1940 Ford Hot Rod Rat Rod Shop Truck, all steel, real 1940 1/2 ton cab with a solid roof, back & cab corners, all body parts from Texas and Kansas, the firewall is uncut with original green paint, I built this truck 9-10 years ago & at that time everything was either new, rebuilt or in very good condition. I left all the dents etc. on the body to give it character. Slight rust at bottom outside of passenger door & drivers door & lower inside near hinge on drivers door , the only bondo is the right front fender at the top back where there was a large slice. The grille looks nice but has a couple of breaks like they all do.The box is from a 42-7(sides are the same from 1938-47) but I cut 3" out of the front panel(making it the proper 46" wide), & using the 1940 "V8" tailgate, new stake pockets on rear, new rear crossmember, new outer little box side supports moved forward 2" & real nice '40 rear fenders also moved ahead 2" to make it the original 112" wheelbase. Very nice original running boards. I installed this truck on a 1990 GM S10/Sonoma 2wd pickup chassis shortened to 112" wheelbase. Properly lowered with Belltech drop spindles, Belltech proper lowering shocks all around. New balljoints etc. all new power disc brakes up front & all new drum brakes on a S10 Jimmy/Blazer 3:78 rearend(4" wider than s10 pickup). The engine is a real good running late 70's 5.0l or 305 cu.in. Chevy V8 with stock large 2bbl. carb(no choke, needs a minute to warm up) & Hedman headers with dual exhaust, Cherry Bomb mufflers & SS V8 tips out the back, sounds really great, loud but not too loud with that perfect rumble. New rad with electric hotrod fan that comes on automatically from a sensor in the intake(and an override switch on the dash) & a mechanical fan as well, has never overheated & starts fine when hot. The transmission is a Gm Turbo 350 3 speed automatic that I had redone 2 summers ago($850). The wheels are Wheel Vintiques 15x8 rear & 14x6 front w/ 1941 Ford hubcaps & SS ribbed trim rings. The tires are real WWW radials p235/75r15 on the rear & p195/75r14 up front, all in great shape except the right rear, it has a slight rub all around where the w/w meets the b/w (cosmetic only) when I went through a very uneven entry to a field for a car show & the fender just scrubbed the tire. I installed a trailer hitch(2") & a Brizio Chromed Aluminum ribbed bumper that is removeable for your ball mount & wired the truck with a flat 4 plug. The interior has the stock seat recovered with white rolls/pleats & 3point seatbelts for 2 & black stock cardboard interior/headliner. The glass/ rubbers/channel fuzzies etc were replaced with 60's style green(bus) glass, clear on front, passenger door glass has 2 small cracks. The dash is original w/original paint, not cut up, gauges from 80's El Camino in original cluster, the oil, volt, temp & gas gauge all work. The speedo runs fast & is not accurate. I have probably put about 10,000 miles since I built it. Original heater works great with 12-6 volt reducer. The wiper will work just needs a vacuum line. I used a mid 80's Gm tilt steering column & a 15" Lecarra '40 Ford Deluxe steering wheel, both should be repainted. There is an Kenwood AM/FM stereo with boxed speakers behind the seat. The box floor lifts up to reveal/service the battery, gas tank etc & has a donut spare tire. This is a great looking/running pickup that is very easy to drive with power tilt steering & power brakes, working 12v lighter for your accessories, 2 cup holders working signals front/rear, low/high beams, working original horn, working emergency brake & never let me down, I am between Toronto and Niagara Falls Ontario & have been all over Southern Ontario, New York & into Michigan. Fly in, I will pick you up & you can drive it home. ** I am selling the truck & I am finishing my 1940 Ford Convertible. ** ** The ONLY Partial Trades would be the following ... ** > a '40/41 1/2 Ton Pickup/Panel Van project valued up to $5000-6000 > a Class B Motorhome/Camper Van(Roadtrek Etc.) Value of $5000-6000 Thanks Dave |

Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe revealed; Buick Envista, BMW M4 CSL driven | Autoblog Podcast #790
Fri, Jul 21 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder. After some banter, including the discussion of an excellent tomato sauce recipe, they get into car reviews. Greg has been driving the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, while John has been testing the BMW M4 CSL and Buick's new Envista crossover. There's lots of interesting news this week. Chevy revealed the 2024 Traverse with new looks, a new engine and on off-road(ish) trim. Hyundai gave us a glimpse at the wild styling of the next Santa Fe. Dodge might bring back the Stealth nameplate as an SUV, and that has implications for the Durango as well. Ford, after repeatedly raising prices, has turned around and significantly discounted the F-150 Lightning across all trims. The first Tesla Cybertruck has rolled off the line as a pre-production prototype. Finally, we reach in to the mailbag and help a listener decide what to do with cars for himself and his kids in this week's Spend My Money segment.

2014 Ford Fiesta gets fuel economy bump to 41 mpg
Fri, 07 Jun 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta is in showrooms now with refreshed styling and new performance ST model, but it's what isn't yet available that should help the Fiesta stand out from the growing crowd of subcompacts. Aside from the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost model coming later this year, Ford recently told us that a new Fiesta SFE trim level is on the way that should put the updated Fiesta at the top of its class for fuel economy.
The new Fiesta SFE will hit an estimated 41 miles per gallon on the highway when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission. The current listing on fueleconomy.gov shows the 2014 Fiesta getting up to 29 mpg city and 39 highway, but the SFE will get minor aero tuning and a recalibrated engine controller to help bump the highway figure past rivals like the Chevrolet Sonic and Nissan Versa - both of which top out at 40-mpg highway. There's still no word as to when the small 1.0-liter EcoBoost will show in the US, but Ford has indicated that engine's fuel economy isn't expected to be released until October.
Enterprise working with renter's insurance to cover $47k Mustang stolen from its lot
Sat, 11 Jan 2014There was more than a bit of public indigence following the recent story of Enterprise Rent-A-Car billing a customer $47,000 to replace a Ford Mustang GT Convertible stolen from a Nova Scotia lot. To recap: Kristen Cockerill rented the Mustang for two days, returned it to the lot on a Sunday and left the keys in a secure dropbox only for Enterprise employees to find the car gone the next day.
Despite Enterprise policies stating that customers are responsible for vehicles dropped on off-days, the company has admitted that the situation could've been handled a bit better.
In a recent statement, Enterprise has backed off the big-bill story, and claims to be working with Cockerill and her insurance company to resolve the issue. Further, the Enterprise general manager overseeing Nova Scotia has spoken with the harried renter, and apologized "for the way this claim was handled during the last few months."
