Up for auction is a great start to a 1946 Ford Pickup restoration project. The Truck retains its original flathead V8 and 3 Speed manual transmission that were rebuilt by the previous owner. I pulled the plugs and it appears that the engine only has assembly lube in it and has not been fired since the rebuild. It turns freely by hand. The same goes for the trans. We pulled the shifter cover and plate off and it is extremly clean and gears appear to be new. We cleaned and painted the exterior of both of them and re-installed. I do not know much about the flatheads so I am not attempting to make it run. It is complete minus exhuast manifolds from air cleaner to oil pan. The chassis is in great shape. It has had new king pins, springs, and steering parts placed. The original shocks were cleaned and re-mounted but not hooked up. It was also sand-blasted and painted. The cab is original sheetmetal. as are the doors fender and hood. All super solid, they recieved minor body work, primed, and painted with a single stage urethane paint. The fenders were done the same but left in a satin black finish. The bed comes with the truck but will need fairly extensive repair, it is not rusty but has obviously been used as a truck in its day. The rear fenders are nearly beyond repair but also come with the truck. I was going to make it a flatbed so none of this was going to be needed anyway. Also coming with the truck is an extra complete rear end and most of the parts to finish up the truck. All of the rubber seals in the cab, weatherstripping, etc. have been replaced with new. New heater hoses, the heater box was gone through and yes it does work when hooked up to a battery. The wiring harness appears to be new or an unbelievable original. New tail lights, plexiglass windows, and hoses. I also have new faces for the gauges in all the receipts for the new products. What it pictured is what you get. I have a clear title in hand. Call or text for more info 765-376-3486 Thanks and happy bidding!!

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.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.
