Nothing against the look of it or that it's electric, I just don't have a want or a need for it. And besides, I have enough ICE cars that I'm happy with.

No electric motors for me, I'm going to keep the SBC in my 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe.

Several years ago at Pomona I saw a '32 Roadster that, from a few feet away, just didn't look right. When I got next to it I saw that it had V-12 Jaguar engine. I asked the owner why a V-12 Jaguar, he said he owned a Jaguar repair shop, makes since now.

I’m happy with my mild 283 but I’d love those valve covers on the L76 327!

While I’m not an expert on UFO’s I did see one, confirmed by my wife who was with me at the time and by my two sons who were at home at the time, they even made drawings of it. I can tell you that is a UFO. Sorry I don’t know the Make/Model/Year.

40Ford · ‎09-07-2021

Short answer, NONE!

40Ford · ‎09-07-2021

About the start of the race, the article says, "Cars are released at the start line . . . ." How does he do that?

The transmission jack I bought from Harbor Freight had a chain, worthless so I used a ratchet strap. Mine also had sideways and forward/backward adjustments, very handy.

Ordinary people doing extraordinary things! Thank you for your service and all that you’ve done! The world is a better place with people like you!

I have no intention of buying another car/truck online or in person. But I do enjoy following unique and unusual cars and trucks on Bring A Trailer.

40Ford · ‎08-05-2021

Actually, they are torx screws.

40Ford · ‎04-05-2021

So they have graffiti in the UK too.

You know you're old when you read that the Mustang is 57 years old. 😞

Really, only 50-hp from 389.9-cubic-inch in the Inter-State?

40Ford · ‎30-03-2021

You should try AutoTempest, covers CraigsList and many other sites.

40Ford · ‎11-03-2021

Have you tried either of them on non-clear coated paint or acrylic lacquer? I'd like an answer to that too. Thanks in advance!

I bought my first car, a 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe, in 1964, I was 16 years old. In 1968 I was getting married, didn't have much money so I had to sell it. Having the cash helped a lot but I regretted selling it. Thankfully the regret didn't last long, in 1969 I found another 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe, yellow same as the first one. I still have it today!

40Ford · ‎03-03-2021

Beautiful!

If you're ever in the Thousand Oaks, CA area you should try to see the Malamut Vintage Car Museum 1121 Lawrence Dr, Thousand Oaks, CA 91320 http://malamutautomuseumfoundation.org Lots of "Bubble Cars" here, lots of other great cars as well as memorabilia!

Samantha is very impressive and, along with her father and the rest of the team I think that they can/will win Le Mans. Go Girl!

40Ford · ‎18-02-2021

The only one actual “truck” on the list, the 1937-1942 Ford pickups. I’ll be waiting for a listing of real trucks.

40Ford · ‎17-02-2021

I'll have to decide if I buy a new house in Arizona or one of these and live in it 😞

They didn't have air filters? (Last photo)

In 1980 I bought a brand new still wrapped in plastic in the original wooden crate 1974 Yamaha YZ125 from my local dealer. Loaded it in my truck, still in the crate, brought home and put it together. I don’t remember what I paid for it but with a wife and 2 kids money was tight so maybe $400. I was told that a dealer in Chicago had bought a lot of 1974 Yamahas from the factory, business wasn’t good, he filed for bankruptcy and the inventory was put in storage until the court settlement in 1980. My wife had a small motorcycle, kids were riding minibikes at the time and as a family we did a lot of trail riding on the weekends. I never raced it and took very good care of it, still looked new. Later we’re living in Colorado, my 2 sons racing motocross/supercross with Yamaha and local dealer sponsorship, as well a Scott, O’Neal and others. In 1984 our dealer wanted to buy my YZ125. He said Yamaha Corp was looking for the best 1974 YZ125 around to be put in the company lobby next to the new 1984 YZ125 for their “10 Years Of Progress” display. He never asked what I wanted just offered $2,000, sold! A couple months later he showed me a photo of the “10 Years Of Progress” display, very cool! Sad I didn’t get a copy of the photo.

