1956 Ford F-100 on 2040-cars
Outlook, Washington, United States
1956 Ford F100 Pick Up.
Body/Paint: The body has all original steel with exception to the rear fenders, which are fiberglass, which are a little wider than stock. The body is in excellent condition. The only alterations to the body from stock is the dash with some slight custom work done as well as how the hood mounts, which is the slide type that works as it should. Also the tail gate has been smoothed. The paint is Sherwin Williams Hot Rod Red that looks excellent with a few repaired chips on the front of the truck. Ghost flames on front hood and fenders blending into the door using pearl. The build looks like only a couple of years old.
Interior: The interior is grey cloth and is super clean like the whole truck. Customized dash with VDO gauges. Speedo, tach, fuel (15 gallon), volt, oil pressure and temp. Stereo multiple CD player stored under seat with electric antenna. GM tilt with LaCarra steering wheel. Cold AC.
Running Gear: 454/500HP Chevrolet big block. 30 over with hardened internals, roller cam, Keith Black pistons, cast iron heads, Weind aluminum intake manifold, 850 cfm double pumper Demon carb, HEI ignition with manual fan. HD aluminum radiator. Runs cool. Lots of polished aluminum and chrome. TH 400 totally rebuilt with shift kit and 2500 stall. Custom driveline. The rear end is an 88 Corvette with 373 gears, posi. Power steering and brakes.
Suspension: The front end is a Valarie clip welded to the stock frame with a Corvette rear independent suspension. This is the reason fiberglass rear fenders were used to accommodate the width of the rear end as well as the tire size. Even though the fenders are wider they look stock with correct dimensions.
Bright work: Restored with stainless front and rear bumpers in very good condition and shows well.
Glass: Rear glass is original in very good condition with windshield and side windows replaced.
Exhaust: Stock exhaust manifolds with 2 ½ inch pipes with turbo style mufflers. Sounds awesome.
Brakes: 4 wheel disc brakes. Front brakes are Plymouth with rears Corvette.
Wheels/Tires: The wheels are Billet Specialties strip style with Toyo Proxies tires with only 3K miles. The fronts are 235/45 ZR 17. Rears are 275/35 ZR 18.

eBay Find of the Day: 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is showroom fresh
Tue, 27 Aug 2013There's an ultra-rare Ford Thunderbird for sale on eBay, although it's not quite the T-Bird you're probably thinking. This is a 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, complete with a five-speed manual transmission and just a shade over 13,000 miles on the clock. The condition is said to be mint, and judging by the interior and exterior pictures, we're inclined to believe the seller. The paint is glossy and the interior looks showroom new, while the underbody is stunningly clean for a 36-year-old car.
Underhood sits a 2.3-liter, intercooled and turbocharged four-cylinder (also found in the Mustang SVO) that was producing 190 horsepower when it left the factory. Inside, the five-speed manual transmission adds to the car's rarity. The vehicle's sole owner has been as immaculate with the paperwork as he has with the rest of the car - it's all there, including brochures and other product material.
The eBay auction ends tomorrow at midnight (9:00 PM if you're on America's west coast). Bidding has reached $10,200, and there's still plenty of time to get in on this future classic. The vehicle is located in Millstone Township, NJ.
GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014
They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.
