NO RESERVE NO RESERVE NO RESERVE NO RESERVE!!! HIGHEST BIDDER = NEW OWNER!! AUCTION ENDS TUESDAY NIGHT, NOVEMBER 19, 9:15 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. Contact Clint at 610-763-8277 for more info! For your consideration is a beautiful
1930 Ford Model A Street Rod. By first glance, it has a Rat Rod look. But at
closer examination, this classic has a ton of money put into it, with the best
of the best parts and accessories used in the build. If you want to ‘blend in’
in a crowd, this may not be the car for you! At any angle, the Model A just
looks ‘right’. Quintessential in every aspect! A Throwback to a much simpler
time, that all of us would like to go back to! The build began August, 2006. It
took about 3 years to complete. There is about 450 miles on the build of this
car since its completion. It is a Bruiser Body, from Lake Havasu City, AZ. The
unfinished “rolling Chassis” and body shipped to the door was $16,800 in 2006!
Keep that in mind-unfinished! Without Engine, Trans, Interior, gauges, etc!
What increases the cool factor of this Ford is the 401 V8 Buick Nailhead
engine, with the 3 x 2 Carburetors, connected to a brand new Tremec 5 speed
Manual Transmission. I am unsure to the horsepower rating, but it is quick!
Smoke the tires fast, and won’t hurt you at the pump… A great combination!
Below I have highlighted the Specs & NEW
parts used in the build: Bruiser Enterprises Reproduction 1929

I have a folder packed full of receipts to document the enormous investment put
forth to create this machine. Make no mistake, this car is the real deal that
will satisfy the fussiest buyer. It runs great! Straight down the road with no
shimmy or vibrations. With the small steering wheel, and rack and pinion
steering, makes this rod much easier to drive then you would think. And the distinct
sound of the Nailhead is just awesome. This is a tremendous opportunity to

attempted to rectify the situation, but the buyer would not respond or contact
me at all, and left me negative feedback! Located

Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.
2015 Ford F-150 to get 2.7-liter EcoBoost?
Mon, 30 Dec 2013As we prepare for the arrival of the all-new, next-generation Ford F-150, rumors about the new truck are picking up steam. Naturally, many of said rumors aren't just related to the way the truck will look (it's expected to take design cues from the Atlas concept shown above), they're tied to what's going to motivate the Blue Oval mainstay, with Ford's EcoBoost range likely to play an increasingly key role. While we're still expecting the current 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 to retain its position as a premium alternative to Ford's naturally aspirated V6 and V8, a Canadian automotive news site is proposing that the Dearborn automaker is also preparing a new, more fuel-efficient downsized EcoBoost option.
Autos.ca is reporting that a new, 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 could find its way into the lighter, aluminum-intensive truck. The new engine supposedly makes use of asymmetrical turbos to generate 320 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque - substantially more impressive numbers than the current 3.7-liter base engine's 302 ponies and 278 lb-ft - while offering improved fuel economy and emissions. The new 2.7 EcoBoost (internally dubbed "Nano") isn't expected to supplant the naturally aspirated V6 as the F-150's base engine, it's expected to slot in above directly it.
Naturally, we're prescribing more than a few grains of salt to go with these rumors, at least until Ford debuts the next F-150 at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, a reveal we'll be covering in a mere two weeks.
