Up for auction is a nice, clean, original, 1947 1-1/2 ton Ford Truck with a flathead V-8 with 28,086 original miles, 4 speed tranny, and like new tires, straight off the original farm where it spent it's entire life. It' pretty much original except for one re-paint. No frills, pretty simple truck from simpler times. It's pretty much get in and go, this truck looks and drives like it's actually less than 10 years old, not 66 yrs old, runs great, we drove 2 hrs. on a major highway to get her home and it ran flawless. I documented any flaws in my pics, but I'm going to lay them out so as to represent the truck as best as I can, nothing major, but I'm an honest seller and want you to know what I know, and see it like you were here. There is a chip in each fender, about 1-1/2 inches each, a few of the windows have small cracks, the driver side door has a crack in the paint at the bottom of door, due to a repair, most likely from rust, as these doors were prone to rustain as water ran down the window and collected in the bottom of the door, draining poorly, I would say the door needs a patch panel and a repaint to make it perfect, form 10' away it looks good, the headliner in these trucks are cardboard, and are known for mice building nests in them, well, one did, and ate a 3" hole in it, repro headliners are about 50 bucks, the passenger side door is locked shut and I have no key for it, the rubber floor mat has a few small wear holes, and that's abt. it, pretty cut and dry, as I said, nothing major, but wanted to run them thru for you so you can pick anything out in the pics and know what you are bidding on. As I said, nice , clean, 28,000 original mile truck, that looks and drives like it's 10 yrs. old, daily driver, car shows, tow vehicle for you street rod, parades, hay rides, apple picking, historical, museum interests, even advertising your businesss, this truck turns heads, and every one that sees it loves it. Good luck bidding !

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24
Tue, 01 Oct 2013It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.
Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
