1931 Ford Coupe.rat Rod.hot Rod.sbc.clear Title. on 2040-cars
Williams, Minnesota, United States
|
1931 Ford coupe. Body was pretty rough and has been stitched back together and is now solid. The doors open and close nicely(bear claw latches). Windows are plexi glass. The windshield frame was fabricated out of alum channel and is in place until I could find/fabricate something a little better. Floor, braces and top are all metal. 32 Ford grille shell is fiberglass. Early SBC with vintage Offenhauser 2 x 4 intake with early AFB carbs(I'm told Vette). The valve covers are real Corvette(1963). Engine has approx. 54000 on rebuild - I might still have the paperwork to verify this. 1 wire alt. Headers have muffler ends. Auto trans. 68 Plymouth 8 3/4 rear. SW gauges - speedo, oil press. & water temp. Lokar shifter. Velour bench seat. New Chrome rims/tires. Super Bell dropped axle. Disc brakes front. Reversed Corvair box. Many new parts. Could probably use about an inch longer driveshaft. Gas pedal needs adjusting to obtain full throttle. This is a nice running, fun car that needs very little to be blasting the street or maybe dragstrip. Keep in mind it is not perfect and will need tweaking here and there. I haven't had the time to work the bugs out, I've only got about 15 miles on it since finishing the build some months ago. I'm on other priorities and don't have the time to devout to this an the other items I'll be listing on Ebay, therefore the reserve is low considering the work and time that had been done so far and to other comparable cars. The title is 31 Ford and is clear in my name. Has collector plates. This is being sold as is. This is being offered at different venues and auction will be ended if sold elsewhere, unless reserve is met. Please have transportation set up as I need this out of here within 2 weeks of auction end, I need the shop space. Ask questions early in the auction - I'm on the computer randomly. Please read payment instructions and follow them after auction. Bidders with less than 10 feedback, please contact me before bidding or bid will be cancelled. On Sep-06-14 at 13:39:06 PDT, seller added the following information: Top is chopped approx. 2 1/2". Body has been channeled over frame approx. 4". Entire front end(axle, shocks, brakes, spring, perches, radius rods, tie rod, drag link and hardware) is new, just not painted.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.
Ford Focus ST checks into Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, 23 Sep 2013In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.
Riding on stylish 18-inch wheels with summer tires and with a spoiler that doubles as a lunch tray, Hameedi and Leno walk us through the finer points of what makes the ST special, which also includes bigger brakes, torque vectoring, a manual transmission and, of course, 252 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which is made possible by 21 psi of turbocharged boost.
Watch the video below to see what Leno thinks of the global Focus ST.
