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.

Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017

Sun, 15 Dec 2013

Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.

GM says it favors fuel-efficiency rules based on historic rates

Mon, Oct 29 2018

WASHINGTON — General Motors backs an annual increase in fuel-efficiency standards based on "historic rates" rather than tough Obama era rules or a Trump administration proposal that would freeze requirements, according to a federal filing made public on Monday. The largest U.S. automaker said the Obama rules that aimed to hike fleet fuel efficiency to more than 50 miles per gallon by 2025 are "not technologically feasible or economically practicable." The Detroit automaker said that since 1980, the motor vehicle fleet has improved fuel efficiency at an average rate of 1 percent a year. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV said in separate comments that the auto industry is complying with existing fuel efficiency requirements by using credits from prior model years. As a result, even if requirements are frozen at 2020 levels, "the industry would need to continue to improve fuel economy" as credits expire, it added, warning if the government hikes standards beyond 2020 requirements "the situation worsens ... without some significant form of offset or flexibility." Fiat Chrysler and Ford urged the government to reclassify two-wheel drive SUVs as light trucks, which face less stringent requirements than cars. A four-wheel drive version of the same SUV is considered a light truck. Ford backs fuel rules "that increase year-over-year with additional flexibility to help us provide more affordable options for our customers." GM's comments said it was "troubled" that President Donald Trump's administration wants to phase out incentives for electric vehicles. The Trump plan's preferred alternative freezes standards at 2020 levels through 2026 and hikes U.S. oil consumption by about 500,000 barrels per day in the 2030s but reduces automakers' collective regulatory costs by more than $300 billion. It would bar California from requiring automakers to sell a rising number of electric vehicles or setting state emissions rules. The administration of former President Obama had adopted rules, effective in 2021, calling for an annual increase of 4.4 percent in fuel-efficiency requirements from 2022 through 2025. GM has been lobbying Congress to lift the existing cap on electric vehicles eligible for a $7,500 tax credit. The credit phases out over a 12-month period after an individual automaker hits 200,000 electric vehicles sold, and GM is close to that point.

RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
