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 !!

RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.

Ford idling Michigan Assembly Plant to trim Focus, C-Max supply

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ford will be putting the brakes on production at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, idling production during the weeks of October 28 and December 16. Ford is citing the first drop in US sales in 27 months, a 4.2-percent dip in September, as the impetus for trimming their supplies, according to Automotive News.
Ford's deft management of its supplies has been part of its success over the years, and seeing supplies of Focus and C-Max, the two vehicles built at MAP, rise from 58 and 108 days, respectively, to 71 and 122 days over the span of a month was apparently all that was need to justify the trimming. As AN points out, the rule of thumb for many automakers is to maintain a 60-day supply of vehicles.
"Ford has been focused on keeping their pricing in check. Their operating margin is in double digits. Nobody else is there and they're obviously very proud of that," Alan Baum, an auto analyst with Baum & Associates told AN. Keeping the supply chain operating smoothly and not increasing supplies too much is crucial to that healthy profit margin. After all, a large supply lowers prices ,which, in turn, cuts profit. So while this news might not be great for employees at MAP, who now have an extra two weeks of vacation time, it's far from a sign of problems in Dearborn. Quite the opposite, actually.

2015 Roush Mustang lineup officially revealed

Thu, 02 Oct 2014


Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."
