How about a nice, dependable street rod roadster pickup that gets back to basics?!? This is an original all metal truck, (with the exception of the drivers rear fender and removable upper hood section), that is about as basic as it gets! Basic Hot Rod Black, (semi gloss enamel) paint, that you don't have to worry about chips, scuffs, bugs or dust. Just a quick wipe down, or touch up with a Sharpie when you do spot a chip! No windows, no radio, heater or any power robbing accessories! (About the only accessory on the interior of this truck is the drivers side only wiper arm, which still requires you to operate it manually, and uses no power!) This truck comes equipped with a fresh 305 V-8 Chevy engine equipped with a tri-power set up, some additional chrome goodies, an automatic transmission and a Ford 8" rear end held in place with trailing arms, adjustable Aldan coil over shocks and a panhard rod. Block hugger headers on the engine, with full exhaust back to a pair of Smitty style mufflers to tail pipes that exit out the back just below the tail gate. The frame was supplied by Speedway motors, so no problems with a rusty, repaired, who knows how many times, frame. The front end has a dropped Speedway motors front axle with hairpin radius arms, with front disc brakes, rear drums, along with a Vega manual steering gear and a tilt column. Topping the column is a Speedway motors steering wheel that connects to the iconic 'Aoogah' horn. The Spartan interior includes a compliment of gauges in the center dash, as well as a Lokar floor shifter. The interior is done in a red and white tuck and roll style as well as red carpeting and a custom floor mat made of the same material. The seat back is removable with the back of the cab being padded and upholstered so that a tall person with longer legs can comfortably sit in the cab. These older Model A's seem to have been made for somewhat shorter people in the day! But I can still get my 6'2 265 lb. body in and out of the cab and still be somewhat comfortable! But I do look forward to getting out of the cab to fill up the 7 gallon aluminum fuel tank located in the bed atop the chrome diamond plate panel which replaces the original wood bed and looks quite nice. Big and little steel, two-tone painted wheels with trim rings and baby moon center caps, and BFGoodrich tires all around. 195-60-15 tires on the front and 275-60-15 tires on the rear. I do carry a nice compact spare, with jack and handle with me when going on a run out of town! (And an extra gallon of gas in the bed just in case!) Truck has a fully removable and folding convertible top that is in excellent condition. If you're looking for a nice Model A pickup street rod to just be able to take out and have fun with, and not worry about bugs, dirt or rain this just might be the truck you have been looking for!

Ford mulling EcoSport for US? [w/poll]

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

"We certainly have that ability. We're studying it very, very closely." Those are the words of Jim Farley, global head of sales, marketing, service at Ford. The investigation Farley is referring to is the possibility of selling the company's new EcoSport crossover in America.
The diminutive Fiesta-based EcoSport was developed for emerging markets like Brazil and, more recently, China, but it apparently may have a future in the States, where it would form a new entry-level rung below the Escape in Ford's already robust crossover stable. Ford has big plans for its tiny CUV - Farley tells Automotive News that the EcoSport is only available in 10 countries right now, but by 2017, its distribution will have mushroomed to 62 countries. At the time the second-generation model launched at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show as a 2013 model, Ford said the EcoSport would eventually be sold in nearly 100 markets worldwide.
The Brazilian- and Indian-assembled EcoSport is available with a variety of gasoline-powered engines, but the 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost giving 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque would seem to be the powertrain of choice for America, as it was recently confirmed for the stateside 2014 Fiesta.

2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
