1950 Ford Pickup

What would you rather have, a boring old Ferrari or this Ford pickup. Can you imagine the possibilities with this rig, move that old toilet off the porch, fill the bed with ice to keep your beer cold, steady your 12 gauge on the rails so you can shoot stuff.

Since this truck is so nice and sorted I can’t let it go for less than $24,000

1954 Ford F100

This super cool 1954 Ford F100 just came up for sale at the shop. At first glance the truck looks very good with good paint and trim, of course the next thing to look at are the floors and the cab corners which are both solid. The panel gaps are good and the floors seem to be in great original condition. This F100 has the appropriate 4 pointed star on the grill that indicates that it is powered by a 6 cylinder engine which is rare to find because so many have been converted to late model V-8 engines and automatic transmissions.

What always strikes me about these 1950s American trucks is their incredible simplicity, everywhere in the engine bay are basic and proven ancillary items such as the Holly Carburetor, AC fuel pump and Delco Electrical components. We are going through our normal process on cars that are new to us which include re-coring the radiator, rebuilding the generator and starter and replacing all of the brake components. We always overhaul the generators and alternators on old cars because it’s cheap and typically no one services these items until they fail. If it were an aircraft, you service components based on strict intervals so you don’t fall out of the sky, but on a car, the risk is much less as you roll to a stop on the side of the road which makes maintaining things like starters or generators less urgent. When we finish these projects, the truck will be driven and sorted so the next owner can feel confident when driving to the hardware store… and returning home.

Shots of ’47 Chevy Pick Up

We posted a shot of the 1947 Chevrolet Pick Up that we service a few weeks back, and our friend Bill Lockwood came by and took a couple pictures of it while it was in the shop. This 1947 was the first year of the Chevrolet Advance Design – the first post-war improvements benefiting consumers. This truck has a great looking paint job, a three speed on the floor, and excellent trim throughout.

Here is an outstanding 1947 Chevrolet Pick-Up, a great era in trucks because they look killer and can be driven around without being a total hazard since they can go 55 mph. We service a ’50 Chevrolet as well as this green ’47 which to me is the ultimate in classic trucks.

Ferrari Race Team

Not sure who owns these cars but they are the ones that were transported in the FIAT truck in the Ferrari team livery. The cars are in excellent condition mechanically but they are appropriately rough on the outside, a refreshing change to the glossy perfection that you typically see at the Cavallino. The Daytona that you see here was racing against a Michelotto 308 GTB on Friday for one of the best Vintage Ferrari races I have ever seen.

FIAT Hauler

This is a super cool truck, a former Ferrari team transporter that is now hauling some vintage cars.. The truck hauled a competition Daytona, a 750 Monza and a 275LM to Palm Beach International Raceway.

Some friends of mine out of Tennessee converted this retired Ford/Grumman fire truck into a car hauler. It has a 235 Caterpillar engine and goes right down the road. They have some great motor sports stickers all over the truck but are looking for more so if you have any I am sure they would like some more.
