1956 Ford F100 "effie" Hotrod, Ratrod, Streetrod, Classic, Project, Cruiser on 2040-cars
Liberty, Indiana, United States
|
You are looking at a way cool 1956 Ford F100 "Effie". This truck is very fun to drive and drive it I do. I bought it not long ago to have something to drive while I work on my 1950 Austin Devon Streetrod. But now the cash I need to finish my Austin is tied up in this truck. I was fine with that in the begining, but now, not so much. If it doesn't sell, my busy time this spring will generate the needed revenues to finish the Austin, but I'd just as soon finish the Austin over the winter instead of next summer. This truck has the Volare front and rear, disc and drum (I will still get someone asking that which I just answered), they are power brakes. It has a Chevy 350/350 combo as well. It runs cool and runs very good. Stops as it should and takes off with gusto, but I'm a cruiser so it hasn't been abused. I didn't build it and have done very little since buying it. I added peep mirrors, the babymoons, and a little red paint here and there. The rockers are solid (see pics), the bed is excellent (see pics), the body is well, cool (see pics). All the lights, turn signals, brake, high and low beams work. The heater is very good, so drive to the late season stuff in comfort. The gas tank has not been moved, I would do that eventually for more cab room. It has some gauges in it but they are hard to read. No gas gauge, and no speedo cable (I use my GPS for speed), No wipers (Rain-X) and the ciggy but lighter works. It has tilt wheel, am/fm CD, and you see that odd green running board, it doesn't really go on this year truck, BUT I have the correct one in great shape to replace it. Questions? Seven-Six-Five, Nine-Nine-Four, Zero-Four-Eight-One Text or Call, after 6pm EST. Tires are in excellent condition, all glass intact and great except for a small crack in drivers vent glass. It is what it is, a cool truck that you can drive, do some rattle can paint trick to, of use it for the base for some high dollar trophy hunting "look at me" thangy. Whatever floats thou boat....Thanks for checking out my listing. I'm on the Indiana/Ohio line about and hour north of Cincinnati, come check it out if you'd like. Thanks again, John Sorry, I can't use any trades, and no I didn't do a "But it now" because that's when they get cha $$$. Phone number is above or shoot me an email thru the "Send Seller a Message". Auction could end early and you know why, don't you..... PS. If you are as frustrated about eBay's new search mode in eBay Motors as much as I do, scroll down on your home screen and hit "share your thoughts" (or whatever it says), what a feaking joke!!!! You should NEVER let anyone who doesn't acually use your product DESIGN it!!!! Clearly these compu-file yeahoos only shop for specific iPhones and not cars, unless it a ^%$$ Prius. On Oct-29-13 at 06:51:59 PDT, seller added the following information: I had a question from a watcher/looker/potential bidder that took the time to read the description and look carefully at the pics, he asked about power steering. YES, it does have power steering. Great question, my oversight for leaving it out. As of this moment 9:48am EST 10/29/13 80 Watchers and rising..... |

Ford F-Series Super Duty prototype reduced to smoldering mess of aluminum and steel [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The most important bit of information you need to know after looking through our high-res gallery of images depicting a prototype 2016 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup truck burning to the ground is that nobody was hurt. There were two engineers inside the vehicle when it caught fire, and both exited to safety.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the truck, which appears to have been testing in Death Valley, appears to be a total loss, minus, of course, whatever information Ford can glean from the conflagration - particularly tracing it back to its root cause. Besides that, we're also expecting the body of the next Super Duty to be hewn from aluminum, as is the case with its smaller brother, the brand-new F-150. Note the little aluminum droppings littering the roadway as apparent proof of that.
Our spy photographers report that it took just 21 minutes for the F-Series Super Duty to burn completely to the ground. The fire appears to have started in the driver-side front wheel well, spreading to engulf the entire front end in three minutes. We can't confirm the source of the blaze, but we're curious if the car's black vinyl cladding, meant to obscure the secrets within, contributed to the fire.
Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list
Tue, 09 Jul 2013The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.
Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
