1931 Model A roadster highboy project with a "B" motor. I just bought an unexpected project so I decided that I have to sell my prewar/ postwar stripped down roadster project. This car is about 80% done and will not take much to finish. This is a late 31' deluxe roadster titled in my name and registered to the number on it's super clean original chassis. I pulled the body and had the bare frame sandblasted and etch primed and painted black along with all the other suspension parts. The front suspension has a stock wishbone, Okie Joe 4" dropped A axle, 37-41 round back spindles, 40' juice brakes, 40' lever shocks. Stock A steering box, pitman arm, and wheel.
Rear suspension is original A banjo with 40' Juice brakes, original A spring reversed and 3 leafs removed, stock radius rods and torque tube. 40' lever shocks. All the suspension parts have been cleaned and all wear items and hardware replaced if needed. B motor was a running take out from a mint B chassis. I took the pan off and shimmed the Babbitt with plastigauge and checked everything. Custom header and downdraft intake made with WAC custom flanges. Ultra rare Simmons Super Power Head, and Thomas finned valve cover. Nice Ford 94 carb. Stock B head and water pump is also available. Stock A trans and flywheel housing. Wheels and tires are 16 X 4 steel wheels on all 4 corners with like new 4.50-16 firestone deluxe champions on the front and New 7.00-16 firestone Deluxe champions on the rear. I will be glad to sell the car less wheels and tires. The Body is a nice original body that looks to have never had any exterior patch panels. The subrails are really nice. The wheel wells need to be replaced and there has been patch work on the rear floors. The Rumble lid and doors are really nice with very minimal work to fix. I have the deluxe top irons, wood bows, and back glass. Car needs to have the brakes gone thru, master cyl mounted, brakes plumbed, wiring, radiator checked, etc I have a lot of new parts for the car and I am sure I am forgetting a lot of details so please call me for more info.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
Ford cuts F-150 fuel use through CNG-capable fleet sales, EcoBoost
Tue, May 13 2014The possibility of $1-a-gallon fuel would make a lot of US governmental entities sit up and take notice. The state of Oklahoma and the city of Dallas are making that happen. Those two entities are buying up a bunch of Ford F-150 pickups retrofitted to run on compressed natural gas (CNG), all in the name of cost savings and emissions reduction. Oklahoma is buying 256 of the F-150s, while Dallas is buying another 65. The trucks, which cost between $6,000 and $9,500 to retrofit (on top of the original price), can run on either CNG or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). And while that's a substantial hit, conversion costs are typically paid back in three years thanks to lower refueling costs. CNG prices are as low as $1.07 a gallon in parts of Oklahoma. How much lower? The national average price for CNG is about a buck and a half less than the $3.67 average per-gallon cost of gasoline. And CNG prices are as low as $1.07 a gallon in parts of Oklahoma, where CNG is plentiful. CNG also cuts tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions by about 20 percent compared with gasoline, while the retrofitted trucks can go as far as 450 miles from their CNG tanks in addition to the 300-mile range from their conventional tanks. That's useful in a bit state like Texas. This week, the US Energy Department trumpeted a $5.9-billion loan program that Ford accessed to upgrade its factories for production of its EcoBoost engines, noting that Ford has sold a half-million F-150 trucks with EcoBoost engines. Those trucks have collectively cut fuel use by almost 57 million gallons of gas during the past three-plus years. Check out Ford's press release on the F-150 purchases below and the Energy Department's statement about its loan program here. OKLAHOMA, DALLAS ORDER 300-PLUS CNG-CAPABLE FORD F-150 PICKUPS AS DEMAND GROWS FOR ALTERNATIVE FUEL OPTION The state of Oklahoma and its agencies to buy 256 Ford F-150 trucks prepped to run on compressed natural gas; Dallas orders 65 for its fleet 2014 F-150 available with gaseous-fuel prep option on 3.7-liter V6 engine; can run on CNG or liquefied petroleum gas (also called propane autogas) By summer, Ford will offer eight vehicles that can run on clean-burning, affordable CNG; the company is on track to sell more than 15,000 such vehicles in 2014 The state of Oklahoma, its agencies and the city of Dallas have ordered a total of 321 Ford F-150 pickups that can run on compressed natural gas.
Ford builds one-off 50th anniversary Mustang Convertible for charity
Thu, 08 May 2014At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.
