You are bidding on a 1926 Ford Chopped Hot Rod / Rat Rod w Rebuilt Chevy 350 Motor (Model T). The car has a rebuilt Chevy 350 Motor 30 overbore w/ a bigger cam w/ about 100 hours on it, a rebuilt turbo 350 transmission, Ford 9 inch rear end, tunnel ram intake w/ dual Etolebrock 500 carburetors, MFB Electronic Ignition, and Aluminum radiator w/ built in trans cooler. I've done a lot of work on the car and she still has a little bit more to go, but is a great start for anyone looking to turn her into a full blown Hot Rod! Car runs, drives, and stops fine! Back tires are like new, front tires are a little bit older but still work great. Lead black matte paint is clean w/ "Lanchester" (Bride of Frakenstein) logo on the side. Work that still needs to be done/ improvements that could be made are: needs to be fine tuned, interior needs to be completed, I put a low car trans dip stick in it which doesn't quite feel properly on the trans (causes small leak, but not coming from the case), for the best performance you can put a regular intake with a single four barrel carb to get the best off the line torque (but the tunnel ram with the dual quads just looks awesome and the car STILL RIPS!) and although I put the small MSP distributer in it, it's very close to the firewall so when I stop on the gas when the motor torques it comes a little bit out of timing (taking a small portion out of the firewall I would recommend). Buyer handles pick-up or delivery of car. Message me with any questions and thanks for looking.

2015 Ford Expedition stays the course, adds EcoBoost power
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The era of the body-on-frame, fullsize SUV is rapidly vanishing in favor of smaller, unibody crossovers. However, Ford still sees life in the segment with the reveal of the updated 2015 Expedition, now available (solely) with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. The new truck will make its public debut at the 2014 DFW Auto Show in Dallas on February 19.
The loss of the previous 5.4-liter V8 in favor of Ford's 3.5-liter, direct-injected, twin-turbocharged V6 engine might rankle some of the Expedition's fans, but Ford claims that the change gives the SUV better fuel economy, more power and increased low-end torque than before. Unfortunately, official engine specifications won't be released until later this year, but Ford says engine output will be similar to the 365 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque that this powerplant produces in other applications. The EcoBoost is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and the SUV now uses electrically assisted power steering, for an even greater fuel economy advantage. Ford claims this also allows for better maneuverability at low speeds and better feel at high speeds.
Exterior styling is basically unchanged for 2015. The front end has the same three-bar chrome grille and headlight design, but the lower air dam gets added chrome and LED lamps. The rear gets more brightwork on the hatch, and there's a chrome-tipped exhaust pipe. As before, Ford is offering the Expedition in two wheelbase lengths - 119 inches and 131 inches. A new, optional, continuously controlled damping system alters suspension settings constantly based on 46 parameters and offers comfort, normal and sport modes (just like the Expedition's sister, the recently refreshed and decidedly less-attractive Lincoln Navigator).
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.
