat in a showroom of a Ford/Lincoln dealership in Oklahoma City before it went to auction. It appears from the shape she is in, she was there for a long time because of lack of rust. There are a few surface scratches but that's about it. She got a scratch in her paint on the left front fender when it was transported to me in Mobile, Alabama. No dent, just had the paint scuffed. Wanted to point that out.

Bed appears to be made of stained, 2X4 and 2X6 pine boards. Great condition. Never hauled anything so I can't speak to function but it is very sturdy. Cab roof also appears to be wooden, covered in vinyl. Since I bought it after this was installed, this is just what I see. Floorboard is also wooden. From what I have learned after owning this vehicle, wood was used routinely.

This truck is such a solid old truck that I really wouldn't have a problem selling it to my own family if they had a need for her. Hate to part with her but I am moving and will no longer have the great garage to store her. It's kind of like parting with family.

See and hear how she runs in the following YouTube video we shot this morning:

Of course this vehicle is sold, as is, where is with all defects and faults. No warranty expressed or implied.

Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.

Ford offering emergency strobes on Super Duty trucks [w/video]

Tue, Apr 28 2015

If you're driving a Ford Super Duty, chances are you've got a job to do. It could be construction or maintenance, or it could be something big you're hauling, but either way, you may need to warn others in the vicinity that you're on the job. Which is why Ford is now offering strobe warning lights on its F-Series Super Duty trucks. The $700 option includes a pair of amber LED strobe lights on the hood (by the base of the windshield), another pair at the back on either side of the high-mounted stop light, and a trim panel with four switches on the center stack inside. The equipment can be factory-installed or dealer-installed after sale, are covered by warranty, require no drilling for installation (to reduce risk of corrosion), are programmable in different patterns and can be seen from up to a mile away at night or a thousand feet during the day.
