For sale is a very nicely restored 1955 Ford F-100 1/2 T stepside shortbox pickup.

The truck starts right up, runs and drives well with good brakes.  This truck is pretty

fast with its rebuilt original 272 bored .30 over.  Rebuilt by the previous owner.  Later model 4-speed put in by previous owner also.  Shifts well.  The engine and exhaust sound strong.  Dual exhaust.  Power steering and brakes.  The dual exhaust has a good healthy rumble sound.  The hood of the truck is a forward tilt design that allows great access and uniqueness.  This '55 F-100 rides on near new Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 radial tires and very nice American Racing rims that really set the look off.  The body of this one is in excellent shape and the glass and stainless is nice too.  The underside is very solid as seen in the photos.  The bed is steel with a rubber mat and a snap-on bed cover is very convenient when hauling your "stuff".

The interior is almost new and looks great.  The bucket seats are very comfortable and are very nice.  The headliner and doors panels are nice.  Cool wood steering wheel.  The added-on guages work, but the speedo does not.  One very great feature on the F-100 is the added A/C which blows cold.  The wipers are working.  Horn works.  Turn signals, taillights and headlights work.  Has very good carpet and FORD floormats.  The truck also has seatbelts for both seats.

This is a really cool 1955 Ford pickup cruiser that can be enjoyed right now.  Not that many of these '55 Ford 1/2 T pickups left, let alone in excellent condition.  This one gets a lot of looks and appreciative waves as it cruises threw town.

Please feel free to ask questions.  Sold is as-is condition.  Personal inspection is encouraged.

Ford's new GT Le Mans racer sounds awesome

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Ford showed its new GT Le Mans racecar this morning, and we're stoked. The gorgeous new racecar will run in the LM GTE Pro class in the FIA World Endurance Championship and United SportsCar Championship, followed by a four-car showing at the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. For those keeping track, the 2016 race will mark the 50th anniversary of Ford's big Le Mans victory in 1966. In addition to images and some limited information, Ford released this video of the Le Mans racecar, and we haven't been able to stop watching. This thing sounds amazing, and it looks super cool racing through the streets of Paris, even if it's all just CGI. Thus, we figured we'd pull the video out again, just in case you missed it the first time. Turn your volume up. This one's really good.

Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues

Fri, 09 May 2014

Poor 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.

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
