1928 FORD MODEL A 
  WHAT A CAR!!! This roadster started life almost 80 years ago as a 1928 Ford Model A Sports Coupe, it was built over a three year period ending in 2006. It was built by an experienced builder and comes with an owner’s manual showing the complete build. It has just over 6,000 trouble free miles and performs flawlessly.
The original body was widened and stretched with the final dimensions being close to those of a Plymouth Prowler. The grill has been laid back and was designed to replicate the ’33-’34 ford. The rear quarter panels were reinforced with 1/2 "x 1" steel tubing and the front cowl has been tilted back. It has a removable soft top that stores in the rear compartment that opens electrically to allow access.
The suicide doors have electric windows, hidden hinges and Bear Claw latches. The electric windows are activated with switches in the center console or remotely from the exterior for complete security. The interior has a Sony sound system, Mooneye gauges, Issota custom steering wheel, GM tilt column, 2 speed wipers, Ron Francis wiring and gray upholstery and plush gray carpeting.
The frame, rear ladder bars, panhard bar, and differential have all been powder coated silver to match the body color. The front brakes are disc and the rear brakes are drum. The frame was constructed from 2"x 4" steel tubing and was designed to fit the modified body.
Carrara coil over shocks are on both the front and rear for a very smooth and comfortable ride. The front suspension is Mustang II using power rack and pinion steering and Heidt’s control arms. It also has an e-brake, heater and cruise control.
The drivetrain consists of a 350 V8 with a 2004R overdrive automatic transmission (cruises great at 80 MPH). The transmission is shifted using a B&M Quick Silver shifter. The rear end is a 1994 full size Ford pickup with 3.25 gears for real economy with the overdrive. It has American Racing wheels 205/50ZR15 tires on the front and 255/50ZR17 tires on the rear.
This roadster drives and performs outstanding with great gas mileage. You can feel free to drive this car home in comfort and not have to worry about reliability.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company

Thu, 03 Oct 2013



That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.

Next-gen Ford Taurus spotted in China

Fri, Jan 2 2015

We're getting our first look at the next-generation Ford Taurus thanks to some spy shooters in China. While the camouflage and angle of the photo keep changes to the body a secret, there's no hiding the massive hexagonal, chrome grille up front. It lends a look very similar to the Fusion. Beyond the eye-grabbing grille, the headlights are reshaped, but are still quite squinty. There's also a new lower air dam that runs the width of the front with LEDs at the top corners. The hexagonal grille fits the design of the Fusion well, but this single image makes it look a little too big and disproportionate for the fullsize Ford sedan. Maybe the integration works better from a different angle, though. The next-gen Taurus is rumored debut for the 2016 model year and reportedly rides on a stretched and widened version of the Fusion's platform. Ford's big goal for the new model is allegedly to shed as many pounds from the scales as possible. The sedan also may get a nine-speed automatic to boost fuel economy. The engine range is still a mystery, but EcoBoost options are practically a sure thing, possibly even making up the whole model lineup.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
