1931 Ford 2dr. Deluxe Phaeton 180a on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
|
Your are bidding on an original 1931 Ford 2dr. Deluxe Phaeton. This is not a cut down sedan. I purchased this car because my '32 Roadster was too small and this looked like the solution to my problem. When I started to build it as a hotrod I found out the rarity of this body style. It is the last ( I believe) wood framed body by Murrey. I removed all of the wood, except the doors and replaced it with steel. The subframe is 1 x 4 steel tubing made for the original wood pattern. The B pillars were reproduced in steel using all the original latching points. All of the rust issues have been repaired, this is a rust free car. The patch panels were made at a restoration shop that had a 180A in for 100 point restoration. There are new Albright Towing rear fenders and new Rootlieb running boards. The front fenders are replacements and do need some attention. After completion of the build (last photo) I drove Faye to Bonneville and pushed a 500cc Lakester to a Worlds Record 182+mph. After hitting a tree and damaging the T.C.I. chassis I decided to return it to its original roots and put the body on its original frame that I had kept. It came with the rolling running gear with mechanical brakes, torque tube (no engine or trans) and what I believe are '35 16" wheels. The dash has been replaced with a '40 Ford, but can be removed. I have misplaced the original radiator and steering column/wheel; therefore, the hood and radiator shroud are just for photo purposes. I have the original convertible top mounting parts but nothing else for the top. I do not have the rear valance, I traded it for a pair of door skins, which will go with the car. I have the replacement floor that can also be included, if desired. |

Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.
MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty
Wed, 28 Nov 2012There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.
Xcar celebrates 100-year anniversary with Model T tribute
Fri, Jan 9 2015Never mind the fact that XCar hasn't been making videos for the last 100 years, the British duo have gone all silent-moving-pictures in order to make their centenary case for the Ford Model T, a car that was already seven years old in 1915. It's not a review, but a mostly sepia-tinged look at the car that started the mass-market adventure by taking that biblical advice to be fruitful and multiply and populate the Earth abundantly. Since it looks like Xcar is celebrating some kind of milestone, we've also included another video below of the first Xcar review we could find, covering the BMW M1, from the much more recent past - circa 2012.
