1956 Ford F-100 Pickup Unrestored All Original Road Worthy Truck on 2040-cars
Walnut Cove, North Carolina, United States
|
For sale this week I have a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck. I consider this an original survivor because it has never been painted, and is running and driving well with it's original 272 Y-block engine and 3-speed manual transmission. The truck had been parked for 6 years when I acquired it. With a new Holley carb, and full tuneup, it cranked and ran beautifully. The brakes were a bit weak so I rebuilt the entire brake system to include new master cylinder, metal brake lines, all rubber hoses, new wheel cylinders and new brake shoes. The clutch is excellent and does not shake when released. This truck can be parked months at a time and it instantly cranks. I also installed a new battery several months ago. It is a 12 volt charging system that is charging while running. The tires on the truck are in good condition and are road worthy. The mileage was told to me to be correct, at only 47000, but I have no documentation to that effect. I do believe the mileage to be correct because there is very little wear on the original pedals, seat springs are still firm, steering is nice and tight, transmissions shifts smoothly with no slop in the shifter. Since no repairs have ever been made to the body, there are no surprises hidden under body and paintwork. The bed retains the original wood (some of it). So many of these trucks end up with some sort of metal flooring welded in over top of the wood, but not this one. This truck needs a complete restoration, but is a great start that can be driven and enjoyed now and while the restoration is performed. This has always been a North Carolina truck. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time in the event of a local sale. Buyer is responsible for moving the truck to it's new home. Thanks for looking. Truck is sold as is.

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 01 Feb 2014Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.
Ford wants to double hybrid offerings by 2020
Wed, Jan 15 2014The Blue Oval is looking for folks on the other side of this Big Old Sphere to get on board with its hybrid offerings. Ford executive Raj Nair, speaking at the Detroit Auto Show this week, said the US automaker wants to double the number of hybrids models it offers by the end of the decade, Reuters reports. Details of what that actually means is anyone's guess, as it was unclear how many of those models would be in the US and how many would be overseas. That said, Nair did say that prospective customers in regions such as China and Europe would drive the expansion of offerings. Ford got off to a great start in the US last year on its hybrid sales, but then tailed off towards the end of 2013. Ford more than doubled its green-car sales in 2013 to almost 88,000 units. In that number were more than 37,000 Fusion Hybrids and more than 28,000 C-Max Hybrids sold domestically. The company also sold almost 7,500 Lincoln MKZ Hybrids. Ford's green-car totals for 2013 were up fivefold at the mid-year point, hinting that Ford's hybrid sales plateaued, at least temporarily, in recent months.
Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
