Classic, Vintage, Hot Rod, Show Truck, Fully Restored, Old School, Iconic F100 on 2040-cars
Orem, Utah, United States
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 !! |

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.
This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars
Tue, 25 Feb 2014The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.
