Up for auction is a fresh nostalgic built, 1927 Ford Roadster Pickup. This Little Roadster is ready for the Books. Just finished in Ford's Washington Blue, with a little of the old, and a little of the new. A Ford Model T frame is the base of this Roadster, with 1941 Ford running gear front, and rear. Model A steering column, and box steer the car down the road. The front end has been extended in front of the spring to give it a longer, and more hot rod look. Old style friction shocks were also used for that traditional look. Modern coil over shocks support the car, from the Banjo rear end, with shortened torque tube, and struts. All new juice brakes, with 40 Ford pedal assembly has been adapted to the frame, so stock style clutch could also be used. The fresh Rohde built, 1951 Flathead, with stainless valves, adjustable lifters, 60 over bore, Winfield Cam, Eddie Meyers dull Intake, 48 Carbs, Edelbrock aluminum heads, Mallory dual point Distributor, with stainless block huger headers, and custom bell exhaust, makes a good running package. The engine starts easy, and runs strong. No heating problems with this Flathead. It's running a aluminum radiator with stock fan assembly painted to match. The traditional 39 gear box shifts good, and the new clutch is smooth. The original steel Roadster body has been moved back 5" on the frame, and a custom box has been added, giving the car a smoother look. Shorty windshield posts, with custom windshield add to the cool of this car. The inner body tub has been skinned with metal, powder coated to match, and polished Bomber seats top off the interior. (Custom) A set of original Ford 16" wire wheels, Powder Coated in the same Washington Blue, look great. A cool third light center front is a park light. Original model T's lights are up front , and 32 Ford tail lights are on the rear. The cars underside is as clean as the top side, (Nice). (Please look at pictures closely, and zoom in) This car is titled as a 1927 Ford Roadster. Buyer is responsible for shipping and all shipping costs. I will help with loading on my end, and in anyway I can. For questions please call the builder. Bill (208)750-0000

Ford Tourneo ready for duty in Connect, Courier and Custom flavors [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Ford was relatively quiet at the Geneva Motor Show, but it did take the opportunity to roll out its new family of Tourneo vans: the Courier, Connect, Grand Connect and Custom. As the passenger version of the Transit cargo vans, the new range of Tourneo models vary from the B-segment Courier up to the fullsize Custom. The Connect and Grand Connect are based on the redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect.
With an overall length just three inches longer than the Fiesta hatchback, the Tourneo Courier seats four to five passengers, and it offers a choice of three engines: the 1.0-liter EcoBoost or two small diesels. Like the 2014 Transit Connect was saw in Paris last year, the Tourneo Connect comes in a five-seat configuration while the Grand Connect can seat seven. Finally, the Tourneo Custom seats up to nine passengers, and it is available in two lengths up to 210 inches long putting it just six inches shorter than a standard-length E-Series van and about a foot longer than the Explorer.

Ford recalling nearly 24,000 Focus EV and C-Max models over door chime

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

Ford will be voluntarily recalling 23,830 Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid and Energi models equipped with push-button ignition, according to The Detroit News. Why? Because the cars don't make a noise when the driver's door is open, and are therefore in violation of federal regulations. It's not as silly as Honda's badging recall that isn't a recall, but it's close.
Actually, that's not exactly fair. The chime is supposed to come on when the driver's door is open, as it reminds drivers not to leave their cars on or leave key fobs in the car, an easy thing to forget when the cars in question make virtually no noise at idle and do not require keys in ignitions.
The recall, which Ford is conducting voluntarily, covers 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric hatchbacks and 2013 C-Max Hybrid and Energi models. The overwhelming majority, around 22,900 units, were sold in the US, while the remaining 900 units are in Canada. How many of each model are covered in the recall is not immediately clear.

Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]

Sat, 09 Mar 2013

Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...
