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 !!

Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014



Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters

Sun, 28 Sep 2014

The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
