Seller states:
Hello, Have here a 1939 Ford Pickup. I bought this Truck less than a year ago with the intention of doing a “Rolling Restoration” on it and just cruising it around without breaking the Bank restoring it. Well, Plans changed after I bought a different project… So heres the low down; Truck is NOT restored and has never been restored. It has the 85HP flathead V8 that runs flawlessly. It does have a rear main seal leak. Has the three speed floor shift Transmission that jumps out of 2nd gear occasionally. It stops and steers remarkably well. Doesn’t wander all over the road. There is absolutely zero rust on the cab and front end. The bed on the other hand is in need of a bit of work. I would have to say that it is savable though. Previous owner put on new steel running boards. Only gauges that work are the oil pressure and speedometer.
I bought quite a few new part to install on it, but never did.
List of new parts: all new glass including windshield (tinted green), stainless steel mirrors (hinge mount), motor mounts, dual exhaust conversion pipes, speedway super 97 carb, electric fuel pump, blue dot tail lights and brackets, headlight conversion kit (quartz), speedway conversion bell housing to convert to a T-5 transmission with all new release shafts, fork and bearing, Low mile T-5 transmission, complete conversion clutch assy, window and inside door handles, new steel floor pan, rear main seal conversion kit with gaskets, 15×8 wire wheels that I had powdercoated Coca-Cola Red (NEAT), a used old school heater and glove box compartment.
If a person installed all these parts, rewired it and installed new rubber and weatherstripping, I’d have to say it could be driven just about anywhere you wanted to go. Truck has current registration in California. (I bought 1939 California Worlds Fair license plates for it but they are not the ones it is registered too. They just look cool)
1962 Daimler Dart SP250 vintage racer
[nggallery id=34]
Awesome British Race car with a 8 Cylindar Su carburated engine. I dig it a lot.
Seller states:beautiful 1962 Daimler SP250. A wonderful sports coupe with many upgrades to support its certification by VSCCA and VRG. We have all the original parts including the original number matching engine, windshield, bumpers and the sought after optional removable hardtop. You could have a ferocious street machine with a racing history or you could bring it back to the track.
I am not the man who built or raced this car so we can only have so much of a conversation about that. The Daimler was a regular at Lime Rock Raceway. The Daimler 2.5 liter V-8 hemi that was built to race was prepared by Tivvy himself of Tivvy Autocraft. Tivvy is one of the founders of The Vintage Racing Group and he builds fast cars. If you want to read about Tivvy look at britishracecar.com, put a slash after it with Tivvy Shenton-Jaguar-XK140.
At any rate this is one fast car. I have seen it give the Jags and big Healeys a serious run for their money.
The original steering rack was replaced with one from a Triumph TR and the original 48 spoke wheels were replaced with 64 spoke wheels. I have the originals. The engine was built by Tivvy at the cost of $11,000.00 and the car has had two races since then. It has not been raced the last two seasons and needs to be prepped to go back out there.
It runs great.
It is running on Jaguar e type SU carbs and the intake manifold was ported in and out. The Daimler uses a Jaguar 4 speed Moss box. Tivvy built the one-off bell housing needed. The rear axle is Sunbeam Tiger MKIII. The brake calipers have stainless pistons and use braided stainless lines. The car sits on Dunlop racing tires. There is a fuel cell in the trunk.
The roll bar is a custom bolt on type to ease a transition back to the street. I have the original windshield and the side windows with all of their hardware. I have the heater and other such add ons that were not needed or wanted while racing. I have a tonneau that fits the roll bar and the original tonneau. I have the original soft top.
