Ford F1 Flathead 239 1949
General description :
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this sharp 1949 Ford F1 pickup. This F1 is powered by its original Ford Flathead 8-cylinder engine and mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. The odometer reads 56,483 and although there isn't documentation to prove this is the actual mileage, the drivetrain is numbers matching and has never been rebuilt. In our opinion, this truck drives way too well to be 156k miles and it hasn't been rebuilt per the owner. The Ford Bronze painted block definitely dignifies this block as a 1949 per Bill Hirsch of Newark, New jersey covering “engine enamels". This Sheridab Blue (year 1949-1954 Chip No. 174) is still in great condition with minor scratches and wear shown. The exterior is in fantastic shape with chrome bumpers, a wooden inlayed bed, fog lights, vent, white wall tires, and painted to match steel wheels with chrome hubcaps. This truck is still powered by a 6 volt electric system with a new battery. The current owner has had the truck for almost 10 years and it is been in the family before taking ownership. Recently the fuel pump, carburetor, master cylinder for brakes, brake switch, and steering box have been restored or replaced recently with receipts. Inside this beautiful truck is a blue vinyl bench seat with nice paint on the dash, clean and restored gauges, and even the manual shift on the floor. If you are looking for a collectors item or something that you can drive and enjoy, this is the piece of Ford History for you!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
