Up for auction is my 1927 Ford Model T Rat Rod. In all honesty i really hate to sell this car but i am just plain out of room and have another one of my cars coming home from paint soon so i am going to put a couple things up for sale this being one of them. This is not your typical pyle of junk thrown together rat rod, this is a very well thought out and quality built car that is actually registered and titled as what it is a 1927 Ford Model T. To Start of with the Chassis and roll cage were custom built by a well know fabrication shop in southern california that specializes in building baja race cars,trophy trucks, pre runners as well as full chassis drag cars The frame is made of 2' by 3" box tubing and the cage is 1 1/2" dom tubing.The body does have rust and dents but it is supposed to it's a rat rod,it could still stand to have some finish welding done on the chop or can be driven as is. The body is 100% original steel no fiberglass crap here! As far as running gear goes the engine is a 1969 429 Ford Cobra that is mild motor with hydraulic cam 10:1 compression a vintage offenhauser tunnel ram with new dual holley 500 cfm mechanical secondary carbs and a vintage Joe Hunt Magneto with mechanical tach, We recently sent the magneto out to Joe Hunt and had the internal all refurbished,custom built headers that have had rinehart motorcyle baffells installed.The Transmission is a C6 that has also been recently rebuilt and has kevlar clutch packs,the transmisson cooler lines were hand built out of cooper tubbing and are one solid line no unions in them to leak. the rear end is a 9" with 3.55 gears and a spool.It has alluminum 10 gallon fuel tank in the trunk as well as electric fuel pump with a aeromotive fuel pressure regulator with fuel pressure guage. The battery is also located in the trunk as well. The rear wheels are real vinatage american racing wheels with hurst DOT approved drag tires.Up front is a set of Radir spindle mount wheels wraped with motorcycle tires, The front wheels also have previsions for disk brakes if you wanted to install them down the road. As it sits the car only has rear brakes but they provide plenty of stopping power for the car. Front suspension has 4" drilled dropped axle, the rear suspenion is 4 linked with coil over shocks.New aluminum radiator with electric fan. You can drive this car anywhere it always runs cool.It has a very nice reproduction '32 Ford grill in it.The headlights are 1940 chevy with original lenses and updated halogen bulbs in them. The interior was done by a local shop here in town using a real cow hide for the seat. The throttle pedal is an old offenhauser pedal,quick release steering wheel.This is without a doubt the funnest car i have ever owned.It's funny but this car actually gets more attention then my friends lamborghini.Please realize that this in no luxury car by any means, it does not have a heater or a/c, or heated seats! It also does not have seat belts or turn signals but i have driven the car over to the coast and back about 160 miles each way. Serious bidders only please! if you do not have the means to pay do not bid.

Ford recalls 591,177 vehicles in four separate campaigns
Wed, Apr 29 2015Ford is issuing recalls for a total of 591,177 vehicles worldwide, in four separate campaigns. The announcement comes just days after the discovery of door-latch problems in 390,000 of the automaker's cars. The largest of these new recalls covers 518,313 examples of the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ from the 2013-2015 model years, plus the 2015 Edge. Of these, 487,301 of are in the US and 31,012 are in Canada. For vehicles in cold-weather areas, the bolts that hold the steering gear motor can corrode and fracture. If this happens, it could cause the power steering to fail, but manual control would be retained. There are no reported accidents or injuries from this problem. To fix things, dealers will replace the bolts and seal them. The next campaign covers 50,157 examples of the 2014 Focus, Edge, Escape, and Transit Connect, plus the Fiesta from 2014 and 2015. Of these, 45,505 are in the US, 4,618 in Canada, and 34 in Mexico. All of them exhibit a problem with the fuel pump where the nickel plating can cause the part to seize and the engine to stall, if this occurs. (All of which sounds like recent problems with Nissan and BMW models.) According to Ford, there is one allegation of an accident from this problem. Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module to fix the problem. Ford is also recalling 22,616 units of the 2015 Lincoln MKZ because when the headlights are on, the parking lamps are brighter than they are allowed to be. The light could affect the vision of other drivers. This campaign includes 21,435 of them in the US, 1,066 in Canada and 115 in Mexico. There are no accidents or injuries from the issue, but Ford is updating the software to dim the lights on these sedans. Finally, Ford has a safety campaign for 91 examples of the 2015 F-150 because an underbody heat shield might not be properly installed or not present at all, which can be a fire risk. There are no reports of any actual accidents or fires, though. The affected pickups will have the parts replaced or added, as necessary after a dealer inspection. To see the specific build dates for the models affected by each of these campaigns, you can read about them in the press release below.

J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang
Thu, 05 Dec 2013J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
