1940 Ford 1/2 Ton Pick Up Truck W/flathead V8 on 2040-cars

US $24,500.00
Year:1940 Mileage:99999
Location:

There can only be one new owner of this totally functional solid driver at this bargain price.

Impressive "driver".  Starts & runs very nicely, no smoke or overheating.  Lots of power/pep.  Starts with key, original toggle "ON" switch, & push button.  Second gear works fine, but catches a little once in awhile. 

Old or patina is the paint description (age cracks that are not letting go; mostly tailgate: see tailgate picture). 

Mostly solid minimal rust original.  Exceptions are 12 volt system & later year flathead V8.  Has new glass pack mufflers which gives it a nice rod sound, but not too loud.  The wood rails added to the bed top is done very nicely.

Rust free frame & over-all body.  Some minor areas need attention.  All glass is new  (both door windows roll easy ).  Doors open/close flush & firm; no drops/rubbing or squeaks.  Bed wood & metal retainers are good.

The interior is great with gauges working.  Interior dome light added & works. The cab floor & firewall have complete Ford aftermarket repro insulation installed (under rubber mat also).  One sun visor (as originally was equipped).  Wiper does work, but 6 inches & slow.  Steering wheel horn button works & an added ahooga horn with a seperate button, works.  All lights & directionals work (four way also).  The added "spot lights" on the left & right of windshield do not work & are for nostalgic finness? I guess they could be wired to light & then add blackout/shade out flaps (many of these trucks did their World War two civil service civilian attack watch duty)?    

This had a long time owner.  Always garaged in his ownership.  Clear Florida title. 904-881-3495.

Old Bronco's are going for $20k+.  Here is a pre WWII, most popular year/style, more than just novalty.  Drive as is, or make it a $40k piece of art.  So far, I've had a local decent cash offer & an even trade offer of a 37 chevy coupe hot rodded ($34k asking on window for sale; rack/pinion steer;  A/C; custom interior; rear air hydraulic levelers, etc).  These offerees have seen & drove the truck. 

This listing has been set to auto assign relist at end of this listing if not sold; same terms/price.  An automatic "accept" price has been checked in the "make offer" options.  This means if met, you could win & own unless a different bidder outbids @ last minute.

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
