1956 Ford vintage and classic F-250, same body as F100, 4 speed with a VERY UNIQUE engine and overdrive trans package. Here's your chance to pick up a very solid truck for restoration or customizing.

Has California title registered through Jan 2015. Includes a new factory repair manual and truck cover.

It has a 50's era V-8 Lincoln engine which was a sought after engine (Hot Rod Lincoln) at that time. The casting number on the intake manifold and block shows it is a ECU series. Whoever put this combination in was going to make a very cool rod. It currently doesn't run.

The body is virtually rust free (some surface rust) with some bondo. VERY solid cab, doors, fenders, hood, frame. Looks like the cab floor has been sandblasted and painted. It has the original seat and gas tank. Front bumper is missing, though readily available, and the rear bumper was customized. The bed has been lined with aluminum panels.

The transmission is a full synchro 4 speed with letters OD in the middle of the shifter knob which is very rare. May have come out of an F500, I've also been told it could be a Clark 5 speed made for big trucks. Clutch works and it does shift. The brakes feel like they still work. Lots of original parts still on the truck.

The 8 lug rear end was on a F250 and the 5 lug front spindles where swapped and has disc brakes installed. Also installed is an auxiliary gas tank underneath the rear of the bed. It is a very sanitary installation. It looks like an installed option with a tank switch lever in the floor of the cab.

Has most of the original dash parts and the cab is in good condition. The hood has been modified which for an original restoration would need to be changed back but for a rodder would be perfect in that it slides and tilts forward - no head banging.

This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.

Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.

Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.
