1937 FORD COUPE VIN: SD9283F THERE OVER 200 HUGE IMAGES OF THIS STUNNING CAR SHOWN BELOW! DESCRIPTION: This auction is for an amazing 1937 FORD Coupe that defies written descriptions, but with the help of hundreds of photos, we'll give it a try. This gorgeous car was professionally built, it is ALL steel, and it is a masterpiece of quality. It was constructed with the most intricate and detailed workmanship imaginable. Major modifications began with the fitting of Tudor sedan doors (that are 6" longer than stock) on hidden hinges and the tipping of the "B" posts forward to enhance the look. The rear quarters were lowered, custom running boards were fabricated and raked forward to match the modified lower edges on the front fenders. The roof has been welded and leaded in place and enhanced with a custom shaped rain gutter. In addition, a special rear roll pan was designed and constructed. The remaining stock body sheet metal was all carefully straightened by old school spot heating and quenching resulting in arrow straight panels and almost no filler. The exterior of the car speaks for itself, and the powerful blown big block engine was designed for high performance while drinking only pump grade fuels. The transmission is a modified 400 Turbo and it ends up at a full Mark Williams 9" Ford rear end. It is cooled by an oversize Griffin radiator and 16" SPAL fan and that is augmented by another water cooler and fan under the car (see images)! The brilliant stainless steel 3" exhaust system has .060" walls and the left and right side are mirrored imaged from the headers to the custom polished stainless wrapped Flow Master mufflers exiting centered out the back of the car. Another really trick feature is the linear actuated exhaust cutouts located at the end of the collectors along with front and rear license plates that instantly disappear under the car at the touch of a button. The extra tidy trunk space is taken up by a pair of boxed batteries and a custom 21 gallon fuel tank all of which was neatly upholstered. The graphics and paint scheme came from Thom Taylor who supplied concept drawings prior to the build. The underside and exterior of the coupe are finished with House of Kolors base and clear coats, Silver White Pearl, Kosmic Kandy Purple and Hot Pink Pearl. The graphics inspired cloth interior is beautifully detailed and fitted with high quality wool carpets. The 12 point full roll cage and Pyrotech 5-point harnesses work to keep occupants safe and secure in the event of a mishap. To help illustrate the level of detail in this project, the harnesses were taken apart to facilitate the chroming of the hardware and then sent back to Pyrotech to be stitched back together! Doors open remotely from a chromed mechanical arm hidden under the floorboards and a rear view mirror articulates out of the open drivers window from inside, if needed. The car is a real pleasure to drive because it behaves well and is easy to operate. The engine temperature is in the normal range under all conditions. There is a remotely controlled Sony 10 disc CD player with 4 speakers, Cerullo GT seats, Auto Meter pro comp gauges in a removable dash section and power windows. There is a breakdown list below of most of what went into building this treasure, and at the end of our dozens of current images, there is also a lengthy archival photo review to help illustrate the extent of the work in this coupe. The ONLY nit that we were able to pick on the entire car is some barely noticeable bubbling of the paint between the rear pan and the body below the trunk, that's it. This car is used on rare occasion, always garaged and exceptionally well cared for. For every trick thing that you can see on this car, there are 10 more bonus ideas and items that you really need to search for. You can stare at and study the workmanship for hours and still be amazed. The full photo and parts inventory history comes with the car as will CAD drawings of many of the custom parts, detailed wiring diagrams and many other extras. There are two different sets of engine side panels (shown hanging on the wall). BODY Modifications: 1937 FORD Coupe, All Steel.

