THIS IS A 1932 FORD LOWBOY. LOTS OF MONEY SPENT ON THIS BUILD. FIBERGLASS BODY WITH ROUND-TUBE CHASSIS - POSSIBLY BUILT BY SPEEDWAY.

THIS REAR HOUSING AND AXLE ASSEMBLY WAS PURCHASED FROM SPEEDWAY, NEW. THE FRONT HAS TRANSVERSE LEAF SPRING. THE CAR HAS 4 WHEEL DISC BRAKES, FULL INSTRUMENTATION, CD PLAYER AND A FINISHED INTERIOR AND TRUNK. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND HAVE DRIVEN IT ON SEVERAL 4-500 MILE TRIPS WITH NO ISSUES. THERE IS A HOOD WITH THE CAR BUT IT NEEDS TO BE PAINTED AND FITTED. THE CAR HAS AMERICAN RACING TORQUE THRUST D WHEELS AND BFGOODRICH TIRES.
THIS CAR CAME TO ME ALREADY BUILT, THE ONLY THING THAT I CHANGED WAS THE REAR END HOUSING. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR, IT HAD COME FROM AN INSURANCE AUCTION - THE LEFT REAR TIRE WAS FLAT AND THE REAR HOUSING WAS BENT. I SAW NO DAMAGE ANYWHERE ELSE. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT IT WAS A RUNNING CAR. I HAD THE REPAIRS MADE, THE CAR WAS INSPECTED AND WAS ISSUED A REBUILT FLORIDA TITLE. THIS CAR WAS BUILT IN CALIFORNIA AND THATS WHERE IT REMAINED UNTIL I PURCHASED IT.
THIS WAS A VERY PROFESSIONAL BUILD CALIFORNIA STYLE LOWBOY, FRAME AND SOME SUSPENSION PARTS WERE PAINTED BODY COLOR. THINGS LIKE STAINLESS EXHAUST AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL IN THE TRUNK AND INTERIOR ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT EVERYTHING INVOLVING THE BUILD MORE THAN LIKELY WAS PURCHASED NEW AT THE TIME OF ASSEMBLY.
THE ONE THING THAT I HAVE NEVER ADDRESSED IS THE BACK OF THE CAR HAS A SLIGHT LEAN TO THE LEFT - NOT SURE WHY. BUT I HAVE HAD THE CAR AT OVER 100 MPH SEVERAL TIMES AND IT IS AS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW. I HAVE SEVERAL HOTRODS AND COLLECTOR CARS IN MY COLLECTION AND THIS CAR HAS BEEN A LOT OF FUN. TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS.

The next-generation wearable will be your car
Fri, Jan 8 2016This year's CES has had a heavy emphasis on the class of device known as the "wearable" – think about the Apple Watch, or Fitbit, if that's helpful. These devices usually piggyback off of a smartphone's hardware or some other data connection and utilize various onboard sensors and feedback devices to interact with the wearer. In the case of the Fitbit, it's health tracking through sensors that monitor your pulse and movement; for the Apple Watch and similar devices, it's all that and some more. Manufacturers seem to be developing a consensus that vehicles should be taking on some of a wearable's functionality. As evidenced by Volvo's newly announced tie-up with the Microsoft Band 2 fitness tracking wearable, car manufacturers are starting to explore how wearable devices will help drivers. The On Call app brings voice commands, spoken into the Band 2, into the mix. It'll allow you to pass an address from your smartphone's agenda right to your Volvo's nav system, or to preheat your car. Eventually, Volvo would like your car to learn things about your routines, and communicate back to you – or even, improvise to help you wake up earlier to avoid that traffic that might make you late. Do you need to buy a device, like the $249 Band 2, and always wear it to have these sorts of interactions with your car? Despite the emphasis on wearables, CES 2016 has also given us a glimmer of a vehicle future that cuts out the wearable middleman entirely. Take Audi's new Fit Driver project. The goal is to reduce driver stress levels, prevent driver fatigue, and provide a relaxing interior environment by adjusting cabin elements like seat massage, climate control, and even the interior lighting. While it focuses on a wearable device to monitor heart rate and skin temperature, the Audi itself will use on-board sensors to examine driving style and breathing rate as well as external conditions – the weather, traffic, that sort of thing. Could the seats measure skin temperature? Could the seatbelt measure heart rate? Seems like Audi might not need the wearable at all – the car's already doing most of the work. Whether there's a device on a driver's wrist or not, manufacturers seem to be developing a consensus that vehicles should be taking on some of a wearable's functionality.
BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
