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 !!

Ford reveals all-new Everest SUV at Asia-Pacific forum [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

While the Explorer may have shifted from a truck-based sport-ute to a car-based crossover, Ford still offers buyers on the other side of the Pacific a Ranger-based SUV in the form of the Everest. And at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Beijing today, the Blue Oval revealed the all-new version you see here.
Previewed in concept form over a year ago and made specifically for the Asia-Pacific market, the new Ford Everest is designed to be more refined on the road and more capable off of it. Like the Explorer once was, the new Everest is based on a stretched version of the overseas Ford Ranger pickup. Depending on the specific market, Ford will offer the new Everest with a range of engines including a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo four and two Duratorq turbodiesels - a 2.2-liter four and a 3.2-liter inline-five - mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Earmarked to take on the likes of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (known in these parts as the Lexus GX) and the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the new Everest promises rock-crawlers even better off-road capabilities. It's got nearly nine inches of ground clearance, over 30 inches of wading depth, a 29-degree approach and 25-degree departure angles and a set of features including on-the-fly adjustable four-wheel drive.

Ford Fiesta rally car warms up in Sweden

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Rallycross is seeing a sudden surge in popularity with two series bringing the racing to the US and Europe. The Ford OMSE team is competing in both championships this season, and it saw no reason not to hold practice with a highly modified Fiesta in the snow of Northern Sweden. It brought together Andreas Bakkerud from the European-focused FIA World Rallycross Championship and Patrik Sandell from the North American-focused Global Rallycross series for some training and fun. They certainly appear to be enjoying themselves, too, with some lovely pirouettes in the powder.
If you're unfamiliar with rallycross, the discipline combines the best of rallying and circuit racing. Drivers (with no co-drivers) race rally cars over a circuit that generally mixes dirt and asphalt, and unlike traditional rallying, multiple cars compete side-by-side at once. Even better, it's often a very two-fisted form of motorsports with lots of car-to-car contact. Global Rallycross and World Rallycross will both kick off their seasons in May. With spring on the way, scroll down to watch the Fiesta kick up some of the last snow drifts of the year.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.
