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 exec downplays idea of aluminum-intensive cars
Thu, Jan 15 2015Ford certainly made waves when it rolled out the all-new 2015 F-150 made primarily out of aluminum. But while trimming weight off its vehicles is a top priority for the Detroit automaker, we shouldn't expect the lightweight metal to be used as widely on passenger cars as it has been on its new pickup. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress on Wednesday, top Ford exec Joe Hinrichs said that using aluminum in passenger cars isn't as beneficial as it is in trucks – primarily because the weight savings isn't as dramatic, or as deeply needed. Though improved fuel economy is certainly one advantage of aluminum construction in a truck like the F-150, low prices at the pump have prompted Ford to highlight another advantage, and that's capability: With less weight on its own, a lighter-weight truck can carry and tow more than a heavier one, because it all comes down to combined weight ratings. Ford is expected to make the new F-Series Super Duty largely out of aluminum for the same reasons, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the next Expedition use the material as well. But while certain components in Ford passenger cars will be made of aluminum, we shouldn't expect entire chassis and bodywork assemblies to use the material as extensively as on the F-150, or on more upscale passenger cars from the likes of Audi or Jaguar. Dearborn is, however, investing in other lightweight materials. It has a joint venture with Dow Chemical to put carbon fiber into mass production, much as BMW has with its i3. The Blue Oval will use a combination of carbon and aluminum on its 2017 GT supercar, and it has stripped weight by removing amenities from the 2016 Mustang GT350R, but apparently neither is a method Ford can practically apply to its volume models.

2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
