1956 Ford F-100 on 2040-cars
Outlook, Washington, United States
1956 Ford F100 Pick Up.
Body/Paint: The body has all original steel with exception to the rear fenders, which are fiberglass, which are a little wider than stock. The body is in excellent condition. The only alterations to the body from stock is the dash with some slight custom work done as well as how the hood mounts, which is the slide type that works as it should. Also the tail gate has been smoothed. The paint is Sherwin Williams Hot Rod Red that looks excellent with a few repaired chips on the front of the truck. Ghost flames on front hood and fenders blending into the door using pearl. The build looks like only a couple of years old.
Interior: The interior is grey cloth and is super clean like the whole truck. Customized dash with VDO gauges. Speedo, tach, fuel (15 gallon), volt, oil pressure and temp. Stereo multiple CD player stored under seat with electric antenna. GM tilt with LaCarra steering wheel. Cold AC.
Running Gear: 454/500HP Chevrolet big block. 30 over with hardened internals, roller cam, Keith Black pistons, cast iron heads, Weind aluminum intake manifold, 850 cfm double pumper Demon carb, HEI ignition with manual fan. HD aluminum radiator. Runs cool. Lots of polished aluminum and chrome. TH 400 totally rebuilt with shift kit and 2500 stall. Custom driveline. The rear end is an 88 Corvette with 373 gears, posi. Power steering and brakes.
Suspension: The front end is a Valarie clip welded to the stock frame with a Corvette rear independent suspension. This is the reason fiberglass rear fenders were used to accommodate the width of the rear end as well as the tire size. Even though the fenders are wider they look stock with correct dimensions.
Bright work: Restored with stainless front and rear bumpers in very good condition and shows well.
Glass: Rear glass is original in very good condition with windshield and side windows replaced.
Exhaust: Stock exhaust manifolds with 2 ½ inch pipes with turbo style mufflers. Sounds awesome.
Brakes: 4 wheel disc brakes. Front brakes are Plymouth with rears Corvette.
Wheels/Tires: The wheels are Billet Specialties strip style with Toyo Proxies tires with only 3K miles. The fronts are 235/45 ZR 17. Rears are 275/35 ZR 18.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
