I purchased the Ford F1 from a friend who had it stored in his garage for roughly 30 years.  The truck was complete but in pieces and in need of paint and body work.  I went through the entire truck mechanically and finished the outstanding body work.  The truck was sprayed with Summit Racing's Single Stage Acrylic Urethane in my garage.  This is 1940's technology with original drivetrain and suspension, so 50 MPH is about the limit.  Everything works and I added safety features such as LED head lights, seat belts, and modern door latches.  The Ford is offered for sale to make room for my next project.

This is a great find for anyone interested in a 1940's driving experience or for someone looking for a clean starting point for a retro-mod.
