1953 marmon. the chassis (rear end, transfer case, transmission, engine, frame, front end, etc) are all 100% original to the truck. this was purchased on the pine ridge indian reservation in the early 80's. this has an almost perfect 1954 body with the original grille from a 53. the body is close to perfect. it had a rust out spot between the driver's door and fender. this was professionally repaired. here are the problems: the right front axle was broken. I had a machine shop fabricate a stub and it is currently installed to make a perfectly drivable truck. it needs a windshield and side window. it also needs a steering column. (I have located one out a 53 f-250 in cody that I will get if needed). this has all the body work done and is close to being able to paint. I have the original wheels that go with it. I also have the spare. this makes a total of 5 original wheels that go with it. it also has the original rear wheel spacers that are almost impossible to find. these are split rim. the engine is the original 53 flathead that was in it. the block was boiled and checked for cracks. the crankshaft was ground 10 under and have new pistons. the motor will have to be honed, otherwise all the engine parts, including a couple of carbs are all included. also have a new gasket kit and bearings for the engine. the frame is in excellent condition. the body had about 63,000 miles on it when it was purchased in eastern south Dakota and the original marmon had under 17,000 miles when the axle was broken (not a misprint) I have all the trim, inside and outside and the original marmon 4 wheel drive metal plaque that goes on the dash. TO ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS THAT I GOT: I had a question as to why I did not have more photos, the reason is I have two big block engines in front, as well a 1935 dodge truck and two motorcycles, as well as a barber chair, etc, stuffed into my garage. those of you who are married can now see the problem. I will be more than happy to move anything that needs to be moved to take photos of any area that is requested. it has the original spare tire carrier. the front of the box that is usually mashed is perfect, again, it may have been a mistake to put a 54 body on a 53 truck, but the body was close to perfect. actually the 53 body had almost no dents, but had more rust that I did not wanted to deal with. I have the door handles. the bench seat is in very good condition structurally, but needs a new cover put on it. the floor pans had absolutely no rust on them. yes, all of the split rim wheels are original to the truck. the brakes are all new, as well as the master cylinder. the wheel cylinders have also had kits put in them. if a steering column is needed, I have access to one and it will be at no additional cost. the entire body and box were removed, the frame was cleaned and painted and put new cab mounts kits in it when it was put back together. I also have the original paint codes for the wheels, body, and grille. the body was Sheridan Blue. thanks and please feel free to ask any additional questions. the bed is close to perfect and does not have all the rust and dents that most of these have. the main reason I bought this body, is that the bed was close to perfect. I have made a pine bed for it, but oak was original and probably should be made of oak. it needs completely rewired. all the gauges are there, including the original speedometer with the correct mileage showing. it kinds of pains me to sell this, but I am in the process od restoring 2 other cars and 2 motorcycles and something has to give. please feel free to e-mail or call at 307-899-0776 with any questions, thanks. I will add revisions to this listing as questions are asked. this has a clean south Dakota title and can be inspected at any time in cody, Wyoming. additional photos of specific areas will be provided. call and I will send additional photos, as this site does not allow use of the dreaded e-word, thanks. whoops, forgot to respond to the other question: these are actually f-250 running boards, not the 1/2 ton ones that are normally added onto. |

Ford EcoBoost smashes records at Daytona
Thu, 10 Oct 2013Some mighty machines have lapped the banks of the Daytona International Speedway over the years: thunderous V8-powered stock cars, Le Mans-conquering Group C prototypes, open-wheel Champ Cars, knee-dragging superbikes... heck, the infield lake has even hosted powerboat racing. But this - this is the fastest car ever to lap the legendary raceway.
What you're looking at is the new Daytona Prototype being prepared by Riley Technologies for the new United SportsCar Championship. The car, released just last week, is powered by a new 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 from Ford's EcoBoost family, and just obliterated the top speed at the track with a blistering 222.971 miles per hour through the traps.
That's enough to annihilate the previous record that was set, also under Ford power, by Bill Elliott while placing his Thunderbird on pole for the 1987 Daytona 500 that he would go on to win. His 210.364 mph record had stood for 26 years until now.
Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta
Tue, 17 Jun 2014The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
Britain orders 10,000 ventilators from F1/McLaren/Mercedes/Ford/Rolls-Royce/Airbus
Mon, Mar 30 2020Paramedics and ambulance personnel get instructions from a command unit outside London's ExCel Centre arena, which is being turned into a 4,000 bed temporary hospital called NHS Nightingale to deal with coronavirus patients. The hospital is due to open Monday, March 30. / AP Â Â LONDON — Britain has ordered 10,000 ventilators from a consortium of leading aerospace, engineering and Formula One racing companies which will start production this week in response to an urgent government call for industry to help save lives. The 27-strong team, including Airbus, BAE Systems, Ford and Rolls-Royce, have joined forces to ramp up production of a ventilator made by Smiths Group, which supports those with complications from COVID-19. The consortium, which also includes seven Formula One teams including McLaren and Mercedes, home to World Champion Lewis Hamilton, said they had pulled staff off existing projects to meet the national need. Some 1,228 people have died from coronavirus in the United Kingdom and a senior health official said on Saturday the country would be doing well if it manages to keep the death toll below 20,000. "This consortium brings together some of the most innovative companies in the world," Dick Elsy, the head of the consortium, said in a statement. "I am confident this consortium has the skills and tools to make a difference and save lives." The United Kingdom, which initially only had 5,000 ventilators available in its National Health Service, has been trying to secure additional supplies after realising it needed 30,000 to cope with the peak of the outbreak. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is now in isolation in Downing Street after testing positive for coronavirus, made an emergency appeal earlier this month for manufacturers to retool their production lines and start making specialist health equipment including ventilators. Britain now has about 8,000 ventilators, with another 8,000 on order from international manufacturers that are due in coming weeks. Last week it placed an order for a newly-designed model from the vacuum cleaner company Dyson that will need to be approved by the health regulator. Mercedes part of a separate effort, too Separately on Monday a second consortium including Mercedes Formula One and other F1 teams said it had developed in less than a week a new version of a breathing aid that can help coronavirus patients.
