1929 Ford 2 Door Tub, Street Rod, Convertible on 2040-cars
Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
|
This is a very solid, with steel body and fenders in very good condition. The owner had removed the roof from this two door sedan, to make it a TUB, street rod. The roof is available, should you wish to make it back to a sedan, which I doubt, when you see the craftsman ship involved. This was done 20 years ago and left in his pole barn, along with installing a Jasper 350 SBC, turbo 350 and a GM 10 bolt rear end. It also had a Mustang 11 front suspension installed and a tilt wheel. The interior has bucket seats, rear seat, floor shift and is sanitary and in very usable condition. You will notice wood parts, in place of sheet metal. This is also done with a great deal of craftsman ship and fits very well. Over the years, it has picked a good share of chips and scratches, moving it towards the rat rod category.
The owner, who had moved to Arizona, contacted me and asked if I would be interested in putting this disassembled street rod together and getting it running, as he had sold the property. I agreed and after doing all that is required in waking up and assembling a 20 year storage car, it now runs, moves, stops, with working lights and gauges. At this point it is not streetable, needing attention to the brakes and the 20 plus year old tires. It is capable of driving onto a trailer. During the assembly, I noticed the need for three hood hold downs, as I could find only one. It has six aluminum E/T wheels, with big and little's on the car, and they hold air. I've done what I can the easy stuff is left for you. The reserve is very reasonable, because of that. May consider a finished lead sled trade, no projects. This car is listed locally and is subject to prior sale, ending the auction. |

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining

Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV.

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
