Great chance to get a traditional hotrod project. This is a 1929 Ford Model A Sport Coupe with clean NC title. It is currently non-running and only needs timed, fuel, and battery charged to run again. This was originally a California car, and has only suffered minor rust issues in the lower cowl panels, lower front quarter panels, and very minor on the quarter panel area next to where the rumble seat lid goes. I have started to strip the car of the bad panels: rumble seat lid (still have for patch pieces), rear buggy spring cover, and panel blow rumble seat (new panel included). All glass is intact and trim pieces still there. Water pump was rebuilt in 2011 as I used to drive this around the neighborhood....and does not leak.

The frame is from Riley Automotive in Colorado (they specialize in hot rods). It's their Double Z frame which includes: model A cross-member, adjustable transmission mount with ladderbar mounts, Ford F1 style shock and headlight mounts, vega steering box mount, pan hard mount, and has a front kick up of 4inches in the front and 8inches of kick up in the rear to give you a nice traditional stance.

The front end kit is also from Riley and is sold as the Dry Lake kit. This is a complete front end, all hardware, and all quality pieces. It has the '39 style Lincoln drum brakes (bendix), chassis engineering 4inch drop axle ('32 heavy duty style) with lightening holes. The rest of the parts are Pete & Jakes: front spring, shackles, kingpins, tie rod, panhard bar, steering arms, spindles, hubs (5x5.5), lower shock mounts, and tie rod ends. Also included is a set of split '36 or '37 wishbones that correspond to axle.

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR

Fri, Jun 5 2015

As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.
