I have a 1945 Ford pick up that I got from the 2nd owner (a family friend)-he had it since the early 1960's. his kids drove it to high school, then sometime in the late 70's the original flathead died and was removed. the truck sat in the barn unitl a few years back and then he had to push it outside to make room for another truck. He couldn't bear to let it sit and rot, so he sold it to me. I have too many projects and after buying it, I realized I don't have the time to invest in it.
condition-the truck is super straight. I'll start at the front and work my way back
the grille bars have a few bent ones, but look good and they are all there. the front fenders are straight and virtually rust free- there are a few really small bubbles of rust where the running board meets the fenders (pretty unnoticable and minor but it is there) the hood is great, the hood latch works. the hinges work without binding. the cab has one cab corner that has rust through-it is the size of an index finger about 3 inches by 1 inch. other than that it is great. dent free! there is a small drilled hole in the roof where a spot light was mounted (this was a GV-Government vehicle) there is no rot or rust around the 1/8 inch hole but again it is there so I don't want anyone to be surprised. the bed is surprisingly straight. the bed rails and front panel are in great condition. the stake pockets have a bit of rust through in the bottoms of each one. holes about the size of a quarter. the wood needs to be replaced. there is no tailgate. Running boards are really nice as well. the bottoms of the doors have some rust bubbles as well.
the inside of the cab is original, down to the key in the ignition. The guage panel is all there, the floor boards are great. the dash is great as well-a little rust on the defrost slat on the drivers side. the seat looks bad, but the springs have good bounce and a little padding and a seat cover or Mexican blanket and you are set to go.door panels are all present along with the handles which all work.
the motor is long gone (not present) the transmission is there with the bellhousing to hook up to a flathead 8. the rear end turns freely. stock steel rims, all four tires hold air. there is no drive line however. the underneath is solid, no issues.
black plate California truck. comes with a clean bill of sale. this is a honest representation of this truck. it is a great solid start for a restoration, hot rod, or rat rod. feel free to email any questions. you may have. a $500 deposit is due via paypal within 48 hours of the close of auction. the rest is due before the car leaves my house(within 1 week after the close of auction) the truck is in my driveway-I don't care how you get it but that is where it is and I cannot help transport in anyway. I will however make myself available to meet any driver or new owner at my house whenever they need to get the truck home.
Check out my feedback and you will see that I am an honest seller and a good ebayer.
good luck

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
2015 Ford Mustang dealer order guide surfaces
Tue, 13 May 2014Details about the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang continue to leak out. In fact, at this point, it's more of a stream than a drip. Its option prices are already available, and now the full ordering guide is on the web for all of the trims thanks to the Mustang 6G forum. Ford is rapidly running out of secrets to keep about its new sports coupe.
The 21-page guide can be perused in the gallery below and contains all of the standard features, colors, options codes, descriptions. Generally everything you might want to know about the 'Stang is there, other than its price or power. It even shows off the available wheel designs.
The guide finally gives away the contents of the Performance Package for the EcoBoost and GT trims. The EcoBoost's package includes: A larger rear sway bar, new chassis tuning, larger brake rotors, 19-inch black wheels, retuned driver assistance systems, an aluminum dash panel, added gauge pack, 3.55 limited slip rear differential, larger radiator, heavy-duty front springs and spoiler delete. When the options pricing leaked, it indicated the package would cost $1,995. If that is the case, it seems like quite a deal.
Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell revisit bitter F1 rivalry in... Ford Fusion campaign?
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Formula One World Champions Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell haven't been on good terms since the 1986 season, when Piquet joined Mansell at the Williams team and Piquet spent the year privately fuming about not being granted the status of number one driver. Things only got worse from there - even though Piquet won the title the following year with Williams, still partnered with Mansell, the fuming was a lot less private.
They're back together after a 25-year silence, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil to drive the new Ford Fusion. Called "Fusion Grand Prix," both men get the new Ford sedan, prepped to their liking - but still street legal, we assume - for a race to decide... well, who is faster behind the wheel of a Fusion.
There will be four episodes, with the first two having already aired. The third episode comes on January 29 and the race happens February 5. You'll find two video episodes and a press release below, but note - because it's a campaign for Ford Brazil, Piquet's dialogue in the vids isn't translated, so hit the Closed Captioning button to hear his side of the smack talking.
