1927 Ford T Roadster Highboy on 2040-cars
Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States
|
Thanks for checking out my 1927 Ford Roadster Highboy. This has been a fun project and is getting close to finish but I am ready to move on to the next one if someone is ready to continue this one. Drivetrain: 1948 Ford Flat Head V8 -Bored .030 over -2 Carb intake -Aluminum Offenhauser Heads -Headers -3 Speed Transmission on the tree -New Starter -New 3 Core Radiator The Goods: -Steward Warner Speed-O, Tach, Temp, Oil and Volt gauges -Juice Brakes all around -10 Gal Aluminum gas tank installed in Trunk -Boxed Frame -Deck Lid Replaced -Back Panel Replaced -New Seat Springs, frame and Upholstery top and bottom -New Short Aluminum Windshield posts (No Glass) -Brand new Bias Ply White Walls The Bad... The Engine starts and runs great but there is water entering the exhaust port coming out of the right side header. It appears to be a hole in the water jacket in the block allowing the water to exit to the exhaust. The fix is to either find and repair the hole or just replace the Block which is my next move on this project if it does not go to the next garage (Yours). The body is not perfect by any means but it is a great start to a fun car. I am just testing the market right now unless it gets to a magic number ($ we all know everything has one $). Take a look at the pictures and feel free to give me a call with any questions you have. Happy Bidding! Please note this is a 1927 Body Titled as a 1924.

2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of
Tue, 17 Dec 2013One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning
Thu, 14 Mar 2013Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.
