THIS IS A 1932 FORD LOWBOY. LOTS OF MONEY SPENT ON THIS BUILD. FIBERGLASS BODY WITH ROUND-TUBE CHASSIS - POSSIBLY BUILT BY SPEEDWAY. POWERED BY SMALL BLOCK CHEVY 350 CRATE ENGINE WITH DUAL QUAD - VERY MILD AND RELIABLE WITH LOTS OF TORQUE, THE CAR IS FITTED WITH A COMPLETE STAINLESS EXHAUST SYSTEM ALL THE WAY TO THE REAR OF THE CAR, 3 SPEED AUTO TRANS, FORD 9IN REAR SET UP WITH HIGHWAY GEARS WITH ELLIPTICAL REAR SPRINGS. 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.

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number
Tue, 02 Sep 2014The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.
