1956 Ford F100 "effie" Hotrod, Ratrod, Streetrod, Classic, Project, Cruiser on 2040-cars
Liberty, Indiana, United States
You are looking at a way cool 1956 Ford F100 "Effie". This truck is very fun to drive and drive it I do. I bought it not long ago to have something to drive while I work on my 1950 Austin Devon Streetrod. But now the cash I need to finish my Austin is tied up in this truck. I was fine with that in the begining, but now, not so much. If it doesn't sell, my busy time this spring will generate the needed revenues to finish the Austin, but I'd just as soon finish the Austin over the winter instead of next summer. This truck has the Volare front and rear, disc and drum (I will still get someone asking that which I just answered), they are power brakes. It has a Chevy 350/350 combo as well. It runs cool and runs very good. Stops as it should and takes off with gusto, but I'm a cruiser so it hasn't been abused. I didn't build it and have done very little since buying it. I added peep mirrors, the babymoons, and a little red paint here and there. The rockers are solid (see pics), the bed is excellent (see pics), the body is well, cool (see pics). All the lights, turn signals, brake, high and low beams work. The heater is very good, so drive to the late season stuff in comfort. The gas tank has not been moved, I would do that eventually for more cab room. It has some gauges in it but they are hard to read. No gas gauge, and no speedo cable (I use my GPS for speed), No wipers (Rain-X) and the ciggy but lighter works. It has tilt wheel, am/fm CD, and you see that odd green running board, it doesn't really go on this year truck, BUT I have the correct one in great shape to replace it. Questions? Seven-Six-Five, Nine-Nine-Four, Zero-Four-Eight-One Text or Call, after 6pm EST. Tires are in excellent condition, all glass intact and great except for a small crack in drivers vent glass. It is what it is, a cool truck that you can drive, do some rattle can paint trick to, of use it for the base for some high dollar trophy hunting "look at me" thangy. Whatever floats thou boat....Thanks for checking out my listing. I'm on the Indiana/Ohio line about and hour north of Cincinnati, come check it out if you'd like. Thanks again, John Sorry, I can't use any trades, and no I didn't do a "But it now" because that's when they get cha $$$. Phone number is above or shoot me an email thru the "Send Seller a Message". Auction could end early and you know why, don't you..... PS. If you are as frustrated about eBay's new search mode in eBay Motors as much as I do, scroll down on your home screen and hit "share your thoughts" (or whatever it says), what a feaking joke!!!! You should NEVER let anyone who doesn't acually use your product DESIGN it!!!! Clearly these compu-file yeahoos only shop for specific iPhones and not cars, unless it a ^%$$ Prius. On Oct-29-13 at 06:51:59 PDT, seller added the following information: I had a question from a watcher/looker/potential bidder that took the time to read the description and look carefully at the pics, he asked about power steering. YES, it does have power steering. Great question, my oversight for leaving it out. As of this moment 9:48am EST 10/29/13 80 Watchers and rising..... |

Ford 1.0L EcoBoost 3-Cylinder: Autoblog Technology of the Year award finalist
Wed, 19 Nov 2014As the old saying goes, "There's no replacement for displacement." But these days, many automakers are launching powerful, downsized engines that offer similar or better power output than their predecessors, all while offering improvements in fuel economy and emissions. These days, we're seeing automakers replacing eight-cylinder engines with turbocharged sixes, and the naturally aspirated six-cylinder motors are being phased out in favor of potent turbo fours. But Ford has gone even smaller, offering a three-cylinder, turbocharged engine with one single liter of displacement.
Sure, three-cylinder engines aren't anything new - they've been offered around the globe for ages. But Ford's EcoBoost 1.0L powerplant is perhaps the best application the Autoblog team has tested. Gone are the triple-cylinder complaints of yore - this engine doesn't sound anemic or buzzy, and there's healthy power output on tap. In fact, compared to the 1.6-liter inline-four that Ford also offers in the Fiesta, the 1.0-liter is more powerful, while boasting an impressive 45 miles per gallon on the highway.
This engine has already received numerous accolades, including winning the International Engine of the Year award in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The 1.0L EcoBoost will be available in the refreshed 2015 Ford Focus here in the US.
Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock
Fri, Jun 12 2015Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.