The timing of this article is perfect! I'm going to be moving from Los Angeles to Bullhead City Arizona soon. I have a 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe, a 1958 GMC 100 long bed as well as my daily driver to move. Even with my sons help, his F-350 dually with a flatbed trailer, and a trailer on the rental moving truck I can't get all 3 there in one trip. The other day I saw a big pickup at the gas station, it said "transport" on the side. I asked what they transport, they said cars and trucks. Told them what I had, where it was going and they gave me a price on $900 for both the Ford and the GMC, less if I gave them advance notice so they had time to get something for the return trip. Sounds reasonable to me but I'm going to make a call to Gartho Logistics. Thanks for the tip Craig!

40Ford · ‎06-01-2021

None for me thanks, I'm just a cruiser in my 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe.

40Ford · ‎01-01-2021

Maybe everyone is hungover for New Years Eve. Just amazing what those guys do! I don't have that nice of a car even if I could afford their products.

40Ford · ‎31-12-2020

Or in the Los Angeles area.

40Ford · ‎29-12-2020

It's not my thing and even if it was it's way out of my budget.

In my teens, ’64-’65, parking cars at Hollywood Race Track I was told that the Spirit of Ecstasy on the Rolls was solid gold but it came with a fake gold one you could switch when you park in public places. Never did learn if that was true or not. Anybody know?

40Ford · ‎18-12-2020

I don’t know about all states but in Colorado, where my son lives, they are requiring them to install an underground tank to catch the dirty drain water. Dirt settles to the bottom to be pumped out and taken away, water on top drains to the sewer.

40Ford · ‎18-12-2020

Cold, salt, snow, what's that? It's not in my neighborhood!

40Ford · ‎18-12-2020

29 bids. Lot more interest than I would guess.

40Ford · ‎16-12-2020

This article was paid for by Ford. With a special thanks to Hagerty because, frankly, nobody else would run it. (Let's see if they cancel my account now)

In a few months I’ll be moving to the Kingman/Bullhead City area. Route 66 passes through Kingman AZ heading East. There are a couple of Route 66 Museums in Kingman, “Route 66 Just Do It”, “Arizona Route 66 Museum”, in the city, I’d like to see places like that along the route get some benefit from this.

40Ford · ‎14-12-2020

You said; “This range of years for the Ford pickup, from ’37 to ’42, covers two separate vehicle generations that we track (1937–1939 and 1941–1942).” Where’s the 1940 Ford truck? A third generation? I’d like one to match my 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe!

40Ford · ‎09-12-2020

Now that was a well written article! Thanks for the link!

40Ford · ‎09-12-2020

I'd guess that it sat for a long time out in some field and it got used as target practice.

40Ford · ‎07-12-2020

I was thinking $10,000 and under. I'm a poorer "Regular Joe".

40Ford · ‎07-12-2020

I have a big box full of them in the closet, I better dig it out and take a look at what I have. Fingers crossed!

I owned a printing company in Agoura Hills California for 20 years, sold it in 2008. During that time we did printing for the Haynes office in Newbury Park California. Not the manuals but everything they needed in the office, order forms, flyers, letterheads, envelopes, business cards, etc. On a few occasions making a delivery John was in the office, he always came out to say Hi and chat, nicest guy you could ever meet! He didn’t have a manual for my 1940 Ford but he gave me one for my 1998 Honda Accord.

40Ford · ‎05-12-2020

Maybe a couple of Honda V-6's instead. Quick, fast and a ton lighter.

Last new car I bought was in the late 80’s. Having just moved from Los Angeles to Colorado, with dirt roads to my house, I knew exactly what I wanted/needed, a Subaru Hatchback with 4-wheel drive. I called 3 local Subaru dealers, told them all the exact same think, “I want to buy a new a Subaru Hatchback with 4-wheel drive, no trade-in, I’ll pay cash.” Besides you I am calling 2 other dealers, telling them the same as I told you. Today is Monday, Wednesday I’ll call all 3 dealers and whoever has the best price I’ll go there and buy it. Easy sale if you have the best price! Wednesday I called all 3 dealers, the last one, the one closest to my house had the best price so I went there and bought it. When I got home there were messages from the other 2 dealers, they wanted to know why I hadn’t called them back. I called them back and said, “Dude, it was simple just give your best price and you would have the sale, but you didn’t have the best price so you lost out on a sale. Good bye and have a nice day!”
