1956 Ford F100 I've owned several '56 F100's over the years and this is by far one of my favorites. I purchased this from an elderly gentleman in Salt Lake City who had an extensive restoration done on the truck back in 1994-95. He had most all of the work done professionally. Once restored he drove it on an occassional Sunday afternoon and took it to local car shows. Up until I purchased it last summer it sat in his garage for the better part of the last 10 years and was started regularly and looked after by his son. Since purchasing it I have made several changes to my liking to turn it into what you see today. Recent upgrades/changes include: NEW Aluminum Radiator Tune-up Brand NEW BFGoodrich T/A Radials all around Brand NEW Cragar "Steelies" Chrome Wheels w/Moon Caps from Summit Racing Sanded and refinished the CHERRYWOOD bed panels Added "Shorty" rear bumper brackets Added NEW spare tire cover All NEW hood emblems and step plates from Vintage Ford Brand NEW custom made and professionally installed interior (seat upholstery and door panels---great quality and workmanship) Running boards freshly painted to match Cranberry Red body color (they were originally black) I'm probably forgetting a few things, but that about covers it. The truck runs great, drives great, and shifts through all gears properly and smoothly. Mechanically it is very solid with no fluid leaks. The engine is the ORIGINAL 272 CID Y-block V8 with the original "3 on the tree" manual transmission. Both the engine and the transmission were rebuilt when the truck was restored in '94-95. Very few miles have been put on the truck since the rebuild/restoration. The truck drives straight down the road and the brakes work great as well. All of the glass is in perfect condition (no chips, cracks, or scratches) and all window seals are new. The interior shows beautifully and the combination of the black upholstery, red dash/metal, and white headliner is sharp looking. All body panels line up as they should and the doors shut and open nicely. New door latch hardware was also installed on both door jambs. The interior looks and smells new. The Cherrywood bed looks amazing next to the Cranberry Red paint. All chrome is in fantastic shape. The pictures show just how nice this '56 is. I know the new owner will be very pleased. There is no rust or rot anywhere on the truck. I would rate the paint a solid 9 out of 10. The only reason I wouldn't give it a 10 is there are a few small paint "nicks" here and there that happened while it was stored that have been touched up. They're small enough that they wouldn't show in pictures. It shows very respectfully and will draw a crowd and compliments at any show. Feel free to ask any questions before bidding. I'm happy to give my phone number to serious buyers to discuss the truck. Please only bid if you have the finances in order to complete the purchase. It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, this is a 58 year old vehicle and as such is an "as is" sale with no warranties expressed or implied. Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements but I will help all I can on my end to make it go smoothly for your transport. I have used several shippers in the past that I've been very pleased with and can recommend them to the buyer if needed. Good luck and Bid to Win !! |

Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013
Wed, 24 Apr 2013As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.

2015 Ford F-150 brings big aluminum to the Rust Belt [w/video]
Mon, 13 Jan 2014Just when you thought you'd figured the fullsize truck market out, Ford goes and throws us a massive curve ball with the 2015 F-150. The big headline news aren't tow or payload ratings, though we're sure those figures will be fully competitive if not class leading, they haven't yet been announced. Instead, the big headline news Ford is highlighting are the truck's new aluminum-intensive structure and 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
And with good reason - all that aluminum means that Ford was able to cut a massive 700 pounds from the truck's curb weight. That is going to cause all sorts of great things to happen to the 2015 F-150's driving dynamics, performance and fuel efficiency, not to mention its ability to haul heavy loads. For those customers worried about the strength of aluminum versus the more conventional steel, Ford is quick to point out that many military vehicles, such as the HMMWV and Bradley Fighting Vehicle, use a very similar sort of aluminum alloy in their construction.
It's also worth mentioning that the backbone, a fully boxed ladder frame, is hewn from high-strength steel. Ford says "2015 Ford F-150 is the strongest and most durable F-150 ever," for what it's worth, claiming that "torture tested" in labs and in the real world for more than 10 million miles. What's more, the truck, in disguised form, completed all 883 miles of the Baja 1000.
2015 Ford Mustang fuel economy ratings leaked
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Thinking about buying a new Mustang, but want to know what kind of fuel economy it'll get? Well we have our first indication as the pony-car enthusiasts over at Mustang6G.com have gotten a hold of the Monroney window stickers for a few of the new 2015 Mustang models.
Although the V8 model is not among them, we can now see how the EPA has rated those models with a half dozen pistons or less. The Mustang EcoBoost with the turbo four and a manual transmission has been rated at 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 on the highway. The V6 manual gets 17 city and 28 highway, while the V6 automatic squeezes out a bit more in the city at 19 mpg but carries the same 28 highway rating.
By way of comparison, the latest Chevy Camaro with the V6 and a stick shift gets the same 17/28 EPA rating as a similarly equipped new 'Stang, and the V6 automatic Camaro gets 18/27 (slightly behind the Ford, but if you opt for the Camaro 2LS with its V6, automatic and 2.92 rear axle ratio, you'll be looking at 19 and 30).
