1931 Model A Ford Flathead V8

This car is not really a RatRod it is a survivor. It was built in 1959 like it is. I've tried to keep it as close as possible to that. I've owned it for 3 years and have replaced the following: new Coker bias ply tires, all wheel cylinders, brake hoses, master cylinder, inner and outer rear axel seals, full dual exhaust, magna flow stainless steel mufflers, 6 volt battery.

Glass is in great condition, all windows roll up & down, doors close nicely. New roof. I've added turn signals and right rear tail light for safety. Still running stock gas tank which has been boiled out. All factory gages work. Oil and temperature gage are from a 1957 Jaguar and both work. Engine is a 1948 Ford flathead made in Canada, runs strong - pulls 20 inches of vacuum at idle. Tranny is 1937 Ford 3-speed. Rear end is stock banjo. Frame is Stock Model A. Dropped headlight bar. 1949 Mercury reversed rims - air valves are still on the inside of rims. I've kept all original parts on it, newest mechanical part on car is 1960 Chevy truck master cylinder also has original ansen swing pedals. All lights and charging system work great. Stock front seats. I have front and rear bumpers, spare tire and mount and rear seat upper spring frame - I have lower seat springs, not correct but will go with car anyway. I also have hood sides. I've put a super bell 4 inch dropped axle and all tie rod ends, needle bearing, king pins, and pitman arm. I've also had shocks installed all around. Steering wheel is 1940 Ford. Heater fan works. I've never hooked it up to the engine so I don't know how core is. I was told it was out of a 1940 Ford. Brake system is 1948 juice breaks. I was experimenting with paint scheme on drivers side - Detroit Diesel Green and Gloss Black - color of dash. There is a little rust on the right rear quarter panel lip and some small pinholes at bottom lip of doors (see pictures). That is the worst part on the cars body. The body is tight. There are no patch panels on this body - what you see is what you get. Body wood is also in very good condition. Car is not chopped or channeled. Front fenders are 50+ year old fiberglass in very good shape. Rest of car is all original steel.

Problems: after I installed front axle car now has front wheel wobble at low speed. I was told steering damper might alleviate this issue. Steering box has play. The wobble goes away over 30mph. Transmission pops out of 2nd gear when coming down in high rpm (just started doing this). There are no other issues with the car other than that.

I do have some knowledge of cars history as told to me by cars previous owner. Other projects force the sale of this one. Car is currently registered and inspected. Car was said to be primer red in the early 60's. It was grey when built in 1959. Car was also autographed by Candy Clark from American Graffiti (see pictures). Car is located in Nazareth, PA if you want to come look. Any questions please call Don at 917-861-6597.

Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.

Holy crime-fighting Ford F-150, Batman!

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

What would Batman drive for his weekly trips to Home Depot for the bits and pieces needed to keep his lair deep below Wayne Manor in tip-top condition? Certainly not the Batmobile - there's no way a 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit between the wheel wells, not to mention the fact that jet turbine engines have an unfortunate tendency to set trailers on fire when towing...
No, what Batman needs is a pickup truck. The boys from Ford teamed up with Galpin Auto Sports to build just such a machine, and it has just debuted at Comic Con. Designed by Jared Barris, grandson of the legendary kustomizer George Barris, the 2012 F-150 pickup you see here, dubbed Crime Fighter, is painted Tuxedo Black with Ferrari Red highlights and is affixed with fins on each side of the truck bed. It's nothing if not unique.
Well, it's at least unique for now. According to Ford, Galpin in Southern California is willing to take orders for customers looking to don a cape and hit the town for a night of crime-fighting action. Or trips to Home Depot. Check out our high-res image gallery and then scroll down for the official description from Ford. We're waiting for details such as pricing and build time from Ford, and we'll update this post if and when we hear back.

2015 Ford Mustang to make world debut on Dec. 5 [w/video]

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.
