Vintage Ford 1928-1929 Model A Coupe Hot Rod, Scta 1932 on 2040-cars
Burnsville, Minnesota, United States
Up for auction is my personal Original Henry Steel 1929 Ford Model A Coupe. The car is setup on an original, pinched, 1932 Chassis. The Car comes equipped with a 307 Small Block Chevrolet. I also put a new intake with 2 Edelbrock 4 barrel carbs from Speedway. I am also running Gear Drive Lake Headers with baffles. The car is running a Turbo 350 Trans with a 1966 Nova rear. The car has been chopped, approximately, 3 inches so plenty of room. I am 6' 1" and have another couple of inches of head room to go. The brakes are Bendix style, self energizing in the front with the Nova rear drums in back. It is running 15" Firestone bias ply tires all around. Tires only have 3k miles on them so plenty of tread left. Car has all garnish moldings in place along with cut glass. I purchased a 32 style dash (not painted) and also placed a full set of brand new Stewart Warner gauges in it.
You can drive this car anywhere. I have taken it on an 800+ mile trip for the last couple of years and runs like a champ. It's a traditional hot rod so it consumes some oil on long trips and drips small amounts of oil when parked. This is not a street rod or show car. Its a DRIVER that you hop in and go. Rides very well at 65 and 70 mph. One finger on the steering wheel. The only reason that I am selling it is because I have 5 other cars and not enough space to keep them. I have nothing to hide with this car. If you have questions please don't hesitate to contact me. I buy many hot rods myself and don't like bad experiences. I am surely not going to deliver one to the new owner of this car. This is a bitchin little hot rod so bid away. The car has a clean MN title in my name. The buyer is responsible for paying a $500 Non Refundable deposit 48 hours after the winning bid, via Pay Pal. The buyer is also responsible for all shipping costs associated with getting the car to its new home. OR COME PICK IT UP AND DRIVE IT HOME! The buyer and I will discuss the remainder of the payment via telephone. The car is being sold as is and with no warranty stated or implied. Once the car is purchased it is yours. |

Ford mulling EcoSport for US? [w/poll]
Mon, 03 Jun 2013"We certainly have that ability. We're studying it very, very closely." Those are the words of Jim Farley, global head of sales, marketing, service at Ford. The investigation Farley is referring to is the possibility of selling the company's new EcoSport crossover in America.
The diminutive Fiesta-based EcoSport was developed for emerging markets like Brazil and, more recently, China, but it apparently may have a future in the States, where it would form a new entry-level rung below the Escape in Ford's already robust crossover stable. Ford has big plans for its tiny CUV - Farley tells Automotive News that the EcoSport is only available in 10 countries right now, but by 2017, its distribution will have mushroomed to 62 countries. At the time the second-generation model launched at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show as a 2013 model, Ford said the EcoSport would eventually be sold in nearly 100 markets worldwide.
The Brazilian- and Indian-assembled EcoSport is available with a variety of gasoline-powered engines, but the 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost giving 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque would seem to be the powertrain of choice for America, as it was recently confirmed for the stateside 2014 Fiesta.
eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype
Wed, 08 May 2013Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.
2015 Ford Focus
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.
