You are looking at a way cool 1956 Ford F100 "Effie". This truck is very fun to drive and drive it I do. I bought it not long ago to have something to drive while I work on my 1950 Austin Devon Streetrod. But now the cash I need to finish my Austin is tied up in this truck. I was fine with that in the begining, but now, not so much. If it doesn't sell, my busy time this spring will generate the needed revenues to finish the Austin, but I'd just as soon finish the Austin over the winter instead of next summer.

This truck has the Volare front and rear, disc and drum (I will still get someone asking that which I just answered), they are power brakes. It has a Chevy 350/350 combo as well. It runs cool and runs very good. Stops as it should and takes off with gusto, but I'm a cruiser so it hasn't been abused. I didn't build it and have done very little since buying it. I added peep mirrors, the babymoons, and a little red paint here and there. The rockers are solid (see pics), the bed is excellent (see pics), the body is well, cool (see pics). All the lights, turn signals, brake, high and low beams work. The heater is very good, so drive to the late season stuff in comfort. The gas tank has not been moved, I would do that eventually for more cab room. It has some gauges in it but they are hard to read. No gas gauge, and no speedo cable (I use my GPS for speed), No wipers (Rain-X) and the ciggy but lighter works. It has tilt wheel, am/fm CD, and you see that odd green running board, it doesn't really go on this year truck, BUT I have the correct one in great shape to replace it. Questions? Seven-Six-Five, Nine-Nine-Four, Zero-Four-Eight-One Text or Call, after 6pm EST.

Tires are in excellent condition, all glass intact and great except for a small crack in drivers vent glass. It is what it is, a cool truck that you can drive, do some rattle can paint trick to, of use it for the base for some high dollar trophy hunting "look at me" thangy. Whatever floats thou boat....Thanks for checking out my listing. I'm on the Indiana/Ohio line about and hour north of Cincinnati, come check it out if you'd like. Thanks again, John

Sorry, I can't use any trades, and no I didn't do a "But it now" because that's when they get cha $$$. Phone number is above or shoot me an email thru the "Send Seller a Message". Auction could end early and you know why, don't you.....

PS. If you are as frustrated about eBay's new search mode in eBay Motors as much as I do, scroll down on your home screen and hit "share your thoughts" (or whatever it says), what a feaking joke!!!! You should NEVER let anyone who doesn't acually use your product DESIGN it!!!! Clearly these compu-file yeahoos only shop for specific iPhones and not cars, unless it a ^%$$ Prius.

I had a question from a watcher/looker/potential bidder that took the time to read the description and look carefully at the pics, he asked about power steering. YES, it does have power steering. Great question, my oversight for leaving it out.

As of this moment 9:48am EST 10/29/13  80 Watchers and rising.....

2020 Harley-Davidson GMC Sierra brings the iconic brand to a new truck

Sat, Jan 11 2020

The Harley-Davidson Ford F-150 rides alone no longer. Thanks to the Tuscany Motor Company, it now has a fellow truck associate to cruise with side-by-side on the open roads. Introducing the 2020 Harley-Davidson GMC Sierra, which will make its official debut at the 2020 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction. For years, a Harley-Davidson special edition package has been associated with the Ford F-150 nameplate. Although Ford does not offer a direct option from the factory, Tuscany Motor Company answered the demand and now builds truck packages that carry the famous American motorcycle name. With the direction of Harley-Davidson, Tuscany creates interior and exterior customizations that reflect notable and iconic features of the bikes. This year is the first time Tuscany has ever offered a Harley-Davidson package on a GMC Sierra, and as expected, it's pretty similar to the one offered on the F-150. The package includes at least 60 exclusive parts, and the Sierra is available in Onxy Black, Summit White, or Satin Steel Metallic.  Setting the tone are Fatboy-inspired 22-inch milled aluminum wheels wrapped in chunky 35-inch all-terrain tires. As Tuscany is a division of Fox performance parts, the truck rides on a specially designed BDS suspension with tuned Fox shocks and lateral stability bars. The truck also has a redesigned front bumper and grille with an integrated LED light bar for off-roading, power running boards with rock guard trim and entry lights, color-matched Harley-Davidson-designed fender flares, custom front fender vents with the Harley logo, an induction-style hood, a redesigned rear bumper, and a tuned exhaust with billet tips. More badging, tailgate cladding, a windshield header, orange tow hooks, and a bed rug add extra pizzazz. Finally, for all the planes, drones, and aliens who are eyeing pickups from the sky, the tonneau cover is debossed with the Harley-Davidson logo.  Inside, the fan pack includes leather seating with orange diamond stitching, and piano black door panels, console, and trim. Harley-Davidson badging and branding is on the seats, on the center console, on the floor mats, the door sill inserts, the instrument gauges, and even the pedals.  If this is up your alley, and you're interested in buying, the Sierras, no matter the color, start at $94,995 before taxes and fees.

