Mean 1950 Ford F-1 Rat Road With 383/727 Inside on 2040-cars
Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, United States
Up for sale is my 1950 Ford F-1 Rat Rod, which I bought 18 months ago on Ebay out of Florida. The truck is a true rat rod, with a rusted body and a solid, strong running engine. I am selling because I am relocating to China in 2014, and this will sit in a garage otherwise.
This is a true "what's under the hood" style truck, with a Mopar 383 (Block Forge #24681308, 10/21/66) and BB727 transmission out of a 1968 charger. The transmission is modified with a manual valve body (which means you need to shift 1-2-3 for those that don't know), and it shifts very well. This truck is also modified with power steering, converted 12V electric, edelbrock 600 carb, and a new beer keg gas tank bolted to the bed. Also has a cool flame thrower kit bolted to the exhaust, which is fun to play with at ice cream parlors. Since picking this up in the summer of 2012, I have had the power steering redone (the joints locked), the radiator replaced (old one leaked), the electric wiring redone (Frankenstein), the suspension tightened with new king pins, and the brakes overhauled. This truck starts up on the first try every time, and I have been driving it a few times a week (when home) to keep the fluids fresh. Again - this is not a show car, nor could it ever be (at least not for a reasonable cost) - the body panels are rusted, the wrong engine is in it, and... well there's a lot to list. There is a true rat rod in every sense of the word, and should be driven as such. This truck does come with a second box of parts, an additional (rust free) cab if you want to make the switch, and some wooden running boards I was going to install this winter. Truck is also listed locally so I reserve the right to cancel the auction if it sells. Thanks! |

RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.

And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.
