1956 Ford F-100 on 2040-cars
Outlook, Washington, United States
1956 Ford F100 Pick Up.
Body/Paint: The body has all original steel with exception to the rear fenders, which are fiberglass, which are a little wider than stock. The body is in excellent condition. The only alterations to the body from stock is the dash with some slight custom work done as well as how the hood mounts, which is the slide type that works as it should. Also the tail gate has been smoothed. The paint is Sherwin Williams Hot Rod Red that looks excellent with a few repaired chips on the front of the truck. Ghost flames on front hood and fenders blending into the door using pearl. The build looks like only a couple of years old.
Interior: The interior is grey cloth and is super clean like the whole truck. Customized dash with VDO gauges. Speedo, tach, fuel (15 gallon), volt, oil pressure and temp. Stereo multiple CD player stored under seat with electric antenna. GM tilt with LaCarra steering wheel. Cold AC.
Running Gear: 454/500HP Chevrolet big block. 30 over with hardened internals, roller cam, Keith Black pistons, cast iron heads, Weind aluminum intake manifold, 850 cfm double pumper Demon carb, HEI ignition with manual fan. HD aluminum radiator. Runs cool. Lots of polished aluminum and chrome. TH 400 totally rebuilt with shift kit and 2500 stall. Custom driveline. The rear end is an 88 Corvette with 373 gears, posi. Power steering and brakes.
Suspension: The front end is a Valarie clip welded to the stock frame with a Corvette rear independent suspension. This is the reason fiberglass rear fenders were used to accommodate the width of the rear end as well as the tire size. Even though the fenders are wider they look stock with correct dimensions.
Bright work: Restored with stainless front and rear bumpers in very good condition and shows well.
Glass: Rear glass is original in very good condition with windshield and side windows replaced.
Exhaust: Stock exhaust manifolds with 2 ½ inch pipes with turbo style mufflers. Sounds awesome.
Brakes: 4 wheel disc brakes. Front brakes are Plymouth with rears Corvette.
Wheels/Tires: The wheels are Billet Specialties strip style with Toyo Proxies tires with only 3K miles. The fronts are 235/45 ZR 17. Rears are 275/35 ZR 18.

Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas
Wed, 03 Apr 2013The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.
Watch live as Mark Fields is officially named Ford's next CEO
Thu, 01 May 2014We've heard rumblings of a changing of the guard at Ford, and this live stream from The Blue Oval itself is set to confirm the rumors: Alan Mulally will be succeeded by the automaker's current Chief Operating Officer, Mark Fields.
Mulally, who is 68 years old, has served at the head of Ford for eight years, and his official retirement date will be July 1st, 2014. Fields, who is 53 this year, has been with Ford for 25 years and has been groomed to take the helm from Mulally for the last several of those years.
There's an official press release that you can read, but if you're more of a visual person, you're welcome to watch the live video feed of the announcement down below.
2015 Galpin Ford GTR1
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Last year in Monterey, we met GTR1 for the first time. Galpin Auto Sports pulled the wraps off its Ford GT-based supercar, powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-liter V8 good for a whopping 1,024 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. The thing was totally custom-made and reportedly took some 12,000 man hours to create. And there it sat on the Pebble Beach grass, $1,000,000-plus price tag and all.
This year, the Galpin was back, albeit with one big change. That twin-turbo engine? Gone. In its place, a 5.4-liter V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted on, delivering an astonishing 1,058 hp and 992 lb-ft of torque on 110-octane fuel. 0-60? 2.9 seconds. Top speed? Somewhere above 225 miles per hour.
"Some things to keep in mind: no stability control, no traction control," were the only warnings given by Galpin's Brandon Boeckmann before taking me on a quick spin in the supercar. And after having my eyes thrown into the back of my skull a few times, laughing hysterically and trying to regain full use of my hearing after my ear drums being bombarded by the apocalyptic roar behind me, Brandon pulled over and said it was my turn, if I was ready to take the wheel.
