1929 Ford Roadster

BODY

This is an extremely well thought-out, well constructed build.  The Z24 350 Chevy V-8 with  Jet coated Headers sends the power to the Ford 8" Currie rear via a 700-R4 automatic transmission.

The 4 bar polished stainless front suspension is by Pete & Jake.  The brakes are disc at all four corners,  Radial tires are mounted on 15" front and  rear polished American rims.  The steering is Vega type with a Corvette steering column.

Sitting on a 1929-32 Ford reproduction boxed chassis by Total Performance is a Wescott 1929 Ford Roadster body, finished in multiple coats of smooth deep Red basecoat/clearcoat paint.  The fit and finish is up to above driver quality  standards.  The fabric top can be used up , folded down or easily removed with 4 bolts.


INTERIOR

Soft Tuck and Roll red and white leather, fitted carpet w / matching floor mats says to you to get in and enjoy the ride.  The classic gauges all add to the overall ambiance. Notice the shifter, brake and gas pedal quality and location.

The trunk opens up to reveal a fully finished look with a rumble seat that compliments the interior. This can be changed to a regular trunk.

I have the painted frenched louvered hood sides but like with just the top on!

The optima battery is hidden in a tray underneath the seat along with the fuse connections.


DRIVING IMPRESSIONS

Simply put, this roadster drives as good as it looks - not a small accomplishment in a Hot Rod.  It is smooth, not choppy.  It travels straight down the road, the transmission shifts perfectly.

It has a very solid feel, no doubt a result of a first class build .

The fitted  carpet and matching floor mats are installed over layers of heat and sound deadening material so that there is no excess heat in the cockpit and no excess sound.  The only sounds you hear are the throatiness of the exhaust system  and the growl of those  rear tires.

   There are no drivability issues!


THE LOOK

It's not easy for a Hot Rod builder to attain "the look" but this Roadster has it in spades. You gotta love this Hot Rod, it looks and sounds fast and mean standing still!

And, oh yeah, everyone loves this car - lots of thumbs up and waves - smiles all around.  But this car is not for the bashful type, not for someone who wants to fly under the radar.  You will get noticed.


OVERALL

This custom built roadster, is only 5300 miles from new, and was built to drive, It is in very  nice shape. It started life in 2011 . I am stating that it is a # 3 quality but it is much better.

Simply put if you see this Roadster in person, you'll buy it.  Check the component prices of this high caliber build and you'll realize the value - This car is proof that it makes economic sense to buy them finished.

How privacy fears are driving automakers in the age of the connected car [w/poll]

Wed, Aug 27 2014

A recent GAO report concluded car companies don't adequately disclose how and why they share location data. As cars collect and store more and more data about the whereabouts of their drivers, automakers are responding to critics who say they should be more transparent about how those details are used. Ford is hiring a global privacy policy attorney to craft the company's customer privacy policies in the era of connected and autonomous cars. "In this emerging space, there is an important need to address customer privacy policies," reads a job description posted on the "people and careers" portion of the company's website. "As part of our compliance and ethics organization at Ford, this person will have an immediate and direct impact in shaping existing and future policy and corporate thinking in this area." Ford is creating the new position, based at its Dearborn headquarters, at a time technology advances are outpacing privacy protections. Earlier this year, a report from the federal government concluded car companies don't adequately disclose to motorists how and why they share location data. That report, from the Government Accountability Office, found many car companies did not describe how they shared location data, did not allow consumers to request their data be deleted and that there was a "wide variation" in how car companies retained vehicle-specific or identifiable location data. It noted there is increased risk of location data being used in ways "consumers did not intend." Ford was one of 10 companies the GAO surveyed while compiling its report. Customers are opting to share that data largely by using features like maps and turn-by-turn direction that are run by a vehicle's telematics unit. Depending on the company, it can be unclear how that data is collected, retained or shared. At the time the GAO report was issued, AAA, the nation's largest motoring club, urged carmakers to be more transparent in how they handle data and to offer stronger security protections. Shaping Autonomous Car Regulations At Ford, the new hire could change how the company handles that data. According to the job description, the successful applicant will, "demonstrate visionary thinking around privacy strategy – imagine how consumer and employee expectations around privacy may evolve and how business should adapt, develop approaches that maximize the benefit of data sharing for consumers and business, etc." (Emphasis from Ford).

Global buyers prefer red, black Ford Mustangs

Fri, Mar 13 2015

As sales of the new, 2015 Ford Mustang kick off across the globe, Ford is uncovering some interesting data about its long-lived muscle car, and some of the most interesting stats focus on the color palette. Not surprisingly, buyers have a thing for a red Mustang. Race Red, a bright, glossy color, is the number one shade among Mustang owners in both Europe and China with 20 percent of Europeans and 35 percent of Chinese owners opting for the shade. Ford's Ruby Red paint was the third most popular color among American consumers. That's because Mustang owners in the land of the free and home of the brave prefer a literal dark horse, opting for the glossy Black. Magnetic, a dark gray shade, was the second favorite among American Mustang owners. That's right, America's favorite color overall, white, didn't even crack the top three (although Oxford White hit number two in China). Black remained popular in other markets, as well. Absolute Black, a metallic shade, tied Race Red in Europe, appearing on 20 percent of vehicles. Just under 20 percent of Chinese buyers, meanwhile, opted for the same gloss black Americans preferred. Check out Ford's full press release for more detailed stats on how customers in three of the company's largest markets are designing their Mustangs. Related Video: MAR 12, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH.

Quitting Mexico factory helps bring down Ford earnings $200 million in 2016

Thu, Jan 26 2017

Ford released its 2016 earnings report this morning, and despite a fourth quarter net loss it proved to be the automaker's second most successful year ever, following record breaking numbers in 2015. Losses for the year come from a number of sources, including accounting changes and a $200 million hit for backing out of the small-car factory in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Despite the loss, come March 9 about 56,000 UAW-represented employees will receive a $9,000 profit-sharing check. That, like most of Ford's other 2016 metrics, is slightly down from the year before, but it's still the second best profit-sharing payment ever. Total net income was $4.6 billion, down $2.8 billion from 2015. Total revenue for 2016 was $151.8 billion, up $2.2 billion. Ford's earnings report lists a global market share of 7.6 percent, down a tenth from 2015. Ford's European and Asia-Pacific markets posted their best and second best pre-tax profits respectively. The South American, Middle East, and African markets all took hits because of unstable economies and other external factors. Ford expects to have another down year in 2017 as it invests in new and emerging markets and focuses more on its mobility projects.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
