What a great hot rod! I bought this 1931 Ford Model A Pickup truck about 3 years ago. And just have not driven it like I had planned so I’m selling it I purchased it out of Texas. This is not a camouflaged flat black hunk of junk rusty turd rat rod that was thrown together!!! This is a true hot rod stunner.

Although I didn’t do the work to it, it’s a newer build with less than 100 miles since the build was finished. The truck has a nice small block Chevy V8 and an automatic transmission, (looks like a turbo 350 to me, but not sure.) Lots of money spent on chrome. The frame has been boxed and channeled so it can handle the power of the Chevy engine. There’s no question this was a frame up restoration. It has Mustang II front suspension, custom built 4 link rear suspension, Front disc brakes and rear drums. It has new wheel Vintiques painted rally wheels with chrome centers and beauty rings. 15-10s in the rear and 14-7s in the front. The console and interior have been fabricated out of good ol all American steel, as opposed to glass. Lots and lots of hours and dollars have obviously been put into this build. If you have ever tried to build one of these things, you know how much work and $$$$$$$ it takes! (kinda like building a barbecue…don’t plan to build and eat on Father’s day!!) The truck is about 90% steel, with the front fenders being fiberglass. The truck has power brakes with the master cylinder and brake booster being under the floor (clean firewall!!!!). The wiring is all new with modern electronics, 12 volt alternator, and newer style fuse box.

The whole interior (dash, seats, carpet, and door panels), wheels, and tires are like new. The bed is gorgeous Oak with red metal accents and a custom wood box that houses the gas tank. With flat black paint with custom hand pin striping in cream and red, this truck pops. The pinstripes compliment the red interior nicely. A Tan soft top is included in this auction. I personally think it looks way cooler without it…and way more fun to drive. It is very easy for one person to take it on and off. Of course, no hot rod is complete without an “Oogah” horn. It’s stamped with a Ford Body number of A4700734. I know there’s a way to decode these but not sure how. (not my field of expertise)

There aren’t too many of these trucks around, and this one is a real head turner. Instead of wasting your summer on trying to build a hot rod, pick this up just in time for the show season!! The newer engine and transmission mean that it has a top speed over 46 mph… ha ha! (sorry flat head 4 cylinder) and it’s a pure joy to drive. Please don’t plan on flying in and driving to Maryland…the truck might make it but you won’t! These always need “tweaking” so plan to get it and adjust to your liking. I have driven this truck less than 20 miles in three years…hence I’m selling it. I have way too many hot rods and projects. The only things I have noticed, it may need to be serviced,(all fluids properly checked, as it has been sitting for a while) and I never have liked the shifter, I like to put Lokar shifters in all my hot rods. Texas clean title reads 1931 Ford PK. Don’t let this get away!!!!

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest

Tue, Jun 16 2015

There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.

Ford, Chrysler and Mazda expand scope of Takata airbag recalls

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The scope of the Takata airbag inflator recall is ballooning once again across the United States. Where Honda has elected to take its driver-side airbag campaign nationwide, Chrysler Group and Ford have now announced expanded regional actions to cover some passenger-side airbag inflators. Mazda is adding more regions, as well. For Chrysler Group, the campaign covers the inflators on 149,150 examples of the 2003-model-year Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups. The recall is limited to vehicles sold or ever registered in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. The company will begin notifying affected customers on January 19. According to Chrysler's announcement of the action, the passenger side inflators in these trucks "are of a type that is not used in any of the other vehicles affected by Chrysler Group's regional field action." The automaker says that it's not aware of any actual failures or accidents in these pickups and even claims there are no "observed failures in laboratory testing of its airbag modules." The company is continuing to study the problem, though. Ford is taking a similar step by issuing a recall of inflators for 38,500 examples of the 2004-2005 Ranger and 2005-2006 Ford GT. The campaign only affects vehicles originally sold or ever registered in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Certain zip codes of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa are also covered. There's already precedent for passenger-side airbags to be covered under the Takata inflator recall. When many automakers announced campaigns in June, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota all included that side in some of their repairs. Subaru subsequently did, as well. In addition, Mazda is expanding the scope of its recall to add Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Saipan, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas to the affected areas. The company estimates that it has a total of 86,773 vehicles in need of repair. Mazda is also teaming with Toyota to begin independent testing of the Takata inflators. Scroll down to read all of the automakers' announcements of these newly expanded recalls. Statement: Air-Bag Inflators December 3, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich.
