1925 Ford Model-t, Hot Rod, Rat Rod, Roadster, Traditional Hot Rod, T-bucket on 2040-cars
Orlando, Florida, United States
|
Up for auction is a neat little Model-T Roadster. This car was built in the early 80's by a talented builder who wanted his own a version of a car he had seen in an early 50's hot rod magazine (included in sell). In 1951 Johnny Cunningham built a very cool full fendered T that had a chopped windshield and cut down 1936 Ford Truck grille. It retained the original turtle deck and used 1934 Ford wire wheels with big and little tires. This car is an updated version of the Cunningham T. Since the car was built in the 1080's, there have not been many changes, owning to the quality and style of the original build. This is a finished car that needs nothing to enjoy right now. Just bump the key and go. Body: It is a high quality early fiberglass T roadster body built by So-Cal. It has a functioning passenger door to ease getting in and out. The turtle deck and fenders are also fiberglass. They are very thick, high quality components. The fenders have steel tubing under them for support. The running boards are steel and are functional. They are supported by steel connection to the frame. The hood and side curtins are steel and handmade, while the grille is an original 1936 Ford truck grille that was chopped 1/4. The paint on the coar is from it's original build in the 80's and is showing some age. there are a few chips and blemishes, but it adds to the charm and character of the car. There are lots of neat little details to this car, such as the original Guide headlights to the tail light brackets that are made from Model-A lug wrenches. There is some clean modest pin-striping on the rear tail pan. The letter B on the number represents the class the early 50's hot rodders would use at the Bonnivelle salt flats for a normaly asperated 6 cylinder. Chassis: This car is built on a handmade rectangular tube chassis. It uses transverse springs front and rear. The front axle is an un-dropped Model A unit using Model A brakes with a very thick hydraulic wheel cylinder conversion. The rear axle is a Ford 8" that is held in place by front 30's style wishbones that have been reinforced and inverted. Keeping with the traditional theme of the build the front of the car used Houdaille lever action shocks and an F-100 steering box. For rolling stock, it uses 1935 Ford 16" wire wheels with Coker Firestone tires. 7.00x16 rear and 4.50x16 fronts giving it a nice rubber rake. Its sits low and cool. Drive Train: Since it was a must to have a hood on this car, a compact 2.6Lt. V6 was chosen for motivation. It is backed by a 4 speed manual transmission with Hurst linkage. This drive train is super reliable, exhaust has two glass packs, giving the car a great sound that turns heads. It has a 10 gallon fuel tank and gets excellent fuel economy. The four speed transmission makes the car a blast to drive. Its will run highway speeds, but don't expect it to set any records in the 1/4 mile. This is a get out and cruise the Parks, Beaches,strips kind of car, Its just flat out Cool... Interior: The interior has a two-tone vinyl done in tuck and roll. It was done several years ago, and shows some age, but is still very presentable and comfortable, No tears. It seats 2 adults comfortably. the functioning door makes it easy to get in and out of. the dash is wood adn uses all Stewart Warner instruments including a working tach and speedometer. This T is a bare bones hot rod and does not have A/C, Heat, or a radio. I am 6'2" 220# with a 35" inseam (long legs) and fit just fine behind the wheel. This car has been on the road for several years and has had all the bugs worked out of it. It is a no excuses traditional hot rod that gathers a crowd every place it goes. The car needs nothing to enjoy right now, you can jump in and drive this car anywhere. It runs great and gets great fuel mileage. It is priced to sell fast. It would be a great car for anyone looking to get into the car hobby or someone who wants something really unique for their collection. Car has a clear Florida title and titled as a 1985.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters
Sun, 28 Sep 2014The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.
Ford, Renault, VW shareholder oppose French aid for PSA/Peugeot-Citro"en
Mon, 29 Oct 2012Pots and kettles, glass houses and stones - that's a little of what we appear to have going on in the European car market. New reports say that that three European automakers have registered their opposition to a loan deal that PSA/Peugeot-Citroën is working on with the French government. Peugeot's finance arm, Banque PSA Finance, is struggling with its debts and has been downgraded by Moody's to its lowest investment-grade classification, one step above junk. This makes it more expensive for a potential buyer to finance a car through Peugeot. The last thing Peugeot needs is more difficulty selling cars in the tough European market, and the situation will only worsen if the bank's credit worthiness takes another hit.
A deal being worked on would have the French government offer €7 billion ($9B U.S.) in bonds to guarantee the bank's loans, which would give the institution some breathing room to manage its debts and lower its interest rates. Outside of that, a group of banks would provide other, non-guaranteed loans to the bank to further help its position. In exchange for state help, though, the government wants seats on Peugeot's board for worker representatives and a government liaison, along with factory and worker guarantees. The Peugeot family would maintain control of the company.
So what we have is government assistance being provided to a car company's finance arm, akin to the way General Motors' GMAC (now Ally Financial) and Chrysler Financial got help in their time of need. What we also have is Ford and Renault, and Germany's State of Lower Saxony, the second-largest shareholder in Volkswagen, voicing their concern about the proposal, because they say it could create an unfair competitive advantage for Peugeot. Everyone in Europe's down market is fighting for every sale, and if Peugeot gets help to keep its auto loan costs down, it figures to help buyers choose Peugeot or Citroën.
Major Alexa deal will bring Amazon services into more cars
Wed, Jan 9 2019Amazon and its personal assistance service Alexa are partnering with HERE Technologies to create a new connected mobility service powerhouse. Alexa will integrate with HERE's navigation and location services to offer what the two companies are calling a "true voice-first-navigation experience." Alexa will come pre-integrated with HERE navigation on-demand, which the automakers can then enable, which should help cut down on development time. One of the biggest features from this partnership is how directions could be offered and delivered using HERE's Open Location Platform (OLP). Currently, the OLP uses data from several car manufacturers to provide insights into real-time location and traffic. But on Alexa, this could be used to provide directional context. For example, Alexa could say, "Turn right after [such-and-such a building]" rather than just, "Turn right." Amazon has been testing the automotive waters throughout the past decade. Its home-based Alexa-enabled devices are already offered with connections to several manufacturers. To various degrees of integration, it can already pair with Ford, Genesis, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai and BMW vehicles. At the end of 2018, Amazon took things a step further when it introduced the Echo Auto, a Bluetooth-connected Alexa assistant device that can be physically kept in a car. Currently only available by invitation (its production and distribution have been delayed), the $25 device is essentially a voice service that works together with smartphones and connects to a car's speakers. Users can command it to do a variety of things, including playing music, setting navigation, opening the garage door, finding local stores, making calls, setting reminders, and thousands of other "skills." According to The Verge, nearly 1 million people have already ordered the device. Some (well, probably few) may know HERE Technologies from its maps on Windows Phones. We all know how that turned out, though. Today, HERE has expanded into a multi-function suite that is available in multiple mediums, including many automotive applications. HERE Automotive's connected vehicle services include real-time traffic, parking, weather, fuel prices, hazard warnings, traffic sign integration, and even EV charging stations. These all incorporate and extend the use of HERE's location and tracking programming. HERE is already partnered with BMW, Audi, Daimler, Intel, Mobileye, NVIDIA, and has investments from Bosch, Continental and Pioneer.
