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 adds third shift at F-150 plant to keep up with demand

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

The signs have been very positive for Ford's F-Series line of pickup trucks as of late, and after 24 consecutive months of increasing sales of the best-selling F-150, the automaker has added a third production crew at its Kansas City Assembly Plant that includes 900 new hourly workers to meet demand for the truck. This the first step in Ford's plan to add 2,000 hourly jobs at the plant to help meet demand for its trucks and to begin production of the new Transit van, the automaker says.
Despite some tough new competition, sales of the F-Series are the strongest they've been since 2006, according to Ford. The automaker sold 60,449 F-Series in July, the best sales figure for the mid-summer month since 2006, which also represents a 23 percent increase compared to July 2012. From January to July 2013, sales were up 22 percent compared to the same period last year.
Ford has committed to creating 12,000 hourly jobs by 2015, and with the 900 new employees added to the assembly plant in Missouri, the company says it has completed 75 percent of its goal. Ford has also invested $1.1 billion to retool and expand the Kansas City Assembly Plant to ready it for Transit production. Take a look at the press release below for more job and F-Series sales information.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.
