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 |

Ford pranks unsuspecting blind dates with Mustang GT and stunt driver
Thu, Feb 12 2015There's 'speed dating,' that ludicrous get-to-know-you ritual devised by The Inquisition of Mating, and then there's 'dating at ludicrous speed,' which is a better description of what Ford has done in this latest video for the 2015 Mustang GT for your Valentine's Day enjoyment. The Blue Oval used a professional stunt driver to hook six guys into going on a little car trip, but the setup is the key – she pretends she's not that good at driving, until she's really good at it. You can check it out above. Kudos to the guy who goes from "You might want to shift again" to "That's what I'm talking about!" without any question. And the ninja.
Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford
Thu, 16 Oct 2014The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
Ford offering factory-spec EcoBoost reflashes that don't void warranty*
Sat, Dec 27 2014Buy a supercharger or cold-air kit from Ford Racing and a Performance Calibration handset comes with it to reset the ECU for the upgrade. Now Ford Racing is offering the ProCal handset a la carte for $595, allowing you to reflash the ECU on your EcoBoost-equipped ride to extract more of its inherent capabilities without any additional upgrades. It gives you control of variables such as throttle response, idle speed and turbo wastegate control, among others. As for that warranty asterisk, the press release says enthusiasts can up the power "while maintaining the Ford-backed limited warranty." However Ford Motor Co. and Ford Racing are separate entities, and, best we can tell, when you reflash the ECU, your Ford warranty gets supplanted by the Ford Racing warranty. Say you bought a 2014 Ford, that means your five-year, 60,000-mile warranty becomes Ford Racing's three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, if we're reading the fine print correctly. If you have an older car and have driven more than 36,000 miles, then your warranty options are kaput, at least as far as a Ford in-house option. If have warranty concerns, you might also want to consider having a dealer perform the reflash, or at least ask about it. Once you've got past the small print, what about the numbers? At the moment Ford Racing offers tunes for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost in the Focus ST and the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the Fiesta ST, and we're told there's a 90-pound-foot boost in torque at the crank after you've pressed the right buttons. Anecdotal evidence from a commenter at Road & Track says he went from 252 horsepower at the flywheel to 254 hp at the wheels, and 272 lb-ft at the flywheel to 354 lb-ft at the wheels, but we can't be sure that his adjustments were within Ford Racing specs. Your mileage, naturally, may vary. What about custom numbers for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the 2015 Ford Mustang? They aren't ready yet, but we're told we'll get something by the end of next year.
