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 lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.

eBay Find Of The Day: 1988 Saleen Ford Mustang General Tire 21R race car

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

Saleen may be making headlines these days for working on the Tesla Model S, but its history and bread-and-butter is all about the Ford Mustang. The rear-wheel-drive Dearborn pony cars singlehandedly put the company on the map in the '80s. Founder Steve Saleen was already a talented American racing driver when he started the venture, and like many auto industry businesses before him, Saleen went to the track to prove his vehicles' worth. Now, there's a chance to buy one of those early racers on eBay Motors.
Saleen Mustangs raced in the Sports Car Club of America Escort Endurance Championship - a series of multi-hour races meant to challenge man and machine. Ostensibly a showroom stock class, the cars had larger wheels, tuned suspensions and other upgrades that stretched the concept slightly. Saleen found major success though, taking the championship for its class in 1987 and winning the 24 Hours of Mosport consecutively from 1986 through 1988.
According to the seller, Saleen only built eight of these cars, and this one carries the #21R serial number. They all started life as new Mustangs from Ford dealers but were immediately stripped and prepped to go racing. Beyond obvious mods like a roll cage, they featured eight-inch wide wheels in front, an inch of additional track width, stiffer suspension bushings and much more.

Enterprise working with renter's insurance to cover $47k Mustang stolen from its lot

Sat, 11 Jan 2014

There was more than a bit of public indigence following the recent story of Enterprise Rent-A-Car billing a customer $47,000 to replace a Ford Mustang GT Convertible stolen from a Nova Scotia lot. To recap: Kristen Cockerill rented the Mustang for two days, returned it to the lot on a Sunday and left the keys in a secure dropbox only for Enterprise employees to find the car gone the next day.
Despite Enterprise policies stating that customers are responsible for vehicles dropped on off-days, the company has admitted that the situation could've been handled a bit better.
In a recent statement, Enterprise has backed off the big-bill story, and claims to be working with Cockerill and her insurance company to resolve the issue. Further, the Enterprise general manager overseeing Nova Scotia has spoken with the harried renter, and apologized "for the way this claim was handled during the last few months."
