The story on that pickup has been floating around the net for a number of years.

It is a very nice, highly modified, and customized '47 pickup. It may have had some rare options when it left the factory, but I doubt if Ford or Anyone paid the sum of $800,000.00 fot it..... If that is the truth, then I have a really nice bridge over in the UK, I would be willing to sell them, and bargain priced, that ONLY the buyer of that pickup would understand.

I think someone's ZERO key got stuck on, when they were listing the price of that thing.

Are we sure this wasn't posted on April 1st?

I find it difficult to believe Ford would be intersted in such a highly modifed truck. And the price makes no sense whatsoever, even for a museum quality original piece. Perhaps the Henry Ford Museum would have been interested.

$800,000 plus a new F350 dually? Really? I doubt it.

For that price I hope they got the cheesy little model car sitting on the air cleaner.

But if its on the Internets and the Whirl While Web it must be true!!

Yes, this has been debunked earlier on another forum. No one paid that much for that truck. Its just more internet urban legend.

This was an April 1 article

live about 50 miles from Whitby. Have seen the truck in question. beautiful machine. there are as many stories about it as it has options. if i recall correctly, the owner had a magazine with a Ford add that showed the supercharger but i do not recall the add showing the other engine mods. Don't know if anybody ever authinticated the magazine and the add as being genuine.
