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.

2015 Roush Mustang lineup officially revealed

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
