                     1956 ford truck



Up for sale is a professionally built and very stylish 1956 ford half ton pickup. The truck was built to be very dependable and very comfortable to drive. As everyone knows these trucks didn't handle very well with the original components. So  every component on this little truck was updated from the front end to the rear end and everything in between. 

  The project started with a super solid original truck with the original paint still on it. The truck was blown apart and all the original components were removed to make way for the new suspension and running gear. The front axle was replaced with a very nice handling jaguar front end. A nice healthy 429 ford motor and C6 transmission was the chosen heart beat. The original rear end was replaced with a ford 9" rear with disk brakes it is mounted on top of springs with the rails c-nothed to acheive the lowered stance but still have plenty of axle travel. There is loads of power and the suspension works great under these trucks the tires are tucked and nothing rubs.

 The body was very nice to start with but it needed a few changes to make it nice and clean. Both the front and rear bumpers were removed and replaced with hand built roll pans. The bed stack pockets were capped, lengthened , and the ends rolled.  The bed is nice and clean with a lot of custom touches. All of the body work was Professionally done so the gaps are nice and the lines are good. Everything was blocked nice and straight and sprayed with satin urethane paint. 

  There is white oak bed wood with stainless steel strips to finish off the bed. Painted steel wheels with stainless steel rings and caps mounted on G78/15 tires. Inside the cab it is super clean and simple with restored gauges, 2 speed electric wipers, very efficient heater and defroster, lokar shifter, courtesy dome light, chrome tilt column, all new switches and a new complete truck wiring harness. The upholstery brand new very clean and comfortable. 

 This is a very nice truck with a very killer stance and street appeal. It drives and great everything works as it should and will give some one a lot of enjoyment. You don't see to many of these truck with big blocks and 4 wheel disk brakes. A ton of time and money was spent on this truck. I am sure I have overlooked some things but you get the idea My number is 208-495-3325 with any questions.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.

Hot Wheels Ford Transit Connect is worth more if we keep it in the box

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

If the 2014 Transit Connect is anything like it's utile current-generation predecessor, and we suspect it is, it will undoubtedly be one of the most functional vehicles in North America. Ford has used the occasion of SEMA to turn the TC in to things that both make use of that functionality, and occasionally sort of wreck it in the name of good old-fashioned fun. The Ford Hot Wheels Transit Connect most certainly falls into that second category.
Most TC owners might cite the vehicle's massive cargo capacity as its top positive trait, though in the case of this wide-bodied Transit said space has been sapped in the name of a 55-inch television screen, a massive Hot Wheels drag strip (continuing a popular theme at SEMA this year) and custom storage for dozens of models from one's personal hot wheels collection. Designers have also plucked the grippy Recaro seats from the Focus ST, and thrown in a pair of 18-inch tablet screens for connectivity on the go.
Naturally, the Transit Connect wouldn't be an appropriate SEMA vehicle, or Hot Wheels name-bearer, if it weren't wearing an eye-popping appearance package. Additional homage to the Focus RS can be found in the blazing blue and orange front fascia and bumpers, while 20-inch wheels make sure the wider (four-inches in front and six-inches in the back) Transit Connect sits just right. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder-engine that powers the Hot Wheels TC ensures that the concept is more show than go, but you probably had that pegged from your first look, anyway.

Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.
