1957 Ford F100 Short Bed 2wd 272 Manual 3 Speed, Brakes, And Steering on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, United States
1957 Ford F-100 2WD RWD Short Bed Straight Side base model truck. I bought this in El Paso Texas last year off of eBay for a project this year that never materialized. It was purchased for a total tear down and rebuild into a bagged street rod. Motor looks to be original, frame and body numbers match. Looks to be all original frame, suspension, drive train but that is my assumption. Did not matter since it was going to be stripped down. Just needed the title and decent sheetmetal. It starts and runs, but with much anger and resistance, lol. It blows blue smoke, runs rough/misses, but idles after started. Carb is leaking out the seals but has no problem responding to the pedal and getting the motor to move the truck around. Shifts, brakes, turns... just not a street worthy vehicle at all. Great foundation for a build. Not need to stress over modifying this the way you want it! Worst part is the hood front structural bracing is rusted away... but this hood was going to be deck, angled, and rebuilt anyways for a new latching system so enough steel for that. Also the core support is solid, no rust but the latch assembly area has been rewelded and strengthened in its lifetime... but again that area was going to be reworked for the new hood setup... again no biggie for me. The rust in the cab corners, footsteps, under footwell bracing, front of bed at cab... etc... all very typical of this year truck and replacment panels are cheap and readily available. Open Texas Title. NO SHIPPING!!!! NO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS!!! Buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup. SOLD AS IS NO WARRANTY NO RETURNS NO SCAMS!
**** V i d e o link of the engine running **** some people have asked about it. It starts, runs, idles... but would need a rebuild. |

And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.
2015 Ford Mustang leaked in Autoweek
Tue, 03 Dec 2013We would have to imagine that Ford knew it couldn't keep its 2015 Mustang under wraps for too long, and with only days to go before the pony car's official unveiling, the dam seems to be cracking. SVTPerformance.com member Screamin 40th just posted some images taken of the sixth-gen Mustang prominently featured in and on the cover of the December 9 issue of Autoweek magazine.
These images show that recent renderings we saw weren't too far off. The face is just like what we saw in spy shots a few months back, but the rear of the car features some of its more striking cues. Starting with the pronounced haunches and hidden B-pillars, the rear view of the new Mustang might be its best with the ridged, three-bar taillights, a rear diffuser and the lack of a faux gas cap, which allows the galloping pony to be an even more prominent element against the black trim.
The images also reveal a small portion of the updated interior carrying over retro themes like the deep-dish steering wheel and dual-gauge instrument cluster, but it also adds some modern tech with a big infotainment displays and a clean center stack layout. No official word on powertrain or other specs, but while we can't make out most of the magazine's text, our eyes did catch mentions of an independent rear suspension and a 200-pound weight reduction.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
