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. |

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.

2014 Ford Fiesta gets fuel economy bump to 41 mpg
Fri, 07 Jun 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta is in showrooms now with refreshed styling and new performance ST model, but it's what isn't yet available that should help the Fiesta stand out from the growing crowd of subcompacts. Aside from the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost model coming later this year, Ford recently told us that a new Fiesta SFE trim level is on the way that should put the updated Fiesta at the top of its class for fuel economy.
The new Fiesta SFE will hit an estimated 41 miles per gallon on the highway when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission. The current listing on fueleconomy.gov shows the 2014 Fiesta getting up to 29 mpg city and 39 highway, but the SFE will get minor aero tuning and a recalibrated engine controller to help bump the highway figure past rivals like the Chevrolet Sonic and Nissan Versa - both of which top out at 40-mpg highway. There's still no word as to when the small 1.0-liter EcoBoost will show in the US, but Ford has indicated that engine's fuel economy isn't expected to be released until October.
