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.

Watch Ken Block play traffic cop in ’Top Gear’ teaser

Tue, Dec 26 2017

BBC is teasing a new series of 'Top Gear' starring the rally racer and Hoonigans honcho Ken Block and promising that series 25 is "coming soon." Block plays a police officer (with a Los Angeles Police Department badge, no less) in an off-road 4x4 vehicle in the 30-second clip, jumping off obstacles and tearing through dirt in an industrial area near snow-capped mountains. He gives chase to show hosts Matt LeBlanc, in a yellow Ford Mustang, Rory Reid and Chris Harris, who steers a McLaren 570S. It looks like they're having more fun that the rest of us. LeBlanc has said the next season of episodes will aim to attract a younger, more diverse audience with more comedy. Series 25 is expected to launch in spring, perhaps after the wrap-up of the second season of 'The Grand Tour.'Related Video: Celebrities TV/Movies Ford McLaren Off-Road Vehicles Performance Top Gear Ken Block

Ford defends plan to shareholders: ‘We're simply reinventing the American car’

Fri, May 11 2018

Ford's top executives took heat from shareholders over their plan to do away with sedans as we know them in Ford's North American lineup, as the company held its annual meeting Thursday. Critics said the plan to shelve the Fiesta, Focus and Taurus, reduce the Focus to one crossover model, and concentrate on high-margin trucks and SUVs was a shortsighted abandonment of entire market segments of affordable vehicles. "This doesn't mean we intend to lose those customers," Ford CEO Jim Hackett said. "We want to give them what they're telling us they really want. We're simply reinventing the American car." Ford has said SUVs/crossovers and pickups will constitute 90 percent of its North American lineup by 2020. And though only the Mustang and new Focus Active will remain, it plans to add new vehicles going forward that offer better fuel economy and utility, including EVs and hybrids. Hackett characterized the shift not as an abandonment of traditional cars but as a transformation of them. "We don't want anyone to think we're leaving anything," Hackett said. "We're just moving to a modern version. This is an exciting new generation of vehicles coming from Ford." It was Hackett's first annual meeting as CEO, and for the second year it was conducted online rather than in person. The change to Ford's lineup is part of Hackett's overall plan to cut $25.2 billion in costs by the year 2022. Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr. blamed the negative reaction to the lineup plan on media coverage. "I wish the coverage had been a little different," he said. "If you got beyond the headline, you'll see we're adding to our product lineup and by 2020 we'll have the freshest showroom in the industry. The headlines look like Ford's retreating. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth." While Ford was clear about its plans for the Blue Oval, it has been less clear about the Lincoln brand. Hackett on Thursday said only that the Lincoln Continental, re-introduced just two years ago, would continue "through its life cycle" — but it has been such a slow seller that rumor has Ford killing the Continental again after that, and Hackett made no mention of a new generation. Presumably the MKZ sedan will go away when its twin the Ford Fusion does, but although Ford has outlined end dates for other models, the Fusion's departure is open-ended. The stock price has been a frustration for investors for years and has fallen 12 percent since the first of the year.

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