Uber releases fleet of self-driving vehicles to select few in Pittsburgh
Wed, Sep 14 2016Starting today, a select group of Uber users in Pittsburgh, PA will have the ability to request a self-driving vehicle. If a self-driving vehicle is in the area, Uber will send it, as well as a safety driver, to drive loyal customers to their destination. The announcement to give customers the opportunity to get a ride in one of Uber's self-driving vehicles comes roughly a year and a half after the company set up its Advanced Technologies Center in the city. On Tuesday, the company offered a few members of the press the opportunity to ride in one of the company's self-driving cars. The fleet, despite Uber's collaboration with Volvo, was comprised of 14 Ford Fusions equipped with a host of self-driving technology, reports TechCrunch. Uber is giving away free rides as a way to obtain real-world testing, which is crucial for self-driving technology. Recently, nuTonomoy beat Uber to the punch by launching the world's first autonomous taxis in Singapore. While the choice to release its self-driving cars in Pittsburgh mainly comes down to the fact that its ATC is located there, the city faces four seasons and its difficult streets that are comprised of bridges, railroad lines, and an irregular grid layout will prove to be a challenge for the autonomous cars. Since the self-driving vehicles are still being tested, the cars will come with two full-time Uber employees. One employee will loosely grasp the car's steering wheel, ready to take over if something goes awry, while the other will monitor the computer's software. As TechCrunch points out, Uber's autonomous vehicles drove in a similar manner to a regular driver. It obeyed traffic laws, mimicked a driver by coming to stops gently and at other times abruptly, as well as driving slightly into another lane to dodge a poorly-parked vehicle, reports TechCrunch. There's no word on whether regular Uber customers will get a ride in one of the company's Fusions or one of the Volvo's that its working on. Automakers and companies alike have been in a race to put autonomous vehicles on the road. Tesla recently updated its Autopilot system, Apple laid off dozens of employees to reboot its self-driving car project, and Google is working giving its autonomous vehicle the ability to detect emergency vehicles. While this is a large step for Uber, vehicles with autonomous capabilities still have a long way to go.
Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.
Latest Forza Motorsport 5 car pack leaves us scratching our head (in a good way) [w/video]
Wed, Jul 2 2014As we scrolled down the roster of the latest car pack for Forza Motorsport 5, the Hot Wheels Car Pack, our expression became bemused over the strange mix of vehicles that we now have at our disposal. This is quite unlike any of the other sets of DLC Turn 10 Studios has offered. Sure, there are the typical headliner cars – the Lamborghini Veneno and 2015 Audi S3 – that will appeal to the mainstream racing fan or auto enthusiast. But this latest car pack is so jammed full of nuggets of automotive weirdness that it's hard not to get excited. The Hot Wheels pack has no shortage of racers, with a particular focus on historical offerings. A 1939 Auto Union Type D covers the pre-war era of Formula One, while a 1967 Lotus 49 and a 1952 Ferrari 375 represent post-war racing. For a modern twist, a Mazda USF2000 car slots in below the Indy Lights car from the Nurburgring booster pack. From here, things get vintage and weird. There are a pair of delightfully offbeat coupes, in the form of a 1974 Toyota Celica GT and a 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT (here's hoping we get a vintage Holden Monaro in the future). Those two are joined by a 1956 Ford F-100, which your author already plans on converting into a dragster with vinyl flames down the side (because that's what all vintage pickups should be). The new ride we're most excited about, though, is the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500. Yes, that's the van from The A-Team, and we're sure it will prove to be an excellent canvas for the artists of FM5 to cover with airbrushed, fire-breathing unicorns and mystical, gray-haired wizards (or just poorly painted letters that read "Free Candy"). This latest car pack is the final monthly car pack for FM5, although Turn 10 is quick to point out that while the monthly updates are over, there will still be new batches of cars made available to gamers. As for the Hot Wheels pack, it's available now on Xbox Live for $9.99. Scroll down for the press release from Turn 10 Studios, as well as a video of the newest additions to Forza Motorsport 5's vehicle roster. Forza Motorsport 5 Hot Wheels Car Pack Now Available Turn 10 Studios is bringing the Hot Wheels® Car Pack to "Forza Motorsport 5," available for download today. The pack features a collection of vehicles built from the ground up for the new generation that car fans can collect and customize while putting their virtual driving skills to the test.
