I am asked frequently where so many interesting bikes and cars we consign come from. Obviously one factor is the hesitancy of owners to engage with the general public. It is easier to let a car or bike sit then deal with potential issues that could arise finding a buyer. Discovering Automania LLC alleviates the second issue, we do what others do not want too. We present the vehicle with the thicken skin of forty years of doing just that, dealing with the public, 99.9% who are wonderful to meet and work with. It is that .01% everyone seems to want to avoid and everyone seems to dread. It is why we exist.

And so we are presenting this 1940 Ford 1/2 Ton Pickup. The truck was purchased as you see it today, a completed build, 32 years ago as a symbolic reward for the stress of being the CEO of a moderate sized company and the successes which had followed. It was another over estimate of time allowed by an intense work environment that left the truck undriven and finally brought to Grants Pass about twenty years ago, only to sit on a hoist along with the rest of an accumulation of cars and motorcycles.

Other than routine maintenance over these many years, nothing was changed or needed repair. The paint, which is extremely nice, is over 32 years old! The 350 Chevy Engine and 350 Turbo Transmission are the ones that were installed when it was purchased those many years ago other than normal service and oil changes. The rear end is 10 Bolt, it has a Mustang 2 Front End with Front Disk Brakes and Rack and Pinion Steering. There is Cruise Control and AC, but of note, there is no heater. Guess when it is snowing outside, it is better to find something else to drive…
