Fantastic 1929 Model A Speedster with a very strong running model B engine. The engine has a stromberg down draft carb, finned aluminum heads, mild cam, custom headers, and original honeycomb radiator. The motor starts easy every time, and runs strong and cool. All new Stewart-Warner vintage style wings gauges. Excellent condition, continental tires with, I believe, early Ford truck spoked wheels. Rear end was modified with a early Ford Falcon gearing for higher speeds. Brakes have been converted to hydrolic. All new dash wiring and turn signals. Has 2 exhaust systems; 1 is original Model A exhaust, the second is a custom straight pipe actuated by a diverter control. Running gear and much of the body is original. Seats and some parts are custom fabricated. This Speedster is very solid and well put together, and nothing short of a total blast to drive. The sound is awesome and it gets "oohs and aahs" where ever it goes. Overall, this Speedster is in great condition, only issues I'm aware of are; the fuel sending unit still needs to be installed in oval fuel tank and the oil gauge only reads the amount of oil pressure created internally by the original dippers system (about 3 - 4 lbs.). Brand new battery and kill-switch system has been installed. Body paint and finish are very presentable, although the usual nicks and scrapes of a vintage vehicle are to be expected. As I've stated before, this Speedster is a blast to drive. It is fast, can be loud, (great sound), and is street-legal.

Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype sells for $7M
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
