Up for bid is a fully restored 1956 F-100. My intention was to build a stock appearing 1956 F100. There are some things that I did update such as the steering wheel, headliner, seatbelts, firewall cover and some misc clamps/hardware. Although it is a factory equipped V8/automatic/big window, it now has a later model 292 y-block and an FMX transmission. Every nut, bolt, bearing,seal, etc. on the truck is either replaced or rebuilt. All glass and weatherstripping is new except for the rear glass (which is good). It has less than 30 miles since restoration. All suspension/steering components are new or rebuilt(including kingpins). Engine and transmission overhauled. New radiator, heater core, and blower motor. All wiring, lights, switches, relays are new.Starter and generator rebuilt. The bed and all its components are new except for the fenders. The body is all steel. The lower door panels,r/h cowl,fenders and r/h cab corner was with new panels from LMC. All fuel and brake lines are new, as well as the master cylinder. Carb(Motorcraft) was sent out and rebuilt. All bumpers, emblems, chrome and stainless are new except for the front/back window trim and drivers mirror. New tires, hub caps, and beauty rings (except the spare).Completely new exhaust system. The truck starts right up and runs incredible, however it drives like a truck that was made in 1956. Manual steering and drum brakes on a leaf spring suspension is just what you would expect. You are also pushing the limit at 75 mph. It has typical rattles and road noise because it was restored back to stock and that's the way they were. There are some very minor paint flaws as pictured. One is on the forward side of the driver's door and the other is visible when you open the tailgate. I will include the paint/clear to touch up. On the interior, there is a small tear in the (new) floor mat and about a 1/4" in the (new) seat cover. The paint/clear is outstanding but some parts like the inner fenders could use cut/buff if new owner wanted. Keep in mind this isn't a $30k paint job though. I have all receipts and a fully documented library of photos of the restoration. I have the clear title in hand, and in my name. Thanks for looking and please feel free to ask any questions.

Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
Project Ugly Horse: Part V
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
