Up for auction is my 1946 Ford "rat rod" pickup.  This truck was purchased by me in June 2013 and it was my intention to upgrade the truck to my taste as I owned it.  Unfortunately a few weeks after my purchase my wife and I decided to separate.  Our divorce is now final so it's time to move it out of the garage and to let someone else enjoy it.  When I purchased the truck it was running and driving.  The motor was a mildly built 355 Chevy and the transmission was a Saginaw 4-speed mated to a Hurst ram rod shifter.  Since July I have already sold the motor, transmission, shifter, radiator, and drive line. These items will not be included in this auction.

What is included is as follows.  A 1946 Ford pickup cab and bed.   Both have a really nice patina that just gives this truck a badass look. Doors are included but the hinges have been cut off. Rust is present, as with any truck of this nature, but previous owner has made attempts to replace panels where necessary, mainly in the cab floor.  Bed does not currently have a floor in it but it is mounted to the frame as is the cab.  Frame is made from a 1930 model A Ford that has been z'd in the rear and has also had a new front end and brake kit from Speedway Motors installed.  This kit alone retails for $950.00  and to find out more info on what is included in the kit here is a link to the item on Speedway Motors.  http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Ford-Wilwood-Front-Brake-and-Steering-Kits-48-Inch-Axle,36236.html  Also up front is a set of fiction shocks and a vega steering box.  Frame has been freshly painted and shows no sign of abuse and the Small Block Chevy motor mounts are still present. Front grille also looks good as well as the front headlamps. Rear end is a 8.5 10 bolt from a S-10 with 3.54 gears installed, rear brakes are drum.  Rear wheels are 15x10 Cragar with Firestone Drag Slicks. Electric fuel pump is present but both fuel and brake lines have been removed.  All wiring from the truck has been removed because I was going to replace it with a kit from Painless Wiring that I bought from Speedway Motors.  I have since then returned this item.  Interior is bare bones to say the least.  All glass and gauges have been removed.  New seat sliders have been ordered but not installed.  Waiting for the new owner to decide his desired mounting location.  Steering column and steering wheel are both present with the steering wheel having a quick disconnect feature.  Clutch, brake, and gas pedals are included but have not been reinstalled at this time.  This truck will roll and steer but you will need to provide at least a 15 inch set of Chevy bolt pattern wheels in order to be able to load it onto a trailer.  This truck originally came with spindle mount front wheels which explains why I spent $1000.00 to put disk brakes on it. Truck will need completing. Most items that are installed are mocked up on the truck, so it would be in your best interest to check torque before final assembly on all bolts. I'm sure I'm forgetting some items so I would highly recommend anyone truly interested at this truck to view it before the auction ends.  Anything else I can think of or find laying around that goes with this truck will be included in the auction. This is a rat rod and a project on top of that.  So do not compare it to your wife's Camry or expect it to be flawless.  Work and money will be needed to complete it. All sales are final, with no warranty expressed or implied. Bid with confidence because I pride myself on my 100% feedback that I've been able to maintain for the last seven years.  This truck comes with a clear Indiana title.  Where my wife filed for divorce so soon after I bought the truck I never bothered putting it in my name.  Title has been signed by the previous owner, just waiting on whoever new buys it to add their name to it.  Prefer local pickup but shipping must be arraigned at the buyers expense.  Truck will not leave my possession until all funds have cleared.  No exceptions.  $250.00 non refundable deposit due immediately at auction end, balance to be paid in full within 7 days. This is a NO RESERVE auction so bid to win!  F.Y.I. Included at the end of the picture gallery is what the truck looked like when I got it and to show the potential it has.

Ford readying three-row Edge for China

Fri, Nov 21 2014

The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.

Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines

Sat, 23 Feb 2013


It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.
