Here is a very nice 30 A Coupe mounted on a made-to-fit 32 chassis. This car started as a clean, rust-free NC body which was then chopped 4" with the roof being filled in the process. It has a very nicely constructed full steel floor from firewall to tail lights with a louvered pan in the rear. The chassis is a unit built for this purpose by one of the best and well known race car builders in the NE. The rails are pinched to fit the 30 body and also bobbed in the rear. Crossmembers are well built using square tubing and the whole unit is a work of art in itself. The rear is a new Winters quick-change using 3:22 helicals that is not locked, uses normal Ford type brakes and has radius rods, panhard bar and coil-overs. There is a lot of polished aluminum, chrome and stainless along with well done AN hoses on fuel and transmission lines. All the info on the engine is from the builder who tells me that it is a LT1 350 using pink rods, forged pistons, roller rockers, .538 lift cam with World Products heads, MSD ignition, Walker radiator, Edelbrock air gap and carb and headers. I cannot document any of the engine internals but it certainly runs well. Exhaust is full polished stainless from front to rear and is another work of art in itself. Interior is nicely done with a full compliment of gauges, tilt wheel and a heater. Wheels are Halibrand copies and are very nice. This little car starts, runs, drives and stops very well and would make an excellent low cost starter hot rod which could be taken to the next level if desired. It is and always has been a driver as indicated by the current graveyard of bugs on the radiator, these are thrown in at no extra cost to the new owner. All the aluminum on the car could use polishing but then you would need sun glasses. Also included is a three piece hood that fits rather well and is held in place by Zeus fasteners when desired. All three parts can be used or just the top if desired. Most questions about what is included can be answered by carefully looking at the photos. In the interest of honesty and full disclosure there are a few things that should be addressed although the car is fine to use as-is. As I sadly learned recently, a lie of omission is still a lie. First it has no e-brake whatsoever although the holes are present in the backing plates to add cables. One front tire is worn on the outside from being used on another car with questionable alignment. The steering wheel is very nice 17" Schroeder but with the car being so small and the steering so easy a 15" would make entry and exit somewhat easier. Another item I would change is the very tall Lokar shift handle which almost reaches the ceiling, awkward to reach the lockout at best. Lastly, the Sun tach does not function but may be looked at in the future if time allows.  I am sure there may be some other questionable areas as on any used car but I have not found them. If I do they will be posted. Title is a clear and open NYS title/registration. This car is now listed elsewhere and may be sold at any time. Looking for vintage Triumph motorcycle trade-in.

Ford recalling nearly 5,700 2014 F-150s for power steering issue

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Ford is recalling 5,675 of its 2014 F-150 pickups over an issue with the electric power steering system. There haven't been any injuries or accidents due to the issue.
Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Autoblog that the "electric power-assisted steering and motor position sensor gear were incorrectly installed by a supplier," leading to the recall.
While the recall is larger on the surface, it's important to note that only 260 trucks have been delivered to customers. The remaining pickups are currently en route to dealers. The affected vehicles were manufactured between May 26 and June 19.

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.

Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
