For sale is a 1937 Ford Coupe I bought about a year ago. I picked it up for a cruise nights/local shows car but found something I like better. It’s an all steel car with great lines and very solid. It has a supercharged Chevy 350, 4 speed, heavy clutch and a Ford posi rear end with a 411 or 457 gear set in it. Since I bought it I put a new Holly carb on it, had the supercharger,  a B&M 144, rebuilt by Dyer’s  Blower shop.  I also had some other work done on it by Midwest Hotrod. I had them put in a new aluminum radiator, the old one had calcified. They rebuilt the rear brake cylinders and bled the lines. The trunk had bubbles in the paint along the bottom edge so I also had Midwest fix that and repaint it and some other areas that need a minor touch up. The mechanic said he thinks they put in an AMC front end in the car. As far as the rest of body goes, it’s very sturdy and rust free. I don’t know much about the history of the car. I’m guessing the car was a 1970’s build, judging from the interior work and style. It works but it’s antiquated. Looks like maybe a 1970’s GM dash. The car also has a sun roof and an opera seat in the cab.  It runs strong. I didn’t get it finished until last fall, so I’ve only put about 50 miles on it since the refresh was done. There’s been a lot of 1937’s on the EBAY site lately, mostly going for $35,000.00 to $45,000.00 This car can easily be taking to the next level  and customized more to your personal tastes for much less the difference of site  cars and what I’m asking for mine. The only things wrong that I’m aware of is speedometer doesn’t work (I was thinking about digital gauges anyway if I redid the Interior)  and if you fill up the gas tank all the way there is a small drip that goes away after a 5 or 10 mile ride. A $500.00 Deposit is due within 48 hours of close of Auction, Payment in full within 7 days of Auction Close via certified funds, or cash. Car needs to be picked up within 15 days of end of auction. Insurance, tags, taxes and shipping fees are the buyer’s responsibility.

Ford GT, Buick Avenir and Audi Q7 take 2015 EyesOn Design awards

Thu, Jan 15 2015

The annual EyesOn Design Awards at the Detroit Auto Show allows some of the greatest designers in the world to weigh in on the best production and concept debuts at the big event each year. For 2015, the large panel of judges included luminaries like Frank Stephenson of McLaren, Ralph Gilles from FCA and Moray Callum of Ford. Apparently the editors at Autoblog had a good eye because the winner of 2015's Best Designed Production Vehicle award went to the Ford GT, which was also our favorite debut from the show. The new supercar beat the Acura NSX and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe for the honor. The judges described the Blue Oval's shape as "capturing the original GT40 in a modern interpretation," according to EyesOn Design. The Buick Avenir was also a big winner in the awards this year and received the nods for both Best Designed Concept Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials. In the concept category, it beat out the Chevrolet Bolt and Mercedes-Benz F 015, and in the latter group, the sedan triumphed over Audi Q7, Mercedes F 015 and Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE. The Q7 received its own accolade for Best Designed Interior, and it beat the Avenir and Infiniti Q60 for the honor. This year's Lifetime Design Achievement Award went to former Renault designer Patrick le Quement, and Bob Lutz received the EyesOn Design Catalyst Award for the second time. The honor is for an executive "who has empowered great design," according to the organization, which describes Lutz perfectly. Scroll down to read the announcement with more comments about the winners.

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.

Ford jumps back in the water with marinized 6.2L V8

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Nameplates like the Mercury Mariner and Lincoln Navigator aside, Ford hasn't offered a marine engine in over two decades. But through a new partnership with one of the biggest names in the business, the Dearborn-based automaker is dipping its proverbial toes back in the water.
Announced yesterday at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the new partnership between Ford Component Sales and Indmar Marine Engines will see the 6.2-liter V8 from the F-150 SVT Raptor and F-Series Super Duty marinized for use in boats.
The largest privately owned inboard gasoline marine engine manufacturer in the world, Indmar has been in the business for 43 years, and figures the Ford V8 will be just what watersport enthusiasts are looking for to tow waterskiers and wakeboarders to their hearts' content.
