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 owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR

Fri, Jun 5 2015

As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
