This truck was restored by the restoration shop that produced two Fine Point vehicles that won The Henry twice in MARC and First Place in MAFCA National events. It was restored in the same shop, using the same equipment, methods, jigs and fixtures that were used to produce those two award winning vehicles. It has a professional paint job of very high quality. It has aver 95% original hardware, original sheet metal, hood and fenders, etc. The rear fenders and custom stake bed were made from drawings accumulated from the Benson Ford Research Center in Greenfield Village in Detroit, Michigan. We have an addition Model A Tudor that we use for driving on tours, and this has just been in a temperature controlled garage for most of it's existance. It is a GORGEOUS truck in EXCELLANT condition. It has never been more than 8 miles from home. It has less than 300 miles in three years. The motor has been completely rebuilt with a mild high compression head, and the transmission and shift tower have been professionally restored. It has completely new brakes and the rear end has been completely gone thru and completely restored. The gearshift and emergency brake have been properly butler nickel plated. The truck is equipped with two tail lights and turn signals that sound when flashing, and it has a third brake light mounted at the front of the bed. The tail gate an all the stake sides are removable. I built it for my wife to carry hay and items around the farm, but she is fearfull of scratching the 'new' truck. I have been involved more and more with metal shaping and am currently building an aluminum bodied Model A speedster and that is requiring additional types of equipment, and that is the reason for the sale. I am also looking for motor components for a 1928 20 HP Rolls Royce boat tail speedster engine. Any leads would be appreciated. A NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of $500 is due within 24 hours of the auction closing, and the balance in 7-days in either cash or preferably a bank wire transfer. NO THIRD PARTY BS or equivalant. I am not interested in shipping, and this vehicle needs to be picked up within 10 days from the conclusion of the auction/sale. I HAVE THIS VEHICLE LISTED LOCALLY, AND CLAIM THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY!

BMW to follow Honda back into F1?

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

The economic downturn wrought devastating effects on motor racing. Formula One alone lost half its engine suppliers when Honda left at the end of the 2008 season, and both BMW and Toyota followed at the end of 2009. But things are looking up again. Cosworth may have dropped out this season, reducing the engine suppliers to three: Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes, the latter of which admits that it may have left had the engine formula not changed. But Mercedes has stayed and is dominating the championship. Honda is coming back next season. And word around the paddock is it may not be the only one.
According to Giancarlo Minardi - founder of the team now known as Scuderia Toro Rosso - BMW engineers have been conspicuously spotted lately at F1 test sessions and grands prix, lending to speculation that the new engine regulations may entice the Bavarian automaker back into the series. According to Minardi, BMW's marketing division is pushing for the automaker's return to F1, with the board slated to make a decision in May. BMW would be more likely to consider an engine-supply deal rather than taking a team over like it had with Sauber, but with which team or teams it might collaborate remains a big question mark at this point.
As if that's not enough, Ford is said to be considering taking over Cosworth's aborted V6 turbo engine program to take both outfits back into the sport as well. Cosworth supplied F1 engines under the Ford banner for years, but returned under its own name for four seasons from 2010 through 2013 before shuttering its program to develop an engine to meet the new regulations adopted this season.

How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.

2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.
