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 vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.
Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year
Thu, 25 Jul 2013It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.
Spy shooter claims proof of upcoming aluminum Ford F-Series Super Duty
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford has already confirmed that the 2015 F-150 (pictured above) was just the beginning for its more extensive use of aluminum. CEO Alan Mulally said it himself during the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. We've even already seen the future Raptor testing with an aluminum body. But a recent discovery from an intrepid spy photographer might indicate that the lightweight metal is coming to the Blue Oval's Super Duty pickups in their upcoming generation, as well.
According to Automotive News, a spy shooter in Colorado spotted a prototype for the next-gen F-350 testing. He happened to have a magnet on hand and got close enough to check the truck out. When he held it up to the metal in the bed, it didn't stick, which signaled to him a switch from steel to aluminum.
Obviously, this claim raises some questions. Given that it was a test vehicle, one possibility is that the Blue Oval is just evaluating the feasibility of switching to aluminum for the Super Duty trucks, not necessarily committed to it yet. Ford has been testing it quite exhaustively, after all. In fact, much of the rest of the truck in question was covered in camouflage, so it's possible that the magnet failed to work along the rest of the body not because it was aluminum, but because it wasn't powerful enough to get through the disguising material. Thus, the lightweight metal's use could be far less substantial than on the new F-150. Still, it was a clever idea for the cameraman to check things out and might have given us the first hint about brand's next heavy-duty models.
