Up for auction is my 1927 Ford Model T Rat Rod. In all honesty i really hate to sell this car but i am just plain out of room and have another one of my cars coming home from paint soon so i am going to put a couple things up for sale this being one of them. This is not your typical pyle of junk thrown together rat rod, this is a very well thought out and quality built car that is actually registered and titled as what it is a 1927 Ford Model T. To Start of with the Chassis and roll cage were custom built by a well know fabrication shop in southern california that specializes in building baja race cars,trophy trucks, pre runners as well as full chassis drag cars The frame is made of 2' by 3" box tubing and the cage is 1 1/2" dom tubing.The body does have rust and dents but it is supposed to it's a rat rod,it could still stand to have some finish welding done on the chop or can be driven as is. The body is 100% original steel no fiberglass crap here! As far as running gear goes the engine is a 1969 429 Ford Cobra that is mild motor with hydraulic cam 10:1 compression a vintage offenhauser tunnel ram with new dual holley 500 cfm mechanical secondary carbs and a vintage Joe Hunt Magneto with mechanical tach, We recently sent the magneto out to Joe Hunt and had the internal all refurbished,custom built headers that have had rinehart motorcyle baffells installed.The Transmission is a C6 that has also been recently rebuilt and has kevlar clutch packs,the transmisson cooler lines were hand built out of cooper tubbing and are one solid line no unions in them to leak. the rear end is a 9" with 3.55 gears and a spool.It has alluminum 10 gallon fuel tank in the trunk as well as electric fuel pump with a aeromotive fuel pressure regulator with fuel pressure guage. The battery is also located in the trunk as well. The rear wheels are real vinatage american racing wheels with hurst DOT approved drag tires.Up front is a set of Radir spindle mount wheels wraped with motorcycle tires, The front wheels also have previsions for disk brakes if you wanted to install them down the road. As it sits the car only has rear brakes but they provide plenty of stopping power for the car. Front suspension has 4" drilled dropped axle, the rear suspenion is 4 linked with coil over shocks.New aluminum radiator with electric fan. You can drive this car anywhere it always runs cool.It has a very nice reproduction '32 Ford grill in it.The headlights are 1940 chevy with original lenses and updated halogen bulbs in them. The interior was done by a local shop here in town using a real cow hide for the seat. The throttle pedal is an old offenhauser pedal,quick release steering wheel.This is without a doubt the funnest car i have ever owned.It's funny but this car actually gets more attention then my friends lamborghini.Please realize that this in no luxury car by any means, it does not have a heater or a/c, or heated seats! It also does not have seat belts or turn signals but i have driven the car over to the coast and back about 160 miles each way. Serious bidders only please! if you do not have the means to pay do not bid.

Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.
George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.
