For Sale 1956 Ford F100 Custom Cab w. completely overhauled 1956 T-Bird 312 Y-Block (NO RESERVE).

OK, I TRY THIS AGAIN! THIS TIME ONLY SERIOUS BUYERS PLEASE, NO "EXPERTS" THAT WANT TO HELP ME SELLING THE TRUCK!! ALSO, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK IF YOU WONDER ABOUT THE PRICE! IT IS PRICED TO SELL TO MAKE ROOM FOR ANOTHER TOY! IF IT DOES NOT SELL THIS TIME AROUND I WILL SHOW IT AT THE CHARLOTTE AUTO FAIR IN 3 WEEKS IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT. THANKS

This is a very solid all steel truck! It sounds great and runs very strong, I drive it every week ever since the engine was totally rebuild about 10 month ago. I love to run errands with it and go to the local car shows! I'm the third owner and the second owner purchased the Truck in 1975 and restored it about 15 years ago, but it needed a professional engine overhaul. The Truck has been kept inside since for many years. The body is super straight, the tilt hood needs some adjustment. The truck is rust and bondo free with one exception, the passenger door has some minor rust on the lower door panel, see picture. Paint is of older restoration, looks good but has normal scratches and scuffs (see pictures), but absolutely no dents! Steel floor boards, original steel fenders, truck bed and hood!

I hate to sell it, but I got too many toys as it is. This truck is very solid with thousands of dollars in engine work alone. Receipt and detailed pictures available upon sale.

This is not one of these boring Restomods!!! This is your authentic 1956 F100 with the brand and time period correct engine upgrade!!

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.
