Great pre war style hot rod, lots of terds out there, look around, does the world need another banana yellow roadster with tweed interior running a SBC built in 1995?? But nows the chance to get your hands on a decent pre war style roadster!

Original 29 ford roadster on new 32 chassis flathead ford with 39 box. Hate to sell her but I need to finish another car. Runs and drives well, has 8BA with 39 box and 32 rear.

Chassis- New 32 rails with original 32 K member bolted in with 32 front and rear crossmember. Runs, a stock heavy 32 axles unsplit bones stock 32 4cyl rear end with round flange. It needs to be replaces with a V8 rear end as the rear will make a noise as you lift the gas, I've been driving the car like this for 2 years. Has F1box installed, juice brakes, 35 wire wheels, needs rear tires but the ribbed fronts are new.

Motor, 8BA that was "rebuilt" when I bought it. I got it home and took it all apart, hot tanked it and sent it to a builder to be assembled again. Early NOS ansen cam installed with adjustable lifters, new valve guides, gaskets exc. The block has hardened seats and a fresh valve job. I ran a early cover and 40 bell distributor to get the early look. The distributor was rebuilt and curved by a local legend and the car runs at 180* Heads are Harrell and so it the 3 deuce intake, runs off 1 97 the other 2 are blocked at the base, I did shave the stock pump to use with the intake. Heads are no longer made as I'm the one who sell them! Headers are 35 driveshaft style built by me (gear drive speed & custom) and are a 1 off set. Has a stupid electric fan... I hate it.... Generator rebuilt last summer.

Tranny- 39 box with late gears , new clutch, pressure plate and flywheel resurfaces, tranny rebuilt by cheater carl in Milwaukee last summer,new rubber K member mount installed.

Body- Body is very solid, runs the stock gas tank and only need to be patched in the rear wheel houses, someone did it and did a half ass job. Has original 1950's aftermarket folding posts and they are stock height, steering wheel is 36 ford and gauges are oil and temp! interior is minimul, I'm 6' and fit the car great. Body work is 90% finished, its in black sealer. New wiring and where the wires are exposed we used cloth wire. wiring is under the front seat as it uses a stock seat pan.

I can store the car for a short time 30-60 days (?) , payment due in 7 days, no trades!!!

I have a small lean on the title that will be taken care of. I do have a MN title with matching vin numbers on and its in my name.

I've told the truth about the car, I would not want to buy a car from a jack ass so I wont be one! 651-485-8075 (matt) She needs some tinkering, shes a old war horse, if your looking for a streetrod this is not for you.

2015 Ford Focus gets more Aston-y [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

With more and more members of the Ford brand adopting a new familial face, the Focus has been left looking like an odd man out. At the Geneva Auto Show, though, it properly rejoined the family, adopting the now familiar Aston Martin-ish grille that's proliferated throughout the range.
Overall, we're liking the refreshed Focus' look. Aside from the new grille, the headlights have been restyled and now look like elongated versions of the lamps on the Focus ST. Functionally, those headlamps are bi-xenon units, complete with an adaptive front lighting system. Out back, the rear retains the same overall look, which has been smoothed out for 2015.
In the cabin, the second-generation of Ford's much-maligned Sync system makes its debut. Sync 2, as it's called, is supposedly more intuitive than the first-gen system. Ford is promising "one-shot" navigation functions for the system. Saying "I'm hungry," should bring up a list of nearby restaurants. Of course, we'll be reserving final judgment until we can test the new system in person.

Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]

Sun, 16 Jun 2013

In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.

TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles

Wed, Jan 15 2014

We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.
