Amazing.....believe I saw a Pantera go at auction last year for $85-90K which 
only goes to prove that if you wait long enough someone with that kind of pocket 
change is going to buy your Pantera for a million bucks ;-]>

: 47 Ford Truck sells for $800,000.

Thesepicturesshow a 1947 ford 1/2 ton pickup truck from Whitby Ontario Canada 
that was just sold to FORD MOTOR COMPANY of Detroit Michigan USA for the sum of 
$800,000.00 plus a Ford F 350 dually truck.
This truck, according to Ford records, is one of only 35 that was ordered and 
built in 1947 with factory installed...McCulloch water cooled supercharger, 
special carburetor, special very low profile air cleaner for the McCulloch due 
to hood height problem when installed intake has lower carb mounting height 
'special supercharger intake', (see above air cleaner )Edmunds finned aluminum 
heads, Fenton cast iron headers, factory dual exhaust.
OTHER OPTIONS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED ON THE TRUCK sliding rear window, installed 
outside sun visor, vacuum powered dash fan, factory compass, ashtray, smokers 
kit, locking steering column, dome light, inside sun visors, fog lights bumper 
mounted, some form of factory cruise control with knob & wire in dash.
This truck was started being restored by Dave Hill, Dave and his father Len 
purchased this truck from the farmer who was the ORIGINAL OWNER, who ordered it 
equipped as it is, new in 1947.
Dave has added his own custom touches like the early luggage rack metal box in 
pickup bed rear, blue dot twin taillights and other details. Metal covered spare 
tire cover.
What makes this truck so rare and valuable?
As one of ONLY 35 documented originally built, it may be the only remaining 
original numbers matching example that can be authenticated and was by a team of 
Ford museum employees before the offer and the purchase was made. Apparently 
there 'might be' two other survivors that are in pieces and cannot or have not 
been authenticated.
