I have a very rare and desirable 1956 Ford F250 in good running, condition. These F-Series Trucks are very popular because you can still buy parts for them. This truck has the original 272 Y-Block V-8 Engine mated with the original 4 Speed Transmission and is a 12 volt system. I have converted over to a alternator but I have the original generator in working condition, I have the original coil, solenoid, and other parts. The truck has new tires all the way around. To the best of my knowledge very few of the 250s were produced. This truck was converted to a dually flatbed at one time which was very well done and looks factory. I also have a new electronic ignition module for the distributor but its running so good I have not yet installed. I have serviced the transmission and differential. I also replaced the points, condenser, plugs, cap, rotor, coil, solenoid, fuel filters. The left front wheel cylinder needs to be replaced but its drivable. Parking Brake mechanism works well, but needs new brake shoes/pads. There is no rust on the frame but the cab corners would need repair in a restoration. Clutch shifts good but there doesn't seem to be much pedal left. There might be some adjustment underneath but I am not sure. The truck is flat black, but the original color was Meadow Green. Truck drives and rides good. Truck comes with most original parts like arm rests, door panels, etc. Truck has a clean open title. Truck has dual fuel tanks.There is plenty of room on the running boards for tool boxes, generator, etc. Has a nice stereo in the glove box with custom speaker boxes on the floor. Some say this is the coolest truck ever made and gets thumbs up and complements. I think out of the 50 vehicles that I have owned this is one of the most fun to drive. I hate to sell this truck but I don't have the room and I can't stand to let it sit outside. Mileage stated is an approximate, we're not really sure. This trucks so rare there is not another 1956 Ford F250 for sale on Ebay.

PLEASE READ! We are not trying to misrepresent the truck in any way but it was brought to our attention that the 56 has a rounded front window and rectangular vents and this one don't. This truck has a clean 56 title and matching Vin plate. Looks like someone cloned this truck as a 56. After further review of the front grille we think is is a 53 Deluxe cab. It is still a cool truck but it don't seem to be the true 56 it says it is. Thanks and please understand this ad revision.

2015 Ford Focus ST zooming toward Goodwood reveal [w/video]
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Ford has quite a party ready for the Goodwood Festival of Speed starting on June 27. Not only is the 2015 Mustang going to be driving in front of the European public for the first time, the Blue Oval is also unveiling its 2015 refresh for the Focus ST.
Official details about the latest Focus hot hatch are practically nonexistent at this point. Ford's teaser image shows narrower headlights, and the company says that the ST also benefits from the technical and quality improvements from the refreshed standard model, which likely means an even more Aston-Martin-like grille. However, any improvements for the power or handling are a mystery for now.
Ford will even give visitors to the festival the chance to drive the new ST - at least virtually. Gran Turismo 6 kiosks will be on hand with the hot hatch loaded up to race the Goodwood Hill Climb. There will also be real-time races between former Stig Ben Collins in the real ST challenging a player up the hill in the game.
Ford Transit gets outfitted for prison duty
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Between the Taurus-based Police Interceptor, the Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility and the F-150 and Expedition special service vehicles, Ford has no lack of offerings for law enforcement. And now it has one more in the form of the new Transit PTV.
Based on the fullsize Transit van, the Prisoner Transport Vehicle can move as many as 12 prisoners in three separate compartments between detention facilities. Created in collaboration with Pennsylvania-based Havis Prisoner Transport Solutions and with input from Ford's Police Advisory Board, the Transit PTV takes advantage of the Transit's considerable configuration options that include three roof heights, two wheelbases, three lengths and four body-styles - not to mention engine options that include the flex-fuel 3.7-liter V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost and 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel.
"Transit PTV is the latest example of Ford's deep commitment to helping provide law enforcement agencies with capable vehicles. This concept proves Transit is upfit-ready and designed to Built Ford Tough standards," said Jonathan Honeycutt, Ford police marketing manager. "Many Police Advisory Board members have had the chance to drive this vehicle and they are excited about it. This new vehicle is tough, smart and efficient - ideal for the needs of law enforcement agencies."
Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues
Fri, 09 May 2014Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.
