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 exec reveals new F-150 Raptor packs 450 horsepower
Mon, Jan 26 2015Between the new GT supercar, Shelby GT350R muscle car and F-150 Raptor off-roader, Ford had quite the array of performance machinery on display at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month. One thing it didn't reveal about any of the three, however, is how much power they'd pack, but a senior executive at the Blue Oval automaker has reportedly let the cat out of the bag when it comes to the Raptor. During a televised interview during the Rolex 24 at Daytona this past weekend, Ford's product development chief Raj Nair is said to have revealed that the new F-150 Raptor will offer 450 horsepower. That's pretty impressive from a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6, and would put the new Raptor out ahead of the 411 hp produced by the 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 in the previous SVT Raptor. That doesn't give us the whole picture, though, because in a vehicle this big especially, torque will play a huge factor. The outgoing Raptor offered 424 pound-feet of twist, and the existing 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine is already producing 420 lb-ft – so it seems fairly safe to assume the new Raptor will eclipse those figures as well, but we'll have to wait for official word to find out for sure.

Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."
Which car companies are creating new jobs in America?
Fri, Sep 22 2017Since January, automakers have announced investments totaling $9.5 billion in U.S. plants, creating or retaining more than 12,000 jobs. Some of those companies have yet to announce just how many jobs will be created given their investments, with the location of many of those jobs still to be determined. Specifically, the 4,000-job Toyota-Mazda joint venture plant still hasn't announced its location, with numerous states jockeying for it. Hyundai has plans to invest $1 billion but has not announced a jobs number yet. And likewise Ford is investing $1.2 billion in Michigan without specifying a number of jobs. Volvo this week announced plans to add a second line to its factory under construction in South Carolina, spending another $500 million and adding 2,500 jobs to the 2,000 it was already trying to fill. Then Thursday, Daimler announced a $1 billion expansion to its facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce EV batteries and electric SUVs, a move that will add 600 jobs to its hiring this year. Above, we've created a handy pie chart showing you which companies have announced new jobs and how many there will be.
