1929 Model A Roadster, 50's Built Hot Rod, No Reserve!!! on 2040-cars
Canby, Oregon, United States
This an original Portland built roadster. Purchased by the last owner in the early 60's, it was a running driving car at that time. Unfortunately no one in the family remembers what engine it had nor anything else about it. It has sat untouched for 50 plus years. The car is heavily channeled over a very modified frame. Definitely a well done car, it may have some show history. It also has a Carson type lift off top made by the Portland Top Company. It is in poor condition but could be recovered. The rear wood bows have spread at one end but could be steamed back into shape, has a great tag on it still. set up for a saddle mount sbc. original 32 grille shell and insert that has been expertly chopped.
Front axle is dropped and drilled, 4 bar suspension. Rear suspension is unknown, I have a 9 inch strapped in to roll it but I think it may have been set up for independent. Has a very nice roll bar setup, not just for looks. needs some repair behind the doors, right rear fender well has some minor rust. 32 dash that has been filled, recessed firewall. Set up for nerf bars front and rear. I set a 32 closed car windshield on it just so you get an idea of how it might look, the windshield posts have been chopped and it would take a 10 inch tall windshield, the 32 windshield is not included. This could be a fantastic car. I have included a pic of Tweety Bird, a 32 that looks similar in style. There is no title, bill of sale only. Bid to own, no reserve. I have a 56 265 with very low miles for an additional $400. I can store the car for a couple months, it steers by moving the front wheels by hand, rolls easily. |

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
2015 Galpin Ford GTR1
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Last year in Monterey, we met GTR1 for the first time. Galpin Auto Sports pulled the wraps off its Ford GT-based supercar, powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-liter V8 good for a whopping 1,024 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. The thing was totally custom-made and reportedly took some 12,000 man hours to create. And there it sat on the Pebble Beach grass, $1,000,000-plus price tag and all.
This year, the Galpin was back, albeit with one big change. That twin-turbo engine? Gone. In its place, a 5.4-liter V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted on, delivering an astonishing 1,058 hp and 992 lb-ft of torque on 110-octane fuel. 0-60? 2.9 seconds. Top speed? Somewhere above 225 miles per hour.
"Some things to keep in mind: no stability control, no traction control," were the only warnings given by Galpin's Brandon Boeckmann before taking me on a quick spin in the supercar. And after having my eyes thrown into the back of my skull a few times, laughing hysterically and trying to regain full use of my hearing after my ear drums being bombarded by the apocalyptic roar behind me, Brandon pulled over and said it was my turn, if I was ready to take the wheel.
Ford talking unibody Ranger replacement
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Now here's some welcome news. Car and Driver reports Ford is seriously mulling a replacement for the recently deceased Ranger, but the successor to the compact pickup's throne may not look anything like what we've seen from the nameplate in the past.
While speaking at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Doug Scott, marketing manager for Ford Trucks, said there's still a market for a smaller pickup, but that buyers expect to see a larger differentiation between the smaller utility vehicles and their full size counterparts in price, capability and fuel economy.
According to Scott, that means a vehicle with a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds paired with a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and "a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption." But the biggest piece of that recipe is the price tag, and Scott says to keep the MSRP far enough away from the already cheap F-150, the answer could come in the form of a unibody design. Scott says target customers in this market don't care whether the truck has a traditional frame or not, so long as it's tough enough to do the job and has the capability they need.
