1956 Ford F100

Short Bed

Sometimes you get the chance to find some well preserved trucks. And sometimes you get to find some that are just amazing. This is the amazing one. So I thought I would test the waters and see if there was anyone interested in it before I start in on it. The truck from what I have learned belonged to a gentlemen in California who owned an old oil business back in the day. He ordered it with this custom color for his business. The truck was in the CA desert its entirety and was built in the San Jose plant. The vin plate has the letters "SS" stamped in the color section. That means special order from the factory. The truck is almost all original. It has never been painted and does not have any cancer. In fact, it is very straight except a little fender bender that any collision shop with the right tools could help pull out. It still has the spare tire under the bed and the beds strips are usable if you wanted to keep that original patina look that is very popular. The interior is in good shape for it's age and the dash is uncut... The chassis has not been chopped and it is all original. The only thing that was changed recently by an excited owner that I bought it from was the motor. It came with a 223, but now has a good running 390 Engine and 4 speed trans. The motor runs good and the brakes work as well. He left the linkage on the steering column in case you want to go backwards. The motor seems to have lots of power. And the install was clean. Not hacked up. If you have any questions please call me or send me an email. Jason 480-619-8353 I have owned probably 30 of these trucks and have loved them all but one. :)

Thanks for looking, The truck is currently in Arizona.

If you are a zero bidder, please contact me before bidding. I will cancel your bids if you don't qualify yourself upfront.

And although this is a running driving truck, I can't guarantee it will drive across the country or even 50 miles across town. So please make arrangements to have it shipped if you buy it. I also have tried to describe the truck to the best of my ability. I strongly recommend that you call or email me with your questions so that you are not confused at what you are getting. There is NO WARRANTY expressed or implied. Buyer buys it AS IS.

Auto investor Kirk Kerkorian dead at 98

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Kirk Kerkorian, among the most talked-about investors in the American auto industry in recent memory, died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The billionaire ran the investment company Tracinda Corp. and was the largest shareholder in MGM Resorts International. Kerkorian attempted to use his power as a well-financed investor to push the auto industry in some fascinating ways. In 2006, he used his nearly 10-percent stake in General Motors to push a merger with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The deal made it as far as discussions, but eventually fell through. Kerkorian also attempted to purchase Chrysler - twice. According to Automotive News, the first effort came in 1995 with a $22.8-billion offer for the automaker, and soon after it failed the company merged with Daimler. Then in 2007, Kerkorian was back with a bid for $4.5 billion, but things eventually fell to Cerberus. The billionaire finished the trifecta by buying up $1 billion in Ford stock in 2008 to make Kerkorian the single largest investor in the company. However, the situation didn't last long, and by the end of that year, he had unloaded the shares. According to Automotive News, Kerkorian was ranked by Forbes as the world's 41st richest man in 2008 with a net worth of $16 billion.

Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.

Ford recalls 200,000 vehicles for brake lights that won't turn off

Wed, Jan 19 2022

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced a new recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles because their brake lights may not turn off. Drivers of affected vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions may also be able to shift the vehicles out of Park even when their foot is off the brake. That increases the risk of a rollaway and could cause a crash. According to documentation posted on NHTSA's recall hub, a separated brake pedal bumper is to blame for the issue. The recall applies to "certain 2014-2015 Fusion, Lincoln MKZ and 2015 Mustang vehicles originally sold or ever registered, in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Hawaii." The safety regulator adds that "exposure to certain environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity and salt air can cause the brake pedal bumper to disintegrate and separate from the brake pedal." Owners of affected vehicles should expect notification of the recall in early March. They will be directed to the dealership of their choice to have their brake pedal bumpers and clutch pedal bumpers replaced free of charge. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
