The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Body is in great shape, but has driver side cab corner rusted out. The window rubber is old and allowing water to run into the cab as happens with older vehicles. Driver window is cracked and needs replaced along with the small back window. The only item not functional is the fuel gauge. Not sure if it is the fuel sensor in the tank, or the gauge itself. All wiring is in tact, but I have not worked the issue any further."

Condition: This truck is very solid. All original. Runs and drives great for being stock. Of course being stock, the top speed is about 50mph in third gear. I recently put new mirrors and hub caps on and headlight beauty rings.   Mechanical: Since the motor was rebuilt for unleaded gas, it has about 5 to 6 thousand. I do not have any paperwork to prove that, but that was word of mouth when I bought it. The motor sounds solid, no lifter noise, knocks or any other indication of that not to be true, but it does run very solid. I recently changed the right rear wheel cylinder and master cylinder. The brakes kept locking on pulling. Now they have fresh fluid and work as good as only drum brakes can. I also inspected all 4 wheels to see what shape the brakes are in and they have about 75% life left on the pads. The oil was replaced about 50 miles ago and at the same time had new tires put on. the speedo cable was causing the needle to bounce around, so that is brand new from C & G early ford parts. new o-ring and drive gear were put on at the same time. I installed a new battery and new cables for both negative and positive on with quick release battery terminals. The radiator was leaking so I had a tractor radiator shop braze the missing copper and ensure it is leak tight. At the same time, I put new hoses, thermostat and, water pump on. The steering is tight and drives straight. The linkage for the column shift is tight and shifts nicely. The original blinker parts are missing so an after market blinker was put on at some point in its life. They do sell all the original blinker parts on LMC Truck. Other then that, the truck drives nice for an all original 56 and is solid. I do have the paper work for the parts ordered and the tires and oil change as well. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask and I will update as needed for everyones info. Thank you for taking the time to take a look.


Features: This is a 1956 F-100 small window longbed. It has the stock inline six 223 and 3 speed manual transmission on the column. I tried my best to keep everything stock including the original oil bath air breather. The only items upgraded is that I took off the original generator (still working) and put on a petronix's coil and electronic points with a gm 1 wire alternator. 

History:I am currently the fourth owner of the truck. The truck has been California owned its whole life until the last two years. I am military so the truck had to travel with me once I left the state. Currently in Alabama. The rust is very minimal, except for the driver cab corner mentioned. The truck was sitting for about 6 years, but I have been doing much needed maintenance to get it back up and running. 

Shipping and Payment: Buyer is responsible for shipping or pickup. I will work with buyers shipper and buyer as much as possible.

Ford opens the doors on its Swedish rally skunkworks

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

It's always amazing to see how different kinds of racecars are made. Formula One racers are often constructed in modern architectural marvels that hint at some of the cutting-edge technology going into the racing. Conversely, rallying is all about sliding around on a varied course as fast as possible, but it often leaves a vehicle caked in mud. So it makes some sense Olsbergs MSE, or simply (OMSE) rally car shop in Nynashamn, Sweden, shows technological sophistication in a more down-to-earth setting. It builds Ford Fiesta ST racers for Global Rallycross there, and this new video gives viewers a tour through the work.
Former rally driver Andreas Eriksson runs OMSE. These days instead of racing, he and the company's 46 employees are building Ford racers from scratch. A ton of work goes into constructing each one, and according to Eriksson, it takes 400 hours to complete each body. At times, things are so busy that some of the technicians live in the shop in apartments that are on premises. There's even a restaurant to keep them fed. Sadly the dyno room is empty during this visit, though.
By the time OMSE is done, a rallycross car might resemble a Fiesta ST on the outside, but as you see in the video, it's a completely different beast underneath. Check out the work it takes to build one of them, and scroll down to read more about it in the official release.

Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.

2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.
