Ford 5 Window Coupe, Chevy Supercharged 350 Engine on 2040-cars
Bolingbrook, Illinois, United States
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. |

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Xcar celebrates 100-year anniversary with Model T tribute
Fri, Jan 9 2015Never mind the fact that XCar hasn't been making videos for the last 100 years, the British duo have gone all silent-moving-pictures in order to make their centenary case for the Ford Model T, a car that was already seven years old in 1915. It's not a review, but a mostly sepia-tinged look at the car that started the mass-market adventure by taking that biblical advice to be fruitful and multiply and populate the Earth abundantly. Since it looks like Xcar is celebrating some kind of milestone, we've also included another video below of the first Xcar review we could find, covering the BMW M1, from the much more recent past - circa 2012.
