1929 Ford Roadster Nostalgia Hot Rod on 2040-cars
Covington, Georgia, United States
A lot of newer
street rodders don't appreciate the vintage ‘29 Ford as much as their 32's but
this one is sure to give them a run for their money. It is done in such a way as
to combine the two looks into one cool machine. The major difference is you can
get this one for a fraction of the price! A lot of the street rods around
nowadays are new age fiberglass but this one is an ALL STEEL Henry Ford body.
That means it was created and rolled out of the factory 85 years ago! The fact
that it is still around and laser straight is absolutely amazing! The 1929 Ford
body is nicely mounted to the 32' Ford frame giving it some extra length for
the chrome spreader bar. The front end looks even more like a 32' with the
addition of the 32' steel grill shell. The chrome grill has a great shine along
with the Ford logo and trim. The body, frame, and grill shell are all coated in
bright yellow and is buffed out to a great shine. Pin striping by the legendary
Larry West who designed the Coors graphic on Bill Elliott’s NASCAR T-Bird. When
we say this is a nostalgic old-school hot rod we should probably explain what
we mean. It's not that this car was done in this style recently. No. This style
actually started the trend in the late 50s and early ‘60s! Being built in the
late 50's this is what people are after when they are currently building
"old school" rods. The car was later restored in 2000, refreshed in
2011 and refreshed again in 2013. Large chrome front headlights and circle
frenched purple-dot taillights. The trunk utilizes all chrome hardware
including the hinges and is louvered. In true nostalgia style the car rolls around
on American Racing Torque Thrust D wheels with white wall tires (all with fewer
than 300 miles). And 4-wheel disc brakes added last year. 1956 CHEVROLET

REAR END DISC BRAKES Engine was torn-down
and rebuilt by TDS in Covington (Travis Domini, who has built 4 motors for me,
both for street and strip. I swear by him.) replacing what needed to be
replaced. Runs GREAT! Less than 300 miles since rebuild. The interior of the
car is nicely finished out with two Black bucket seats that are very
comfortable. The dash is topped with Stewart Warner wing gauges mounted in a
nice brushed bezel. On the floorboard is mounted the Lokar shifter. An
aftermarket steering wheel is nicely mounted in place with a nice chrome horn
button. To the column a tachometer has been added and works just as it should.
All of the rubbers have been replaced on the car when it was entirely gone
through. So, what’s wrong
with it? A minor sign of wear on the left rear upholstery panel (see pic). The
speedometer is not accurate. There is a gizmo to correct that but I have never
bothered with it. Parking brake is not working. It is the drive shaft parking
brake variety. This is NOT a
show car. It is a fun, nostalgia hot rod meant to be driven and enjoyed. Cars of this age are not titled in Georgia where the car resides. It does have Texas title. I reserve the right
to end the listing prematurely since the car is for sale locally. Please do not
waste your time and mine with low-ball offers. PayPal $1,000 deposit within 2
days of a deal followed by a cashier’s check within 3 days for the remaining
amount. I will hold the car until the check has cleared. Delivery within 200
miles is negotiable. Bob 404-210-7753 |

New 2020 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator recalled for minor safety issues
Wed, Aug 7 2019Ford has announced a small recall on 2020 Explorers and 2020 Lincoln Aviators. Select units might be missing a manual park release cover, while others might have instrument clusters stuck in Factory Mode. The recall affects 14,135 SUVs in total. While a vehicle is in production in a manufacturing facility, Ford might put them in what is known as Factory Mode to help reduce battery drain. Affecting the instrument cluster, this mode disables warning alerts, warning chimes, and does not show the PRNDL gear selector display. Ford says one vehicle was in an accident at a production facility as a result of the issue, but nobody was injured. Separately, Ford found that some of these Explorers and Aviators might be lacking a manual park release cover. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards require a manual park release cover that is only removable with a tool. Without the cover, there is a very minor chance the manual park release could be accidentally actuated, which could allow the vehicle to move on its own. The recalls affect 13,896 vehicles in the U.S. and 239 in Canada. The Explorers were built between March 27, 2019, and July 24, 2019. The Aviators were built between April 10, 2019, and July 24, 2019. Owners can use Ford's recall number 19C06, and if affected, can take their vehicles in for fixes.

Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]
Wed, 05 Jun 2013For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.
