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.

J Mays' legacy

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses

Wed, 25 Jul 2012

Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.
