1931 Model A Deluxe Roadster Prewar Postwar Hotrod Banger B Motor on 2040-cars
Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States
|
1931 Model A roadster highboy project with a "B" motor. I just bought an unexpected project so I decided that I have to sell my prewar/ postwar stripped down roadster project. This car is about 80% done and will not take much to finish. This is a late 31' deluxe roadster titled in my name and registered to the number on it's super clean original chassis. I pulled the body and had the bare frame sandblasted and etch primed and painted black along with all the other suspension parts. The front suspension has a stock wishbone, Okie Joe 4" dropped A axle, 37-41 round back spindles, 40' juice brakes, 40' lever shocks. Stock A steering box, pitman arm, and wheel.
Rear suspension is original A banjo with 40' Juice brakes, original A spring reversed and 3 leafs removed, stock radius rods and torque tube. 40' lever shocks. All the suspension parts have been cleaned and all wear items and hardware replaced if needed. B motor was a running take out from a mint B chassis. I took the pan off and shimmed the Babbitt with plastigauge and checked everything. Custom header and downdraft intake made with WAC custom flanges. Ultra rare Simmons Super Power Head, and Thomas finned valve cover. Nice Ford 94 carb. Stock B head and water pump is also available. Stock A trans and flywheel housing. Wheels and tires are 16 X 4 steel wheels on all 4 corners with like new 4.50-16 firestone deluxe champions on the front and New 7.00-16 firestone Deluxe champions on the rear. I will be glad to sell the car less wheels and tires. The Body is a nice original body that looks to have never had any exterior patch panels. The subrails are really nice. The wheel wells need to be replaced and there has been patch work on the rear floors. The Rumble lid and doors are really nice with very minimal work to fix. I have the deluxe top irons, wood bows, and back glass. Car needs to have the brakes gone thru, master cyl mounted, brakes plumbed, wiring, radiator checked, etc I have a lot of new parts for the car and I am sure I am forgetting a lot of details so please call me for more info.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters
Sun, 28 Sep 2014The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.
Ford F-100 'Snakebit' shown off by Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford, along with KISS bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed, used SEMA as a backdrop to pull the covers off Snakebit, a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck that's been updated with Shelby Mustang-derived styling bits and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. All 550 horsepower are funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels.
Underneath the custom bodywork sits a chassis that's been stretched five inches and a bed widened and bedecked with billet machined pieces that are supposed to look like wood. The 20-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels ape those of past Shelby Mustang models. The interior is swathed in two-tone leather with a bench seat designed to look - try to act surprised - like a Shelby Mustang.
Like what you see? Bidding for the truck will take place in 2014 at an unspecified Barrett-Jackson event (we'd assume Scottsdale). Proceeds will be used to help build a children's hospital in Saskatoon, in the province of Saskatchewan, where Ms. Tweed grew up. See the high-res gallery above and the press release down below for more.
