 The Body is a steel 1929 Ford Model A coupe. I chopped it 4.5" and I channeled the body 2.75". I also put a metal roof on it!

The steering is a new reverse corvair steering box with traditional steering. quick release steering wheel for ease of getting in and out of the vehicle.

The dash is out of a 1951 Oldsmobile. I cut approximately 13" out of this dash to make it fit. The Gauge cluster is just cosmetic. I have a gps mounted in the car for speedometer and odometer. the gps was reset when I finished the car. every mile driven is recorded!

It has a 4r70w automatic transmission with overdrive. it is shifted by a B&M shifter. A manual Valve body was installed to eliminate the computer.

The 4.6 SOHC engine runs great and smooth! The short block is a NPI out of a Lincoln. The PI heads are off of a 2000 mustang gt. This combination bumps up the compression ratio. I just put $800.00 into putting trick flow cams, new upgraded valve springs and timing chains in it. It has a carbureted Edelbrock intake with a 600 edelbrock carb. It also has 8 cop`s for ignition. The ignition system is controlled by MSD MOD 6. Very easy system to work with and tune the car! The tuning parameters are endless for this setup! Very expensive setup. starts and runs great everytime!

The rear end is out of a 1979 Lincoln. It is a disk brake 9". It has a 2.70 gear ratio. Cruises 65 mph at 1050 rpm! I built this car to be very reliable and to get good gas mileage. I average close to 40 MPG with it!

The STOP light in the back has been upgraded with a 6" led light inside of it for maximum visibility and safety. When the brakes are pressed all the brake lights come on. NO TURNSIGNALS! stick your arm out! The Trunk lid is held down by custom leather belt straps made by my wife! She antiqued them and they work and look great! Lots of comments about them everywhere we go!! I made a custom license plate bracket that will stay on the car.

the front end is a 6" drop tube axle with disk brakes. It has a pan hard, shocks, spring behind and steering stabilizer! Handles GREAT!

It has 15" steel wheels with NOS wide whitewalls in perfect condition! 1300 miles on them and you cant even tell it! they are bias ply polyester tires. 50`s era hubcaps!

It has a Griffin race radiator fitted for a FORD Model A grill shell! I have a electric fan with thermostat on it. The fan works great! tested it once but the car never gets hot enough for it to even come on!

I made all the coolant lines out of copper and it works and looks cool!

I built a custom set of headers for it that will come with the car. I just wanted the exhaust system all the way out the back! Personally the headers I built look better on the car! I put 4" motorcycle baffles in each primary tube to quiet it down. I also header wrapped them!

I built the frame in a jig. It is a 2x3 3/16"  rectangular steel frame. 4" kick up in the front. 16" kickup in the back! 2" drop Model a front crossmember. very strong frame! all joints were welded and on top of that gusseted!

If the Buyer wishes then I can sand off my door art, repaint the door and have it ready for you to put your own door art on it!

For the seats?? well its a rat rod! I have bottom cushions made for it and you rest your back on the rear interior panel! its actually comfortable! im 6` tall and 230 lbs and I fit perfect! I built it for bigger people. If you`re shorter then you could put a seat in it putting you closer to the pedals and steering wheel.

I have one marine 6" speaker in it hooked to a amplifier. I hooked a ipod hook up to the amplifier also. It is plenty loud! very clean set up.

I am using the original gas tank in the car! it holds 10 gallons of gas. I have a carter electric fuel pump on it to transfer fuel to the carb. at close to 40 mpg you can travel pretty far!

Be ready though, I cant drive this car anywhere and expect to leave soon! I get stopped by people all the time to look at it! I have got more thumbs up since I finished this car than I ever have seen!!!

I recently put a new interior in the car. my wife and I made all the panels and sewed them ourselves!

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions! This is a great car and it wont be for sale for long!

2014 Ford Fiesta gets fuel economy bump to 41 mpg

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

The 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.

2020 Ford Explorer safer than old model; crash test ratings short of Top Safety Pick

Mon, Dec 16 2019

The 2020 Ford Explorer three-row crossover has improved on the outgoing model in many ways. According to the IIHS, it has also improved in a number of safety categories, but not enough to earn a Top Safety Pick award. The culprit is not the headlight performance for once. The Explorer's headlights were given an "Acceptable" rating, which would be sufficient for Top Safety Pick, if not Top Safety Pick +. Where the Ford falls short is in the front small overlap driver-side crash test, in which it got the second highest "Acceptable" rating. The IIHS requires a "Good" rating in this category, whereas an "Acceptable" rating on the passenger side would be, well, acceptable for Top Safety Pick. According to IIHS, Ford will be reviewing the results to figure out what the issue is, and it will likely make revisions to future Explorers to improve the result. Other than the one test, the Explorer performed admirably. It received a "Good" rating in all other crash categories except the passenger-side small overlap that was not tested. Both its standard and optional forward collision prevention systems had the highest "Superior" ratings, with the standard one preventing a collision with a car at speeds of up to 25 mph, and the optional one avoiding a collision at 12 mph, and "nearly" preventing one at 25 mph. Headlights are rated as "Acceptable" and so is access to child seat LATCH anchors. Also worth noting is that the Explorer's crash test ratings apply to its luxurious twin the 2020 Lincoln Aviator, meaning it also doesn't get a Top Safety Pick rating. The forward collision system performed the same as in the Ford, and the only difference between the two was in headlight performance. The Lincoln's standard headlights, included on the base, Reserve and Grand Touring trims, have the second-lowest "Marginal" rating, but the optional headlights for those trims, and the standard ones on the Black Label trim, received the "Good" rating. Among three-row Explorer competitors, the Honda Pilot, Hyundai Santa Fe XL, Kia Telluride, Nissan Pathfinder and Toyota Highlander all have a Top Safety Pick. The Hyundai Palisade, Mazda CX-9, Subaru Ascent, and the slightly smaller Kia Sorento and Volkswagen Tiguan all have a Top Safety Pick +. As for Lincoln Aviator competitors, the Cadillac XT6, Infiniti QX60, Lexus RX and Volvo XC90 get a Top Safety Pick. The Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and two-row-only BMW X5 get the Top Safety Pick + rating. Related Video:
