This 1955 Ford F-250 has had all of the heavy lifting done in its restoration and there is not much left to finish the job. It has the original 239 cu. in. 8 cylinder engine, which runs smooth and strong. The door windows have anti-vibration mechanisms, enabling them to raise and lower smoothly. The truck is definitely not a bondo-bucket. This is an extremely low mileage farm truck and that is why the floors, doors and rockers are all rock solid and rust free. The brakes are completely restored and function properly. I have loads of receipts and it wont take much more to turn this into a $20k - plus show piece. 

The original bed was the only portion of the truck that did not stay covered when it was on the farm, so it was scrapped but if you want them, it does come with an un-restored scuffed up replacement bed, used left & right rear fenders and a set of running boards that are in fair shape, just not as pristine as the cab.  A stake-bed would look great on this truck and the drive train can handle just about anything you put on it... certainly more than a F100. The final wiring for the lights is still left to do but fortunately, these trucks are about as simple as they come. It has a brand new 12 volt alternator installed but all of the components of the original 6 volt system are included and easy enough to swap out if you want to stay old school with it. It also has a new, high-dollar Optima Battery in it.

The truck is stored indoors and I am available to show it on short notice. If you are new to eBay and only have a few auctions under your belt, it would be a good idea to call me before bidding even if you are confident that you know what you're doing. 


Please ask your questions before bidding! I am not big into texting but you can reach me at 706-564-560 nine or via email. Calls are welcomed 24-7. If I am asleep, no worries just leave a message with your number and a good time for me to return your call. 

 Please remember, as the seller, I set the terms of this auction and as the bidder, you set the value of the truck. These trucks have and always will go up in value. That is why the highest bidder is called the "Winner" and the winner must pay a non-refundable deposit of $300.00 within 24 hours of the auction's close, via PayPal. The balance must be paid via money order, certified check or cash in person, within two weeks of the auction's end or unless otherwise negotiated before the close of the auction. I will do all I can to help with shipping arrangements.

IIHS updates overlap test: 2 SUVs get good marks, 9 fare poorly

Tue, Dec 13 2022

Vehicles in crashes keep occupants safe by deforming around the cabin in a way that maintains cabin integrity. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's moderate overlap test, introduced in 1995, has been a huge contributor to improved safety for front-row passengers in a crash. IIHS President David Harkey said, "Thanks to automakers’ improvements, drivers in most vehicles are nearly 50% less likely to be killed in a frontal crash today than they were 25 years ago." In the 'unintentional side effects' column, crash safety has gotten worse for passengers in the back seats. When carmakers reengineered the front crash structure to protect the driver, more crash forces got distributed throughout the rear. IIHS research claims rear passengers have a 46% greater risk of fatal injury than front-row passengers, but back-seaters haven't benefited from the same upgrades in safety as the front row. The IIHS updated its moderate overlap test to address the issue, putting 15 vehicles through the new regime. Two earned good ratings — the 2023 Ford Escape and the 2021-2023 Volvo XC40 — one was acceptable, three were marginal and nine were rated poor. Every one of the crossovers sampled got good marks for all passengers in the original test. That test sees 40% of vehicle's width on the driver's side impacting an aluminum honeycomb barrier at 40 miles per hour. The updated test puts a crash dummy representing small woman or 12-year-old child in the seat behind the driver, the dummy's sensors and grease paint measuring the effectiveness of the restraints and the forces a human body would need to endure. To achieve a good rating, the "measurements must not exceed limits indicating excessive risk of injury to the head, neck, chest, abdomen or thigh." An institute engineer said, "In real-world crashes, chest injuries are the most common serious rear-seat injuries for adults." The sensors and video evidence showed back seat dummies in the Escape and XC40 endured minimal risk of injuries from excessive crash forces, from submarining under the seat belt, or from unwanted interaction with the side curtain airbag.   The Toyota RAV4 scored acceptable. The second-row dummy also endured minimal risk of injury to the chest and lower extremities. However, the lap belt slipped upward in a way that could increase abdominal injuries, and after the dummy's head dipped during crash impact, the head came back up between the rear curtain airbag and rear window.

‘American Auto’ fires on most cylinders

Tue, Dec 14 2021

If you like cars or you enjoyed “Superstore” then “American Auto” is worth your time. NBC previewed the punchy sitcom last night ahead of the series premiere Jan. 4, and it offers a humorous take on the U.S. auto industry as seen through the team at fictional Payne Motors. Overseen by Justin Spitzer, the creator of “Superstore” and a producer on “The Office,” the two episodes that dropped Monday show Payne executives trying to navigate the challenges of the modern auto business.  “Saturday Night Live” alum Ana Gasteyer stars as a pharmaceutical exec turned Payne CEO. The cast also includes Harriet Dyer as stressed-out PR boss, Sadie; Tye White as Jack, a factory worker who gets promoted to the C-suite; and former “Superstore” cast member Jon Barinholtz as the company scion, Wesley, who has no job responsibilities and is employed because of his name. The cast also includes X Mayo, Michael Benjamin Washington and Humphrey Ker as executives. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Autoblog -- thatÂ’s us -- gets name-checked early in the second episode (2:37 into the show) for "our" critical take on GasteyerÂ’s introduction of the Payne Ponderosa, a car the company scrambled to build in time for its auto show reveal.  GasteyerÂ’s CEO character walks in on a meeting between Sadie and Jack -- their budding romance appears to be part of the story arc -- and blurts out “Autoblog says hasty HastingsÂ’ premature launch,” apparently a reference to a headline that pans the Ponderosa. Looking at the cartoonish wagon-like thing, itÂ’s well-earned criticism. Perhaps the writers know of us -- weÂ’ve been around for nearly 18 years and are read by millions each month -- or thought ‘AutoblogÂ’ sounded like a good name for a car website. Either way. The pilot is centered on the Ponderosa and its troubled development (the first version of the car ran over people). Episode 2 features a Ponderosa Magellan van being used by a serial killer in a police chase. Titled “White Van,” the episode is obviously reminiscent of O.J. SimpsonÂ’s 1994 chase in a white Ford Bronco. ThereÂ’s also some Michigan references, which help to set the scene. One character has a Wayne State degree on the wall and the Magellan flees on Interstate 94, which runs through the state.
