1956 Ford F100

OK, too many projects, not enough time, space, and money.

So.....up for auction is my '56 F100. Its a labor of love, time, and money. 1st off, I've owned the truck for many years, worked on it, fixed it, built it, changed it, and drove it. It's one of the cleanest bodies I've ever seen on a '56. The paint is absolutely shot, I mean PATINA galore. But the metal is very good. California truck, almost no rust. Raingutters clear, cab corners (4) clear, floors clear, fenders clear. The doors click shut with one finger! The doors, and the fenders, and hood line up very nice. Probably all original sheet metal. Judging by the fit and the finish.

Running gear: It has a very healthy, yet very streetable 350. Edelbrock 4bbl, full length tube headers, camelback (fuelie) 202  heads. Cam, intake, etc. 12 Volt alternator, GM HEI ignition. Very low miles on engine. Dual 2 1/2" pipes with 50 series Flowmasters. Electric choke. Click starts every time! Very dependable, yet healthy, and sounds good. Electric cooling fan. Manually operated, via a switch on the dash.

Built 350 automatic. Stock stall, nice shift kit, and cooler. Just solid, no hard shifts. Built to last. Same, very low miles as engine, and exhaust.

The transmission is hooked up to a balanced driveline, running to a GM factory disc brake rear-end. Running (I'm pretty sure) 3.42 posi. Don't quote me on that, but quite sure. It's set up as a 5bar. 4 bar with coilovers, and a panhard bar. The coilovers are adjustable, as well as the 4 bar setup.

Front suspension: Taken from a mid 70's Z/28 Camaro. Bigger disc brakes, quick ratio power steering, bigger sway bar, and stiffer coil springs. Its got the Hydro boost GM factory brake booster. Not a vacuum booster. This setup works better on engines with lopey cams. Also running a semi rare Tilt/telescopic column from a Cadillac. Very comfortable.

4 wheel, power disc brakes!

Old School Cragar mag wheels. Very good condition for being the original wheels, not repops. 10" and 8" x 15".

Good radial tires. It's got the big and little, down in front attitude look to it!! Get the attention, when I take it out for a spin!

All new wiring, modern fuse panel, several circuits, all clean and tidy.

Interior: Very sparce, all business, New Classic Instrument gauge set. Caddy Tilt/tele column, factory bench seat just recovered in black tuck n roll. Solid floors, new front windshield, and rubber weather stripping. Door glass is cracked, but cheap and easy to replace. I like the cracks, goes with the Rat Rod look.

So, all in all one very well built truck. Built to last, and built to be driven dependably. It is solid.

Needs: my opinion, yours may be different. carpeting, insulation, bed floor, door weatherstripping, door glass, paint, headliner, etc. etc.

Starts, runs, drives, shifts, and stops very well. The bedwood is missing. Again, kits are available, and fairly cheap. I was just going to run plywood, stain it and put the metal strips over the top. But, never got to it, so you can do it the way you want.

Check my other auction. I'm also selling my '67 El Camino, Chip Foose theme (black/red) 327, 4spd. bad!!

If  you have any questions, just send me a message through e-bay, and I'll get back to you asap. Ask before you bid, no surprises. And please, don't bid if  you don't have the money, haven't told your wife, no way to ship it. etc. etc. Let's not waste each others time with that stuff.  Truck is located in Chico, CA 95973. I can, and will assist with loading it on to a transporter of your choosing, and cost.

2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility shows up for duty in Chicago

Fri, Feb 13 2015

The latest upgrade for the 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility is all set to patrol the Windy City's streets with its debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show. On the outside, the revised Ford police vehicle looks basically the same as the recently refreshed Explorer with a new grille and redesigned headlights. Inside, there's a restyled steering wheel and center console. Unlike the civilian model, though, the PI Utility gets heavy-duty brakes, a more robust cooling system, reinforced subframe mounts and larger diameter suspension springs for more strength. Under the hood, police forces get to choose between either a 3.7-liter V6 with 304 horsepower and 279 pound-feet of torque or a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of twist. Regardless of powertrain, these 'utes feature a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The transmission includes the awesome-sounding Pursuit Mode feature that switches over to more aggressive shifts when it detects harder driving to properly stop crime. Related Video:

Matt Damon is Carroll Shelby, with Christian Bale in Ford vs. Ferrari film

Thu, Jun 21 2018

Right after we reported that one of the Le Mans-winning Ford GT40s is coming up for auction, word got round that its story will now be turned into a Hollywood movie. There will be an as-yet-untitled major motion picture that tells the story of Ford battling Ferrari in the 1960s, culminating in the Ford GT40's dramatic 1-2-3 finish in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. The movie has lined up an all-star cast, with "Batman" and "American Psycho" actor Christian Bale tapped to play key GT40 developer, test driver and racer Ken Miles, and "Punisher" actor Jon Bernthal as Lee Iacocca. The plum role of Carroll Shelby is going to Matt Damon, last seen driving across the Red Planet in "The Martian" or down a flight of stairs in the "Bourne" film series. The film's director will be James Mangold, known from directing last year's "Logan." View 37 Photos Autoweek reports that the original screenplay was based on A.J. Baime's book " Go Like Hell," but there will be a different screenplay written from scratch. Originally, "Go Like Hell" was to be a different project starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Meanwhile, the book will reportedly be turned into a TV series produced by Peter Dinklage of "Game of Thrones." And meanwhile some more, there are also competing Enzo Ferrari biopics in the works starring Robert De Niro and another starring Hugh Jackman that will also surely touch on the rivalry with Ford. While there's no guarantee yet that the GT40 biopic will match Steve McQueen's "Le Mans," we're got high hopes. It's a great story worthy of all the attention it's getting.
