 An argument can be made that the Ford AV8 was the first true hot rod.  Emulating the Lakes and street racers of the late 30s and early 40s,
 this little roadster definitely fits the bill.  True to its tradition, it was recently honored with the Joe Mac Memorial Award at the annual
 Antique Nationals in Pomona, CA.

 Motivation comes from a fully-balanced, ported, polished, and relieved 1946 59a flathead; 0.060" over with a Merc crank for 266 cu. in.  
 Timing is handled by a rare and potent Iskenderian 1007 LD (long duration) Track Grind camshaft, the "Impacter".  Fuel and air are
 churned by an original pair of 97s and delivered to a rare and original Edelbrock Block Letter manifold.  Firing the mix is a Kurten dual-coil, 
 dual-point ignition with original Ford coils converted to 12v.  Containing the explosive gasses, is an ultra-rare set of original Edelbrock
 Block Letter heads.  Spent fuel exits through custom-made headers and a pair of Smithy's.  Cooling the motor is an original Deuce
 radiator rebuilt by the Brassworks, Paso Robles, CA.

 Rowing the gears is a '39 Ford box delivering torque to a very rare Culver City Model A quick change (final gear:  3.46), both assembled 
 by Nick and Ken Smith at Hot Rod Works, Caldwell, ID.

 The gennie Ford chassis was TIG welded for strength with further mods made by Derek Bower to improve rigidity.  A modified Ford F1 
 crossmember and Heim-jointed pedal assembly make for smooth braking and shifting.  Steering is by a rebuilt F1 steering box with
 NOS sector shaft and worm gear and original Deuce pitman arm.

 Handling the front suspension chores is an original Deuce 4" dropped axle, spindles, wishbone, and spring; rebuilt courtesy of Jay and Joe
 Kennedy at the Bomb Factory, Pomona, CA.  Pete and Jake shocks finish the package.

 Slowing things down are rebuilt '47 Ford hydraulic brakes with '40 backing plates.

 Rolling stock comes from '39 Ford wide-five hubs and wheels, 16 x 4" front and 16 x 5" rear, wrapped in Firestone 5.50 ribs and 7.50 bias-belts.
 NOS '39 Ford standard caps and '40 trim rings complete the look. 

 Monitoring the motor are rare, curved glass Stewart-Warner gauges:  3 & 1/2" mechanical tach with complete S-W brass-arm tach drive, 2 & 5/8"
 oil pressure and water temp gauges.  Completing the interior is a cut-down Glide seat with ultra-cool vintage Beechcraft airplane seat belts.

 The body is original Ford steel in PPG black base/clear coat with original Ford Deuce grill shell and insert.  NOS B-L-C 682-J headlamps with 
 Halogen conversion.  Final detailing by Bill Larzelere, Burbanl, CA and Joe Kennedy.  Chrome and nickel plating by Christensen Plating,
 Vernon, CA.
 
 A $2000, non-refundable deposit is due within 3 days at end of auction.  Total payment is due within 14 days (PayPal, cash,
 Cashier's Check).  Successful bidder is responsible for shipping.

 For any questions, feel free to call me @ 213 703 3638.  Thanks, mike.

Generation Z prefers Ford, wants better fuel efficiency

Mon, Mar 2 2015

Fear not the future, dear green-car enthusiast. For the youngest drivers like good gas mileage. And they don't really like SUVs or trucks. Breathe easier. About 80 percent of drivers ages 16 to 21, part of what's known as 'Generation Z,' prefer cars more than any other type of larger light-duty vehicle, with about half of that group preferring compact cars, The Detroit News says, citing data company MaritzCX. That company polled about 1,100 prospective young car buyers and found them to put a priority on fuel economy because that group is... well, cheap. To put that demographic's vehicle choice into perspective, just a third of light-duty vehicles sold in the US last year were cars, while the rest were SUVs and trucks. So the future is bright, and possibly devoid of some of the smog we're now seeing. Meanwhile, Ford is the most popular brand among younger drivers, again reflecting that company's more recent emphasis on hybrids, plug-ins and high-fuel-economy gas-burning engines. Ford's US green car sales fell 1.4 percent last year to about 86,500 units (falling C-Max Hybrid demand pulled the American automaker's numbers down), so we'd think that this is very welcome news for the Blue Oval.

Amazon can now deliver packages to some Ford and Lincoln vehicles

Tue, Apr 30 2019

Nothing succeeds without complications popping up along the way. Sure, Amazon's Prime delivery services have made shopping more convenient than brushing your teeth, but leaving millions of packages on doorsteps comes with an inherent danger: Thieves might swipe them without anybody knowing. Amazon's solution is called Amazon Key, which allows delivery men and women to enter a customer's house or car to drop off a package. This week, Ford and Lincoln announced they would be partnering with Amazon to integrate the service into some of their vehicles. Ford is following in the footsteps of Volvo and General Motors, as both companies announced their participation about a year ago. That includes Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC. Key will be made available for 2017-and-newer Fords equipped with FordPass Connect, and 2018-and-later Lincolns with Lincoln Connect. Key is not available everywhere, but it can be used in dozens of city throughout the U.S., and the network is expanding. To look for compatibility for your car and city, check on Amazon's dedicated Key website. Like every other tech invention these days, Key requires a smart device application, which requires a one-time setup. The service is available on the Key app or the FordPass and Lincoln Way apps. While ordering on Amazon, customers will then select in-car delivery during checkout. Input a public delivery address, and park the car within two blocks of that address. While the order is in transit, Amazon will provide status updates, another feature that takes away some of the anxiety of waiting for a package to be delivered. The package will be put into the car within a four-hour window, and users will get notifications that the exchange is complete, and the car is again securely locked. Should customers change their minds, they can always cancel the delivery method, and the car will remain locked. In that case, the delivery could go to the building where the car is parked, or be rescheduled. Ford imagines this as the beginning of numerous car-based services in the near future that can be scheduled while the owner is not there, such as car washes.

Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford F-150 Raptor join Lego Speed Champs

Tue, Oct 20 2015

Get ready to park some performance machines on your desk: Lego's 2016 line of Speed Champions kits will add seven new vehicles for next year, according to an update to the database Brickset. These include some serious muscle like a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Ford Mustang GT. There's also a listing called "Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race" and a very cool combo titled "Ford F-150 Raptor Ford/Model A Hot Rod". Fans of European performance don't need to be jealous, though. The database shows a kit called "Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane." Plus for fans of the Four Rings, the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and R8 LMS Ultra are also getting their own Lego models. Fourtitude appears to have some leaked shots, if you want to see what these kits will look like. Lego has partnered with Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari and offers Speed Champions kits for vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and LaFerrari. The models in the series aren't as heavily detailed as the massive Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Bus sets, but they make up for that in value. The individual cars retail for a fairly affordable $14.99. The Formula One playset tops the current range at $99.99, but it comes with a truck, racecar and team figures.