Detroit Three to lose dominance of North American auto output in 2017

Wed, Sep 27 2017

DETROIT — North American vehicle production by the unionized Detroit Three automakers will fall behind the combined North American output of Tesla and automakers from Europe and Asia for the first time this year, IHS Markit forecast on Wednesday. In 2017, the Detroit Three could build 8.6 million vehicles in North America, while Tesla and foreign automakers build 8.7 million, IHS Markit analyst Joe Langley said. By 2024, the gap will widen, with Asian and European automakers and Tesla combining to build about 9.8 million vehicles in North America. General Motors, Ford and the North American operations of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV will combine to build 8.1 million vehicles, down 6 percent from this year. Mexico is on track to increase its share of North American vehicle production, Langley said, moving to 4.5 million vehicles a year by 2024 from about 4 million vehicles currently. The milestone for the growth of Tesla and foreign automakers in North America comes as the Trump administration is pushing to limit imports of vehicles from Mexico in negotiations to overhaul the North American Free Trade Agreement. The declining share of North American vehicle production for the Detroit automakers also challenges U.S. and Canadian unions that represent their workers. Canadian workers are on strike at a GM factory in Ontario to protest the automaker's decision to cut jobs and move to Mexico some production of sport utility models built there. Foreign automakers over the past year have announced plans for a wave of new or expanded plants in North America, while Tesla is ramping up to build as many as 500,000 cars a year at its plant in Fremont, Calif. Often referred to as "transplants," the foreign-owned factories are poised to become the mainstream of the North American auto industry. Automakers are increasingly using factories in China or Mexico to build vehicles that used to be assembled solely in the United States, Langley said. He cited as an example Ford's decision to shift production of the Focus small car for North America to a Chinese assembly plant.

Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma top ASG list of most eco-friendly trucks

Mon, Mar 31 2014

No one's going to confuse the massively popular Ford F-150 pickup truck with a green vehicle, but at least it performs well in an environmental sense when compared to its brethren. The Automotive Science Group (ASG) took on the odd (to us, at least) task of measuring which pickup trucks are friendliest to the environment and found that the big seller in the Blue Oval's flagship F-series came up big, while the Toyota Tacoma came up, well, slightly smaller. That's a good thing. Among the 245 light-duty trucks that ASG studied, the 3.7-liter V6-powered F-150 won ASG's award for full-size trucks for both regular and crew cabs. Meanwhile, the 2.7-liter Toyota Tacoma, with its fuel-economy rating of 23 miles per gallon combined, had smallest overall life-cycle carbon footprint and won ASG's two mid-sized categories. Finally, the Chevrolet Silverado won best all-around performance in the full-size extended-cab category. The ASG factored in eco-friendliness, price and social performance (which is measured by, "considering the rights of those charged with vehicle manufacture and assembly") to come up with its findings. Sales of Ford's F-Series trucks rose 8.4 percent last year to 74,592 units and accounted for more than a third of the total 2013 sales of Ford and its Lincoln unit. Check out the ASG's press release below. Truck Buyers Faced With "Eco" Options Galore Which 2014 full-size trucks warrant eco claims? 25 March 2014 [Santa Rosa, CA] – With a myriad of eco-branded trucks hitting the North American marketplace in 2014 – from Ford's EcoBoost and GM's EcoTec3 to Ram's latest addition, the EcoDiesel – the Automotive Science Group (ASG) was prompted to offer an objective, scientifically-based assessment to determine exactly which 2014 trucks actually earn their "eco" badge. According to ASG and the principles of ecological economics, a vehicle's eco-rating must be multi-faceted to include both environmental and economic considerations, and so the Group's proprietary rating platform – the Automotive Performance Index – does just that. Using a unique combination of vehicle data inputs that include conventional specifications as well as social, environmental and economic performance indicators, ASG's vehicle assessments empower consumers to make choices based on one's personal principles and financial requisites.
